Ep. 217 Waterfowl Harvest Management Series, Part 8: Adapting to Change, 1970s to the 1990s
The ideas of \u201cfair\u201d and \u201cequitable\u201d in harvest distribution have been a challenging undercurrent for regulatory decisions over the years. Dale Humburg and Ken Babcock join the DU Podcast one last time to discuss zones and splits, \u201cshortstopping\u201d in geese, the frustration it caused, and how managers tried to adapt. Also discussed are lead poisoning, non-toxic shot regulations, and the birth of Adaptive Harvest Management, each of which brought their own need for adaptation. www.ducks.org/DUPodcast
