Originally from Johannesburg South Africa, Dr. Robert "Robbie" Kröger, is the Executive Director of Blood Origins a 501c3 non-profit he started in 2020. Blood Origins is simple in its execution - create content that conveys the truth around hunting and hunters around the world to the non-hunting majority. 

Kröger and the guys get into harvest vs. kill semantics, social media and pile pics, hunting narratives, and discovering your "why." This episode is a thought-provoking must-listen for the modern-day waterfowling hunter.

Dr. Doug Osborne is a Professor of Wildlife Ecology at the University of Arkansas-Monticello, focusing on waterfowl. He also plays a vital role in Humphrey, Arkansas's Five Oaks Ag Research and Education Center. 

In this episode, Osborne provides up-to-the-minute locations of GPS-marked mallards after and during this harsh cold front. He compares current behavior to the February 2021 lock-up in the Mississippi Flyway. 

Osborne also discusses the impact of harvesting adult and hen mallards during down population years and a need to reassess Adaptive Harvest Management (AHM) and its ability to set appropriate season frameworks. 

It's a great listen for anyone wondering where the ducks are and how the population gets rebuilt to that magical 10 million mallards number.
