Ep. 427 – Plummeting Temps in Prairie Canada to Freeze Wetlands and Trigger Migration

With subfreezing temperatures and wintery weather descending across the Mid-Continent, the 2022 duck season is quickly closing for hunters in the U.S. and Canadian prairies as wetlands freeze and birds make major moves southward. In this episode, Dr. Scott Stephens gives an update on the likely effect of this early November weather system and recaps what was a largely successful hunting season on the prairies. We close with a discussion of Scott’s newfound decoy tactic…the song dog displacement.
