Duck Season Somewhere - EP 563. Dead Hens Don't Lay Eggs and Other Topics

EP 563. Dead Hens Don't Lay Eggs and Other Topics

03/10/25 • 87 min

Duck Season Somewhere

In case you haven't noticed, North American duck populations--duck harvests--have declined from the highs of the late-90s. Dead hens don't lay eggs, for sure, but is the fix that simple? What are the root causes for these declines in waterfowl populations? How bad is it, why might it get way worse before it gets better, and what can we duck hunters really do about it? Scott Stephens, DU's Senior Director of Prairie and Boreal Forest Conservation, joins me to discuss.

EP 562. Seeing Duck Hunting--and Life--for What They Really Are

Following in his father's footsteps, Joel Tavera joined the military and was fast-tracked into the sandbox of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He returned a different man, eventually gaining consciousness in a San Antonio, Texas military hospital where a very long-row-to-hoe recovery awaited. He's now an active waterfowl hunter, well on his way to achieving the North American slam, but past life events have shaped how he now sees duck hunting and life for what they're really, truly all about. Tavera's is a powerfully inspirational story.
