Prairie Update, Duck Fat, and Misinformation (Ep. 717)
About this episode
On this episode, Dr. Scott Stephens joins Dr. Mike Brasher for an update on habitat and hunting conditions across the prairies, although the report isn't as upbeat as hoped! Fields remain dusty and wetlands remain dry, but ducks are still available for shooting. Scott also discusses his plans for future duck and pheasant hunts and shares his thoughts on misinformation around Canadian duck harvest, the origin of super moons, physiology of duck fat, winter weather, and the importance of being on the target! A rare episode that offers more questions than answers—join us for an entertaining and wide-ranging discussion of ducks, dogs, hunting, and more.
