EP 476. California Leads Nation's Duck Harvest Thanks to CWA Duck Season Somewhere

While America's most populated state is ofentimes characterized by its big blue-city progressive politics, California consistly harvests more ducks than any other state. It's not by accident. Far from it. Founded in 1945, California Waterfowl Association has exerted David-versus-Goliath efforts to improve habitat and wetlands, increase waterfowl production, hunter access and recruitment despite the Golden State's notorious political climate. John Carlson, Mark Hennely, Jake Messerli and I wade through a boundless marsh of hard-earned accomplishments---producing 1-million wood ducks, salvaging eggs, banding ducks, ensuring Klamath Basin's permanent water rights, providing Veteran Hunt Program, conserving wetlands to reduce a carbon footprint, establishing CWA Hunt Program, embracing new field-to-fork mindsets, replacing kids screentime with nature, tackling ongoing challanges. Could this grassroots conservation model improve duck hunting in your homestate? How might death-by-a-thousand-cuts, modern-day duck hunting improve if embraced nationwide? Listen and let us know your thoughts.
