About this episode
Dr. Doug Osborne is a Professor of Wildlife Ecology at the University of Arkansas-Monticello, focusing on waterfowl. He also plays a vital role in Humphrey, Arkansas's Five Oaks Ag Research and Education Center.
In this episode, Osborne provides up-to-the-minute locations of GPS-marked mallards after and during this harsh cold front. He compares current behavior to the February 2021 lock-up in the Mississippi Flyway.
Osborne also discusses the impact of harvesting adult and hen mallards during down population years and a need to reassess Adaptive Harvest Management (AHM) and its ability to set appropriate season frameworks.
It's a great listen for anyone wondering where the ducks are and how the population gets rebuilt to that magical 10 million mallards number.
