Episode 548 – Conservation in Big Beautiful Bill, duck forecast, WI farm deer, wolf commentary
Managing Editor Rob Drieslein and Editor Tim Spielman discuss a multitude of topics to start the show including a lake access closed down thanks to a few bad apples. Then Andrew Schmidt, a government affairs guru from Pheasants Forever, joins the program to talk about some good news for conservation that came out of the big congressional budget reconciliation bill last week. Longtime friend of the program, John Devney from Delta Waterfowl, visits to share updates on the status of duck numbers across the north-central portion of the continent this year (it’s not good) plus his thoughts on snow goose and trumpeter swan management. Tim Lesmeister helps wrap up the chatter breaking down the big story in Wisconsin of a game farm buck that someone tried to declare a nontypical record, plus the compelling commentary from the guys at the Voyageurs Wolf Project.
