Once upon a time, Stuttgart, Arkansas was the Rice and Duck Capital of the world, and--for sure--duck hunting traditions remain interwoven into Arkansas's cultural identity. Especially green headed ducks. Mallards. But continental mallard populations have declined 50% during the last decade or so. What now? Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's Wildlife Management Division Chief, Luke Naylor explains the then versus now of Arkansas duck hunting. The numbers are sobering. We discuss habitat, mallard harvests, waterfowl harvests relative to the Mississippi Flyway and entire United States, sex ratios, habitat conditions, social and economical values, changes, reasons for declines--and more. Times have changed, for sure, but you'll have a darned hard time convincing me that Arkansas doesn't still have claim to it's lofty, long-standing title. Listen, decide for yourself, and let us know your thoughts.

A hunter since way back when, Ronnie Richardson explains that it's not about killing, so much as it's about experiencing places. National Land Realty's CEO, Richardson's wealth of knowledge in recreational and investment properties was derived the old-fashioned way--by spending decades doing it well. And it's been these two things--hunting and land--that've kept us in touch since high school. We catch up today, talking about people, places, and hunting land. Good stuff.

"I want the biggest pile of dead ducks over the longest period of time," implies the maximum sustained yield model by which North America's waterfowl populations are managed. North America likely harvests more waterfowl than the rest of the world combined. But is it really what hunters want? To hear a few grumbling internet malcontents, you'd think maybe not--but what does the data say? Former Migratory Bird Chief Brad Border is back, discussing North American Waterfowl Management Goals and changes, measuring and managing hunter satisfaction, North America waterfowl harvest levels, maximum sustained yield--and consequences--duck hunter participation declines and implications, and much, much more!  These hot-button topics are making the rounds. Listen, learn, let us know your thoughts.

"Her hips are beautiful and knees look great, but at her age one of the biggest risk is blowing out her ACL like aging athletes do," said veterinarian Dr. Bill Sullivan during Char Dawg's recent visit. She's only 6 years old. In today's highly informative conversation, we cover need-to-know, aging-retriever topics quicker than a hard-charging lab through sheet water. Topics include retriever aging, conditioning, expectations versus reality, avian influenza, dietary needs, training versus hunting, major threats to aging retriever health (some you'd never think of) and much, much more. Seriously good info concerning your ride-or-die canine partner's health on the back side of their way too brief career. Listen and let us know your thoughts.
