Show Notes
Dr. Scott Stephens joins Dr. Mike Brasher and Chris Jennings to reflect on the recently released BPOP Survey Results. After revisiting earlier predictions for the spring BPOP estimate, which were quite wrong, the discussion turns to habitat conditions, population trends, favorable results from the Eastern Survey Area, and the North Dakota brood survey. In closing, Dr. Stephens leaves us with sage advice given the low BPOP results..."Life is Short, You Better Hunt!"
