*SPECIAL* Flying Blind: Waterfowl Science & Management At Risk
Duck Season Somewhere
Today's special topic cuts deeper than science or partisan politics---it defends North American duck hunting's essential back bone, wetland health and abundance, continued public land access, and our legacy to future duck hunting generations. Right now, powerful forces are dismantling the foundations of North America's greatest success story--waterfowl hunting as you've known it your entire life. Most have scarcely even noticed.

EP 573. Making the Most of Mazatlan
Duck Season Somewhere
This past year was drier in Mazatlan, Mexico than it's been since 1964! Needless to say that with less water on the landscape there were fewer ducks. Given advanced notice, most guests came anyway and even had a great time. Because it's a total-experience adventure. While seasons come and go, today's guest made the absolute most of their Mazatlan duck hunting vacation, bringing home both bucket-list species and memories for a lifetime. Better believe that I was sure taking notes for future visits! Related Link: Visit MOJO’s Duck Season Somewhere...
info_outlineGoose hunting has been a pretty big deal on Maryland's eastern Shore since forever, and John Taylor's introductions began when first shaking hands with his high school sweetheart's dad. Cutting his teeth back in the days of "junk yard rigs," he remembers laying out a small fortune for a newfangled Eastern Shoreman goose call, later saying that "the Moratorium (the 6-year period that Canada goose hunting was closed) was the best thing that ever happened." Because that's when he earned his real PhD in Canada goose behavior. A storyteller from the get-go, Taylor colorfully recalls an Eastern Shore goose hunting lifetime from student to mentor. And then some.
