  5. Ep. 74 – Burn It All Down Episode Part 1: The Mis Information Rhetoric About Waterfowl Management Must End

    JAN 27

    Ep. 74 – Burn It All Down Episode Part 1: The Mis Information Rhetoric About Waterfowl Management Must End

    The conspiracies, mis information, lack of judgement in comment, and tearing down of the waterfowl community must end. DrMike is fed up and digs through the latest and greatest of the idiocracy coming across your wave lengths about the state of waterfowl across North America…that and we dig into some of the latest mallard, redhead, and canvasback population models – is it guns or habitat that run duck numbers? If you ask others, it’s all a big unknown with wild speculation, but again, DrMike cuts through the BS and just reports the facts. Time to step up my friends across duck country and put to rest the speculation and the mis information campaign. Could the state of waterfowl hunting and waterfowl hunting culture be better, certainly, but to tear down all the hard work of generations without doing your homework, well that is just disrespectful, but even more so it is dangerous rhetoric with no gain for ducks, doing more harm than good…THAT…and the final duck migration forecast of the 2024-2025 duck season.

  8. Ep. 71 – Duck Country USA: Everybody Lies

    JAN 13

    Ep. 71 – Duck Country USA: Everybody Lies

    A naïve observer would think that everyone lies in the duck world. The biologists lie about numbers and locations of winter ducks, the hunters lie about not seeing ducks, the hunters lie about killing ducks, the non-profits lie about flooded corn to the north, the biologists lie about the number of ducks on the continent. Lies, Lies, Lies. DrMike cuts through the BS in another information packed episode, that more about what telemetry tells and does not tell us, and your duck migration forecast for the coming week.
