Waterfowl Hunting

The warmer than normal temperatures and dry conditions have had an adverse affect on duck, pheasant, goose and grouse hunting in Central Minnesota. That according to Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News. He joined me on WJON this week.

The early teal hunt concluded Wednesday and the goose hunt is underway in Minnesota. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON. He says the early teal hunt from September 3-7 saw an increase in hunters and success for those hunters this year as opposed to last year.

Last August Central Minnesota was dealing with severe drought conditions. Those conditions made it difficult for the habitat of waterfowl in Minnesota. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON. The DNR does estimations on breeding duck populations and Schmitt says results show numbers are down a bit this year.
