CO Brent Grewe (Minnetonka) spent the week checking anglers and monitoring turkey hunting activity. He followed up on complaints about ground-feeding wild animals and issued permits for a road-killed turkey and an incidentally taken otter.

CO Ben Ulrich (Osseo) spent the week working angling and boating enforcement as well as speaking at local firearms safety classes. Time was spent assisting other officers and agencies. Violations encountered this week were no license in possession, fishing without a license, and taking an overlimit of crappies.

CO Thephong Le (ELCOP) worked the metro area for angling, boating activity, and the spring turkey season. He assisted with a work detail during a VIP visit to Minnesota.

CO Alexander Birdsall (Waconia) continues to focus on shore-angling activity and ATV enforcement. Cool water appeared to keep the bite at a minimum around the area. Follow-up work was done for big-game case work.

CO James Fogarty (Prior Lake) checked anglers and turkey hunters. Fogarty checked a few archery turkey hunters who were out trying their luck. Cooler weather kept some hunters heading out for afternoon hunts. The panfish bite seemed to pick up. He checked several anglers who were doing well. Education and enforcement action was taken on possession of an overlimit of fish, angling without a license, and no license in possession.

Ft. Snelling vacant.
