In this episode of the Standard Sportsman podcast, hosts Brent Birch (also the editor of Greenhead) and Cason Short talk with Rob Olson about preserving the sport of waterfowling in Canada.
Canadian waterfowling finds itself at a pivotal moment. As more American hunters head north in search of ducks and geese, participation among Canadian residents continues to decline, raising questions about the future of the country’s hunting traditions.
Olson, a former leader with both Delta Waterfowl and the Manitoba Wildlife Federation, was at the forefront of efforts to establish safeguards in Manitoba before hunting pressure reached a tipping point. Now, he’s helping neighboring Saskatchewan navigate similar challenges as policymakers, hunters and conservationists work to protect Canada’s rich waterfowling heritage for future generations.
