The Standard Sportsman podcast is surveying listeners across the Central and Mississippi flyways to learn about duck hunting conditions across the region.
“The survey is an informal effort to gather hunter input up and down the Central and Mississippi flyways and produce some organized results to evaluate and discuss,” podcast host and Greenhead editor Brent Birch said. “There are so many theories as to why duck hunting has taken a downturn and even more as to how it gets fixed. If anything else, the survey will start more conversations and awareness to where we are within the sport, not only with populations and habitat but also culturally.”
Survey respondents will be asked about how long they’ve been duck hunting, how often they hunt during the season, what they do with the ducks they harvest and where they hunt, among other things.
Participants who share a legitimate email address in the survey will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a signed and numbered 16-inch by 20-inch poster of the cover art of “The Grand Prairie: A History of Duck Hunting’s Hallowed Ground,” by Birch and contributors Jeff Churan, John Gordon and Dwain Hebda. Ten winners will be selected.
The survey is open through Feb. 28, and is not limited to Arkansans. Answer the survey here.
