Ep. 695 - Habitat Update - Is It Time to Sell Your Decoys?
Description
DU chief scientist, Dr. Steve Adair, joins Dr. Mike Brasher and Dr. Scott Stephens to discuss reports and observations of spring and summer habitat conditions, what it might mean for duck numbers, and how it could affect your hunting success this year. Anecdotal reports indicate continued widespread prairie drought, dry conditions and fire in the Boreal Forest, but stable to good conditions in eastern Canada. Drs. Steve, Mike, and Scott offer their annual prognostications for what the duck and pond numbers will be, while speculating about what it could mean for recommended harvest regulations in 2026. Although numbers are expected to be down, Dr. Scott advises that you not sell your decoys!
