I still believe they are inaccurate studies  :twocents:

Every species with the exception of Pintails and Scaups and Black ducks is above population goals listed by the dept. Pintails and Black ducks have been in a decline since the 1950's. If I remember correctly there are more ducks now than there has been in basically a hundred years. They hit an all time high in about 2014-2015.   :dunno: Everything's fine...

Weather patterns and agricultural changes are what causes the majority of hunters to assume there are less birds come autumn. That is true, just in your weathered old spot.

Market hunting about destroyed the waterfowl population about 100 years ago. Today is about lost habitat and methods to develop and farm are much better today.  Everything is fine we would not see these types of losses consistently over this period of almost 10 years.  Hope your right but facts are not on our side atm for sure.

I responded to a Delta mass email basically asking if the record Canadian wildfires have had any or no impact on breeding duck populations and this was their answer!

“Hello, Delta Waterfowl’s science team doesn’t identify the fires as a concern for ducks and has not heard anyone raise the issue either. The ducks use a different habitat type, so this likely didn’t impact ducks substantially.”
 
Thank You,
