Last week’s election results signaled big wins for hunting, conservation and the 2nd Amendment. We say goodbye to Deb Halaand’s dumpster fire regime as Secretary of Interior. Florida passes Amendment 2 – the Right to Hunt and Fish,  anti gun gubernatorial hopeful Ryan Busse was thrashed in the Montana governor’s race and perhaps most importantly- Prop 127 was defeated in Colorado as scientific based wildlife management won out of emotions. All great things!

After discussing those topics I welcome Duck’s Unlimited’s David Schuessler back to the show. With duck season officially here, we dive into a bunch waterfowl related topics including:

  • takeaways from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife’s annual waterfowl survey
  • what’s up with blue winged teal?
  • to MOJO or not?
  • impact of Hurricane Helene on East Coast hunters
  • the boomer generation as hunting memorabilia collectors, what happens to all their treasures now?
  • early woodduck season?
  • high temps impact on fall migration across the country
  • DU’s annual Into the Vault auction
