Willamette Valley Waterfowling Traditions, Habitat, Conservation","description":"After pouring post-hunt cups of hot coffee, Western Oregon Ducks Unlimited Biologist and lifelong Willamette Valley hunter, Kelly Warren, provides an insightful, been-there-done-that tour of Oregon duck hunting traditions and ongoing conservation sustaining them. Explaining how his grandfather's duck-blind lessons ignited his interests, he talks about what Alaska banding seasons taught him about waterfowl and migrations, how-private lands partnerships anchor Pacific Flyway waterfowl habitat, Willamette valley restoration wins, coastal wetland habitat insights, Dusky Canada and myriad other cackler and honker species that overwinter in Oregon--he wrote the Identification Field Guide to the Geese of the Willamette Valley and Lower Columbia River, by the way--limiting, water-related pressure on Oregon waterfowl, diversity of waterfowl and other game bird species that define hunting experiences in this amazing landscape. Warren's hunter-biologist's clear-eyed take on turning ideas into habitat, measuring successes years later and building a conservation legacy for future generations is worth hearing. Guaranteed his grandfather'd be proud.   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO\u2019s Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 to save 25% Sitka Gear SoundGear Use code GetDucks20 to save 25% Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?
