  • Ep. 638 - Bonus: Unsettled Weather Brings Welcome Change to the Great Lakes and Beyond
    Nov 22 2024

    On this special episode, Dr. Mike Brasher visits with Jay Anglin, DU Waterfowl 360 Migration Editor for the Great Lakes, and Mark Holley, chief meteorologist for WSAW-TV in Wausau, Wisconsin, about recent changes to weather conditions, bird movements, and hunter success across the Great Lakes. After a slow season across much of the region, Anglin reports that activity in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio is finally “heating up” thanks to a weather system that is bringing colder temps and windier conditions. Holley gives the meteorological details around what’s driving the change and gives an optimistic report that we may see unsettled weather and colder temperatures continuing into early December. The timing couldn’t be better for southern and mid-latitude duck hunters! Happy Hunting, y’all!

  • Ep. 634 - A Game Changer for Wetland Conservation, Water, and Ducks – H2Ohio
    Nov 19 2024

    Ten years ago, a harmful algal bloom in western Lake Erie forced the city of Toledo to issue a “do not drink” advisory for its water supply. Now, Ohio is home to one of the most transformational wetland restoration programs in America. This program, known as H2Ohio, is using wetland restoration and other practices to reduce nutrient flows into Lake Erie and improving the quality of water for its citizens. In this episode, Dr. Mike Brasher sits down with DU regional biologists, Russ Terry and Corey VanStratt, and Eric Saas of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to discuss DU’s involvement in delivering H2Ohio and how it is producing not only cleaner water, but more habitat for ducks and additional places for hunting.

  • Ep. 633 - Conserving Duck Habitat on the Prairies
    Nov 14 2024

    The Prairie Pothole Region is DU’s highest priority landscape, as it supports over 50 percent of breeding ducks in North America annually. On this episode, Dr. Mike Brasher is joined by Dr. Scott Stephens and Graydon Garner, agricultural programs and extension specialist for DU Canada, to highlight the activities used to conserve grasslands and wetland in prairie Alberta. From forage conversion to wetland restoration and permanent protection of intact habitats, DU applies a diverse portfolio of conservation on the prairies, as we seek solutions that benefit agricultural producers and ranchers while improving the landscape for ducks. But to begin, Graydon provides an update on wetland conditions on the prairies and highlights the need for additional precipitation to improve conditions heading into 2025.
