Very Interesting….

We often hear that duck season ends too early, especially when hunters see a surge of ducks in February and assume new birds have arrived. In reality, most of those ducks have been here all winter; they’re simply redistributing into areas that were risky or disturbed during the season. The drake in the map below spent late January constrained by open water and hunting pressure, returning to the refuge daily. During the first week of February, he began exploring more, and by February 7th, he stopped using the refuge altogether and shifted to hunted properties to build reserves for migration. We captured him in mid-November in the same area where he wintered, yet he didn’t spend multiple consecutive days off the refuge until a week after the season closed. Our GPS data show this pattern across the entire cohort: ducks need 5–7 days to break out of their hunting-season behavior, and short temporal closures (noon, 1 PM, 3 PM, or 1–2 off days) don’t meaningfully change habitat use. Resting properties for multiple consecutive days and rotating pressure can make a real difference.

Would you squeeze one off for this bull?! Riding the mountain roads in Idaho glassing for Elk, we ran up on (literally) this +-460” Bull at Broadmouth Canyon Ranch. Three of our members went for a mix of Mule Deer, Elk, and Bison (American Buffalo).
