On this episode of the Arkansas Wildlife podcast, your host, Trey Reid, sits down with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's Wetlands Program Coordinator Jason "Buck" Jackson to talk about the habitat work the AGFC is doing on moist soil units and green tree reservoirs across Arkansas.

On November 25th a coalition of extreme anti-hunting advocates (Center for Biological Diversity, Sierra Club Grand Canyon Chapter, Mountain Lion Foundation, WildEarth Guardians, Lobos of the Southwest, and Wildlife for All) petitioned the Arizona Game and Fish Commission to ban the use of dogs to hunt mountain lions, bobcats, black bears, foxes, coyotes, raccoons, otters, beavers, coatis, ringtails, squirrels, and rabbits. Although the commission may be obligated to put the request on their agenda, they are not obligated to vote one way or the other on it. These extreme advocate groups have used similar tactics in other western states, beginning with efforts at the commission level that lay the groundwork for a public ballot initiative like we saw this year in Colorado Go to Howl For Wildlife to find out more and how to get involved

Once upon a time, Stuttgart, Arkansas was the Rice and Duck Capital of the world, and--for sure--duck hunting traditions remain interwoven into Arkansas's cultural identity. Especially green headed ducks. Mallards. But continental mallard populations have declined 50% during the last decade or so. What now? Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's Wildlife Management Division Chief, Luke Naylor explains the then versus now of Arkansas duck hunting. The numbers are sobering. We discuss habitat, mallard harvests, waterfowl harvests relative to the Mississippi Flyway and entire United States, sex ratios, habitat conditions, social and economical values, changes, reasons for declines--and more. Times have changed, for sure, but you'll have a darned hard time convincing me that Arkansas doesn't still have claim to it's lofty, long-standing title.

On this episode of the Arkansas Wildlife Podcast Trey Reid sits down with Arkansas Game and Fish Commission future Boating Law Administrator Corporal Sydney Grant to talk about boating safety. 

In our previous episode, our guest Kip Adams talked about the need for hunters to shoot more deer in many areas of the country, and one of the obstacles hunters face is not needing additional venison for themselves. We invited Jeremy Brown from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and Ronnie Ritter from Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry to talk about their unique venison snack stick program and how the state's Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) is helping. In some areas of the country, one in four households struggle with food insecurity, which is a startling statistic. All of us can work together to harvest more deer and get donated venison into the hands of the families that need it most. This unique program in Arkansas is setting a fine example for others to follow.   Episode Sponsor: PH Outdoors   Important Links Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry Arkansas Game and Fish Commission DMAP Follow Nick Pinizzotto on Instagram Follow Mike Groman on Instagram Music by Bensound   Subscribe to the Podcast on: Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Spotify iHeartRadio Stitcher   About the National Deer Association The National Deer Association (NDA) is a non-profit deer conservation group that works to ensure the future of wild deer, wildlife habitat and hunting.

This week, we discuss how the Arizona Game and Fish Commission just voted to cancel its auction permits, which had previously raised millions of dollars for conservation. In addition to that, we touch on a few headlines and legislative updates. In Montana, a bill from the last legislative session is still in the air. SB442 is in headlines again, as the mail-out ballots are being sent out to determine whether the Governor's veto can be overridden. The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership recently published some highlights and disappointments of recent congressional appropriations from the perspective of hunters and anglers. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Boone and Crocket Club's respective CEOs, Kyle Weaver and Tony Schoonen, recently wrote a joint op-ed in which they discussed their frustrations with environmental groups blocking forest management.

This week, we are discussing putting more animals on the mountain, with bighorn sheep in Montana as the main example. We will also briefly cover the following headlines. In Kentucky, a bill has passed out of Committee and to the Senate that could have significant consequences for the Kentucky Department of Wildlife Resources and, ultimately, the hunters and anglers in the state. The Arizona Game and Fish Commission is meeting today and potentially voting on whether or not to do away with their conservation permits. In Wyoming, the Game and Fish Commission just voted unanimously to pursue establishing protections for a pronghorn migration corridor. In Idaho, an effort has been made to pass a bill that would end the Open Fields Doctrine for conservation officers. This would essentially make it illegal for a game warden to check licenses or harvested animals on private land without a warrant. In Arizona, the Nature Conservancy recently received an 11.5 million dollar grant to purchase conservation easements in the Upper Verde River Watershed and Big Chino Grasslands.

Last year, the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission approved $17.5 million to begin research, development, and set-up for raising cool and warm water fish in Wyoming; the existing Speas Hatchery near Casper was selected for expansion. Walleye, Channel Catfish, Bluegill, White and Black Crappie, Largemouth Bass, Tiger Muskie, and Sauger will be produced there, enabling Game and Fish to produce a reliable and diverse supply of cool/warm water fish species for Wyoming's anglers and eliminating the potential of introducing an aquatic invasive species or prohibited fish pathogen into Wyoming.
