Minnesota Waterfowl Hunting

Maybe but he's the guy in charge and isn't the deer herd also a disaster along with mille lacs and of course ducks.

All hail governor Goofy!

Remember when they did that for both cans and pins. Dumbest shit ever.

That being said, with the track record of our dnr I doubt we will see an increase in the daily limit.

Why on earth should he lose it over that? It's a massive lake that sees massive pressure. It's impossible to provide world class walleye fishing on a body of water like that every single year, especially one as close to the cities as that one.

Although I would like to see him and Cordt's get fired for not having a teal season.

The thing with the DNR and all of the resources it manages is that the DNR is still ultimately under the thumb of the legislature & Governor.

Dayton said he was going to push for stocking Mille Lacs even though the science says that would be stupid.

The legislature stuck their nose into the APR deer regs.

When the USFWS initially offered "extended frameworks" the legislature passed a law saying duck season would open Saturday closest to Oct 1 so the DNR would have no choice.

So if Landwher chooses to do stuff that conflicts with the political powers, he runs the risk of getting nullified by legislation or hammered at budget time. One way or another, politics is always involved

Spot on Quack about the legislatures interference.
