Duck Season Somewhere ·

2023/07/31

Argentina's Parana River Delta is second only to the Amazon River in size. But as viewed from a floating duck camp located tens of miles from even the nearest dirt road, you'd hardly know the difference--wild, unspoiled marsh stretching to the horizon in all directions. And ducks. Lots of them. Accessing such remoteness requires an hour-and-a-half boat ride, but accommodations, services and hospitality are far from spartan. To the contrary. Immersed in the middle of nowhere, world-class duck hunting

Argentina's ongoing drought is the worse since 1901, and in a landscape predominated by ephemeral wetlands, that's a really big deal. Unless you've got a foolproof plan.

Hunting generates gazillions of dollars for wildlife conservation, and everyone in society benefits from wildlife conservation, right? Then why are anti-hunting organizations reinventing the world-envied North American Model by removing crucial hunting-related funding from wildlife management?! Just who the f-bomb are these groups, how are they replacing hard science with social science, how are they leveraging the public trust doctrine against us and--you can not make this stuff up--putting us all

EP 372. The Pintail Paradox

2023/07/03

These are interesting--and challenging--times. Especially for northern pintails and us duck hunters that hold these sprig-tailed, chocolate-headed beauties in high regard. On the one hand, science now demonstrates unequivocally that a 3-pintail bag limit will not affect pintail populations---and might be forthcoming in upcoming seasons! On the other hand, the continental pintail population is perilously close to the threshold below which there will be no hunting them at all in the Lower 48! Mitch

"Storm is threatening my life today. If I don't get some shelter. ooh yeah I'm gonna fade away" sing The Rolling Stones. But regards duck hunting success, does sanctuary help or hurt?

2023/06/01

From a 1.1 million peak in the late-1990s, the Great Lakes mallard population has declined to about 700 thousand. Meanwhile, there's been increased genetic infusion of game farm mallards that don't necessarily migrate as do wild-originated mallards. That could be a good thing for Great Lakes hunters, right? Or not? As part of a major study to determine why mallard populations are declining in the US, Brad Luukonen is completing his dissertation and University of Michigan. Luukonen sheds light on
