Midwest Flyways Podcast

This week we have a special episode for you guys coming to you from the Ducks Unlimited Expo in Memphis, TN. We were invited to guest host an episode of the DUX livestream while we spent the weekend in Memphis with friends and we were lucky enough to be joined by two extremely educated individuals in Dr. Steve Adair and Dr. Jerad Henson. We decided the best way to keep it real with these guys was to ask the hard hitting questions that waterfowl hunters can’t quite figure out. We talk about survey results, waterfowl migration, breeding and so much more. These guys have a lot of great information surrounding waterfowl and we had a blast getting to talk with them.

This week we wanted to talk about a crazy story we were sent about the ducks in Green Bay. Apparently, the water has become so tainted that the DNR is advising people not to eat their harvested ducks in that area. We also found other articles about different places that are also saying to limit your consumption of wild duck meat. What a crazy deal. Have you seen or heard of anything like this?
