Well, here it is— a look back on what has been referred to as “one of the worst hunting seasons in memory.” Co-hosts Chris Jennings and Dr. Mike Brasher are joined by Jim Ronquest, Vice President of Development for Drake Waterfowl, to discuss the season from start to finish, north to south, and east to west. Numerous factors conspired to make the 2023-24 season a challenging one for even the most seasoned hunters, including low breeding populations, El Nino, widespread drought, limited snowfall, record low ice cover, and temperature swings from record warmth to record cold. As one season ends another begins, and the group looks ahead to dry conditions on the prairies and what is needed to turn things around.

On February 16th,  the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission released their survey for the next two-year cycle of rules and regulations across all fishing and hunting.  Public land hunter Chris Harrell and non-resident public land hunter Alex Johns (Brown Water Lanyards) join Cason and Brent to walk through the waterfowl-related portion of the survey, sharing insights that every waterfowler should listen to before completing the survey.

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.
