Things get serious as Dr. Richard Kaminski and Ramsey, his former student, address the question, "What happened to US duck hunting in the 25 years?" First discussing recent research pertaining to winter duck abundance and temperature trends in the Mississippi and Atlantic flyways, they move on to waterfowl habitat quality and quantity, preserving remaining wetlands, hunting pressure and game farm genetic influences. Now "retired," but far from actually retired, Kaminski emphasizes the role of people as action points, offering sage words of wisdom to those considering waterfowl management careers.    Podcast Sponsors: BOSS Shotshells Benelli Shotguns Tetra Hearing Kanati Waterfowl Taxidermy Mojo Outdoors Tom Beckbe Flash Back Decoys Voormi GetDucks USHuntList   It really is duck season somewhere for 365 days per year.

A self-started Wisconsin duck hunter, Dr. Richard Kaminski left dental school to "study ducks." And study ducks he did--for about a half-century. Beginning with graduate research studies at Delta Marsh, ending recently as Director of James C. Kennedy Waterfowl and Wetlands Conservation Center, leaving in his wake numerous waterfowl biologists among state, federal and non-governmental organizations integral to delivering the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. Between cups of coffee nd black lab fetches, he and Ramsey discuss the previous night's family duck recipe and Kaminski's duck hunting origins before slogging headlong into waterfowl-related topics researched extensively during his career: hemi-marsh, moist-soil management, soybean nutrition, forested wetlands, habitat complexes and more. Until Ramsey finally asks, "What happened to US duck hunting in the 25 years since I last attended your classroom?!"    Podcast Sponsors: BOSS Shotshells Benelli Shotguns Tetra Hearing Kanati Waterfowl Taxidermy Mojo Outdoors Tom Beckbe Flash Back Decoys Voormi GetDucks USHuntList   It really is duck season somewhere for 365 days per year.

Going into Father's Day weekend, Ramsey is joined by father-daughter hunting buddies Chris and Grace Nicolai for a truly memorable conversation about spending quality t-I-m-e with your mini-me's. How old was Grace when did Chris start taking his daughters afield? How many goose species has Grace killed with a 410-shotgun? How many states has she hunted, how many species has she bagged--and what's on her wish list? What else in waterfowling has hunting with ol" Dad inspired her to do? Any special challenges or considerations over the years? How is taking daughters different than taking sons--or is it? This fantastic episode is proof that your best hunting partners are the ones you raise. Enjoy.

In this week's episode of We Love Outdoors with Rich Davenport, your humble host breaks down the anti-gun laws recently signed into law after the state legislature passed a series of pre-written, law-abiding punishing gun laws, just waiting for another tragic criminal event to use as the crisis to capitalize upon. One of the new laws requires a license top purchase and possess any semi-automatic rifle, not just the scary-looking ones, and to get the permit, you need to be age 21. DEC has issued some clarification to hunters educators, and we can expect more clarifications in the coming weeks and months, along with lawsuits over this latest attack on our God-given rights. The legislature also passed the county opt out bills pertaining to the Holiday Hunt, but that has yet to be signed. I believe all hunters should contact the governor and urge she veto this legislation. The statewide lead ammo ban also appears to have died in the Senate, but Jekyll and Hyde Commissioner Seggos recently endorsed the lead ammo bad, across NYS, despite zero science behind the move. Legislative session ended June 2, thankfully. New session doesn't happen until January, with hopefully a brand new senate under GOP control to get balance back to NYS. Several dates of importance coming up, including NYS opening of bass season, Great Lakes musky season, as they both open June 15. Family Fishing clinics are also coming up, timed with the free fishing weekend in NY, June 25-26. ECFSC holds a clinic at Chestnut Ridge Park, and the East Side Angling Assn holds free fishing days at Broderick Park, foot of Ferry St., Buffalo NY on both the 25th and 26th. Events are free to all to attend. SWA Walleye Derby is now on and runs through June 19. July 11 is the NYSCC Golf Tournament, deadline to sign up is July 1 July 12 - CAWTILE informational meeting at SWA Clubhouse on Southwestern Blvd, Hamburg, special guest State Senator George Borrello will be on hand to discuss Lake Erie Wind Turbines. And the Region 9 Waterfowl task force submitted a report to the WNYEF that really spells out the problems with waterfowl hunting in NY in a nutshell. This season and next round out the 5-year SDM experiment, but we must wait until the 2024/ 25 seasons for relief. While lead ammo may still be used in NY (for now) USF&W has proposed regulation to phase out lead ammo on federal refuges, which NSSF has lodged a strong objection to as without merit nd devoid of science. Truly is. Comment period for that proposed federal rule ends August 8, 2022. And the renewable energy front, the reality of electric vehicles is discussed, factors no one is talking about, but better be thought of and fast. After all, when all the negatives are weighed it becomes self-evident the attack on gasoline and diesel is an attack on our liberty that affordable, effective energy delivers. This is why they wish to move from gasoline stored in tanks to electric that can be controlled by government. Nothing to do with saving the planet. And finally, a 2050-foot armor stone berm is needed to protect the 5 turbines of Steel Winds II from storm damage from Lake Erie. According to DEC, the facility is being damaged by seiches and ice shoves, impacting the access road and causing harm to the turbine foundations. If turbines on shore cannot be protected from Lake Erie storms without a rock wall, how will they protect 50 offshore turbines from the wave energy and ice? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rich-davenport/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rich-davenport/support

Originating in enslaved people's meager personal belongings when brought to South Carolina's remote coastal plains during the 1600s, the long grains eventually became "Carolina Gold," spawning an affluent rice producing culture that provided most of the world supply for over 2 centuries. It ended soon after the Civil War. But as author Virginia Christian Beach and Ramsey Russell discuss, the real story of South Carolina's historically glorious rice culture is the enduring land ethic and the colorful cast of characters that made it happen--especially duck hunters.     Related Links: Rice & Ducks: The Surprising Convergence that Saved the Carolina Lowcountry   Podcast Sponsors: BOSS Shotshells Benelli Shotguns Tetra Hearing Kanati Waterfowl Taxidermy Mojo Outdoors Tom Beckbe Flash Back Decoys Voormi GetDucks USHuntList   It really is duck season somewhere for 365 days per year.

