Minnesota hunters can expect a drop in pheasant numbers this fall. The Department of Natural Resources says a harsh winter followed by a wet spring has led to a big decline in the state's pheasant counts.

This weekend is the annual Take-A-Kid-Fishing weekend in Minnesota. Adults can fish without a license, if they're accompanied by a child age 15 or younger.

If you're planning on camping at one of Minnesota's 72 State Parks, you'd better move fast. The DNR says about 30% of the campsites are nonreservable and are available on e first-come, first-served basis. So, the sooner you can get there today the better.
