American Waterfowler Magazine Volume VIII, Issue I Zurück Ausgabe

Waterfowlers are adjusting to wetter, warmer weather, and our top two features focus on its affects in the far ends of the flyway, northern Canada and the southern U.S. First, Gary Zahm takes us to the rice fields of Arkansas in peak season to witness not just great mallard hunting, but a a diverse mix of ducks and geese that call the grand praire home. Next, Jack Hirt fights the mud and rain on a Sasktachewan roller coaster, inviting some wild surprises!

Nobody gets left behind in Mike Marsh’s piece on public land draw hunts, where hunters feel like king-for-a-day on their own piece of duck heaven. Meanwhile, see what can happen when duck-hunting girlfriends turn into wives. No a pretty tale, but a funny one!

Also, AW takes a look at the Flyways, and what we know today about duck migrations and movements, while Ron Peach shows you another sweet Smart Money destination: Washington’s Puget Sound. Finally, don’t miss the best new boats! They’re all covered in our 2017 review of Boats That Hunt.
