In this week’s episode of the Standard Sportsman podcast, hosts Brent Birch (also the editor of Greenhead) and Cason Short give a late spring update on breeding conditions and new hunting rules.
Planting season’s here, but so is a lingering drought that won’t let go. The guys talk tough conditions in the southern flyway, brighter signs from the breeding grounds and how it all ties together.
They also tackle the growing role of politics in wildlife decisions and walk through key 2026–2027 regulation changes, including a controversial non-resident ban at Dave Donaldson Black River WMA, plus a few notes from Kansas and Minnesota.
