American Waterfowler Magazine Volume VI, Issue II Vorige editie

The June/July issue is packed with things you won’t find or read anywhere else. For instance: Duck vision! A team of researchers set out to find out if duck decoys painted with Ultraviolet (UV) paint did a better job of attracting birds than those without the paint. They knew going in that the UV spectrum was an important communication tool for birds, but they were to find out if it could also help hunters.
Or, how about the hot-potato topic called climate change? We report what scientists are predicting might happen to ducks and duck habitat in the coming decades. Hey, don’t blame us, we’re just the reporters.
Plus, Robert Milner helps us through some important dog training regimens, Michael Hungle wonders why more people don’t set decoys the night before a hunt and David Rearick explains every nook and cranny of a duck boat by naming its parts.
Not to be missed, Jarrod Spilger takes a look at shotguns for southpaws while Jim Dougherty bemuses about his best hunt by far last season in the PotShots column.
An array of feature hunting articles will inform you about such things as the strange hunting spectacle called Body Booting, the best way to get youth ready for opener an impromptu hunt that harnesses some late-season stamina.
