This is from our neighbor on the Vermilion River. She had an water emergency and Leif helped her out along with her boyfriend.
Thanks Renee. My husband Leif,
is good people and I’m happy he could assist in your recovery back to the cabin. This was back in August.

This is what she wrote:

I wanted to post this on your FB page but it won’t let me. Maybe you can copy paste it for me. Thanks

It’s nice to know that Leif will drop everything when someone needs a hand.
Thank you Leif! 🎣

The Minnesota pheasant index is up nearly 20%! 🪶

Every year, Minnesota DNR conducts roadside surveys to record pheasant observations and track population trends. In addition to this research, biologists also use citizen science efforts through the turkey and pheasant brood survey (mndnr.gov/wildlife/sightings/brood-survey.html) to inform pheasant indices. 📊

This year’s pheasant index was 90 birds per 100 miles of roads driven, compared to 75 birds in 2025. Pheasant indices increased in the west central, central, and south central regions by 74%, 25%, and 17%, respectively. 📈

The increase in the pheasant index across the state and within several regions is good news for pheasant hunters this fall. 🔶

Weather and habitat are the main influences on Minnesota’s pheasant population trends. The warmer winter likely helped the overwinter survival of hens, and the drier and warmer spring and summer created better conditions for nesting and brood-rearing relative to last year. 🐤

Watch for these hunter’s-

Hunters, DON'T SHOOT research bears! 🐻

Bear hunting season starts Sept. 1 and researchers are requesting that bear hunters avoid shooting marked research bears (like the one featured). These bears have large, colorful ear tags and wear radio collars. 📡

Researchers with the Minnesota DNR are monitoring 50 radio-collared black bears across the state, especially in bear hunting zones 27, 45 and parts of the no-quota zone. 🧭

All but two of these bears are female. ♀️

These collared bears give us much of the data we use in bear management and are most valuable to us when they are collared for multiple years. Thank you to hunters who have opted not to take collared bears in past years and hunters who choose not to harvest collared bears this season. 🧡