DU Podcast host, Katie Burke, chats with the President of the North American Decoy Collectors Association, Rick Sandstrom. The pair met up in Chicago to discuss the show and auction. They talk about the importance of the show and what it means to the decoy collecting community. How the absence of the show over the past years has had an impact on the community and it's return this year.

Meaningful waterfowl conservation comes in many forms. A life-long Louisiana duck hunter, Paul Dickson's backyard waterfowl aviary seems like a naturally compatible hobby, but eventually evolved into something more. Much, much more. Pinola Conservancy is the largest waterfowl aviary in the United States. Privately owned and closed to the public, this aviary is home to hundreds of bird species from all corners of the globe, from critically endangered to common.  Myriad ongoing research projects are the tip of the iceberg. Surplus birds are distributed to qualified institutions and zoological parks where in the future some species, such as Baer's Pochard, might only exist due to habitat loss.  How'd Dickson get started? When did it become more than a hobby, and what greater purposes does it now facilitate? How many waterfowl species are at Pinola Conservancy? What species are among the rarest or most endangered? Is it difficult raising all of these species in Louisiana, and how does he ensure they breed during Louisiana's winter months? Does he have any personal favorites? What research projects are ongoing? What are some other cool things Ramsey learned during a brief tour?  Pinola Conservancy is a beacon of hope in a rapidly changing global landscape. Your inner bird-nerd is going to be unleashed listening.

Smiling faces. Barbeque grills overflowing with hot dogs and hamburgers. Pool parties with friends and family. A pleasant boat ride around the lake. These are the scenes of Memorial Day, celebrated every May on the month's final Monday. It's a three-day weekend, school is out, summer begins, good times in the sun are ahead. But we can't forget what's behind this day. The name itself tells the tale, memorial signifying recognition of meritorious service. Another word comes to mind immediately though, sacrifice. Memorial Day signifies a day of remembrance for the fallen in wars throughout history around the globe. At Ducks Unlimited, we urge everyone to take a moment this weekend to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day and give thanks to those who gave everything so we could live in a country where freedom is enjoyed and not wished for.        Thanks to all of you for supporting Ducks Unlimited's wetlands conservation mission. And thank you to those brave souls who embraced their call to duty and made the ultimate sacrifice. As you spend time in the outdoors this weekend, think about the fact that it's all possible because someone's courageous act ensured our freedoms. From all of the staff and volunteers at Ducks Unlimited, Happy Memorial Day and thanks to everyone who has served and continues to serve our great nation.

It's been a long while since Ramsey and today's guest, Brian Davis, attended Mississippi State University together. Davis earned master's and PhD degrees studying breeding and brood rearing wood ducks and other aspects of wood duck ecology.  Now an Associate Professor of Wildlife Ecology at MSU, Davis describes his duck hunting origins before pitching into wood duck predation (you ain't going to believe it), other interesting findings such as "legacy lead" in various habitats and how the wildlife-related student body has evolved since Ramsey roamed his alma mater's hallways. Davis is an extremely entertaining and well-informed storyteller. Y'all are absolutely going to love this episode---and will be left wondering how in the world wood ducks continue to even exist with so many different mouths to feed!   Related Links: Mississippi State University, James C.

On this episode Nate and Garrett sit down and pretty much reminisce on the good ole days when we were still in hunting season. This hot weather, high priced gas, and off season is hitting us hard as usual. Just like every year, once turkey season ends we both can't wait to get back after the geese....but we still have to get through the summer first.

Dr. Dave Stallknecht, director of the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study, provides an in-depth description of the current outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. How did we get here, and what are the risks to ducks and geese, poultry, humans, hunters, dogs, and other birds?

A sub-gauge revolution is sweeping across the country as more waterfowl hunters are reinventing their game, swinging 20- and 28-gauge shotguns instead of their trusty ol' 12. George Thompson, Director of Product Management for Benelli, tells Ramsey about adding 28-gauge to the successful Super Black Eagle platform, covering a range of other Benelli-related innovations. Where'd the philosophy "carry a 20-gauge but shoulder a 12-gauge" originate? Why'd they choose 28-gauge and what were some of the challenges--and will there be a .410? What are some of the subtle differences between SBE and Ethos shotguns, and how has the 28-gauge been received by customers?  Will the proprietary Benelli Surface Treatment be available in other colors? What makes the 828 U Over-under shotgun unique? How have "performance shop" Benelli shotguns been modified, and why? Whether you're a long-time Benelli shooter or just looking to make a well-informed decision about your next shotgun purchase, you'll enjoy this highly informative episode.  Podcast Sponsors: BOSS Shotshells Benelli Shotguns Tetra Hearing Kanati Waterfowl Taxidermy Mojo Outdoors Tom Beckbe Flash Back Decoys Voormi GetDucks USHuntList   It really is duck season somewhere for 365 days per year.
