Your podcast has great information, and I agree with your concerns. I’ve been hunting in Arkansas since 2004 and care deeply about the situation. I spend about two weeks each year in Arkansas hunting public land with my two sons, it’s some of the best times of our lives. I’m not an expert or biologist, just an observant person that cares and like to learn. I also like to solve problems, so I study a lot. Here is what I’ve noticed: Drought impacts the migration. God gave animals instincts we don’t have, somehow they know whether there will be water or not before they leave where they are. Maybe they can tell by the level of the Mississippi or other major rivers. If you look at the Arkansas waterfowl surveys from 2009 to present, you will see survey numbers altered when drought is high across the flyway. There are some years this isn’t true, but I think there may be more to how much drought impacts migration. We end up hunting “stale” birds, those that migrate because they are programmed to, and we hunt the heck out of them. I would be in favor of cutting the season and have more splits. Maybe the season should be open 2 weeks, closed 1 week through entire season. It doesn’t take birds long to figure out pressure, it takes the same amount of time to forget about pressure. Hunts are always best after the woods or field has rested for a few days. These are just my opinions based on observations and reading. Keep up the good work
