EP 372. The Pintail Paradox
These are interesting--and challenging--times. \xa0Especially for northern pintails and us duck hunters that hold these sprig-tailed, chocolate-headed beauties in high regard. On the one hand, science now demonstrates unequivocally that a 3-pintail bag limit will not affect pintail populations---and might be forthcoming in upcoming seasons! \xa0On the other hand, the continental pintail population is perilously close to the threshold below which there will be no hunting them at all in the Lower 48! Mitch Weegman is a young, savvy avian ecologist at University of Saskatoon that began researching waterfowl at a much, much younger age. Weegman walks us through the daunting pintail puzzle pieces, dispelling common pintail myths and offering a possible glimmer of hope. \xa0
