get outside. take someone new. try to take someone who doesn’t look like you.

Fuck therapy. From now on I’m just gardening like a maniac while listening to Fugazi cranked until my molars rattle. 🌹 🌳 🌱

Despite the early hour (4:30am!) hunters at the Governor’s Turkey Hunt event were bright-eyed and ready to get out in the woods!

We'll hear soon how they did...

First-time hunter Greta had great success this morning at the Governor's Turkey Hunting event!

Greta's mentor today was James Burnham, DNR's recruit, retain, reactivate coordinator in the Fish and Wildlife Division. Congratulations, Greta!

Great group of long-time & first-time hunters at today's Governor's Turkey Hunt! 🦃

The event highlights the fun & challenge of hunting. It also celebrates the conservation success of the decades-long partnership between The National Wild Turkey Federation & DNR. @NWTF_official

That's a wrap on the 2023 Governor's Turkey Hunt.

Congrats again to first-timer Greta Alquist who bagged a bird! Greta was mentored by DNR staffer James Burnham.

To the hunters who have taken to the field, we’d love to see how it’s going! https://t.co/oO7hPMLQWZ

Remember to check for special fishing regulations. They cover individual lakes, rivers or streams and differ from statewide or border water regulations. Check LakeFinder, StreamFinder or the Minnesota fishing regulations handbook (pages 38-55) https://t.co/FuSBHLiY2O #FishMN

Ahhh, the unmistakable signs of spring. Crocuses blooming, tulips shooting up, willows budding out, and the pitter patter of pigeon parts raining down from peregrine perches onto pedestrian paths below.

@MarvelousMarks Don’t be so de-murre. You’re no cuckoo ya crazy loon. No ownage. Just game respecting game. Let’s just not get too grebe-y with this thread. H/t to @StinaLocke for the murre reference.

@MarvelousMarks You’re gonna make me do this? I don’t want to grouse about your crowing. I’m hoping for a swift swan song with these puns. Willet ever end you old coot? Because they really make me feel like a booby and I’m craning my neck to keep above it all. This could get auk-ward.

[James @jamesburnham]

@MarvelousMarks That’s the biggest structural deficit? What about how it’s a not-so-thinly-veiled caste system advertised as a meritocracy that depends entirely on exploiting the labor, ideas, and energy of subordinate levels of the academic hierarchy so that the ones at the top prosper?

[James @jamesburnham]

@CyrusBaird Here’s another one. @HuntersOfColor comes through with a powerful rebuttal that clearly details the harm MeatEater’s post can represent to the very communities we should want (and need) to be more involved in hunting and fishing.

[James @jamesburnham]

@bha_mn @outdoorlife Watching MeatEater go all “outdoors gatekeepers” after building an empire on hunting is like watching a friend who wore Che Guevara T’s & rant about wealth redistribution when they were broke advocate for tax cuts for the super wealthy once they start pulling a sweet income...

An #EidAlFitr celebration in St. Cloud offered a chance for young Somali-Americans to mark the holiday and connect with the outdoors — through fishing

On these early mornings out on the lake with my fly rod folks inevitably ask, "Did you have any luck?" I have to smile every time because it's not fish I'm after. As the sun rises in the east on a calm clear day I'm lucky just to be out here. #joytrippro… https://t.co/mVVQ66L9wF
