Wading into The Corn Maze","description":"Slower-than-hoped for duck seasons make for tough post-season social media discussions among duck hunters. Some says it's flooded corn further north of them. Others say there's other death-by-a-thousand-cut reasons. And since it's sometimes hard--and exhausting-- to make sense of my-way-or-the-highway arguing online, why not let listeners hear varied perspectives? Decide for themselves. Everyone was invited. Some declined. Today's guests include: Natalie Krebs, an Outdoor Life reporter that responded to Sen. Kennedy's letter with some deep-dive research; Hunter Lemoine, a Louisiana duck hunter that wants to improve duck hunting in his home state and is doing something about it; Dr. Bradley Cohen, a waterfowl research scientist that knows a thing or 3 about migratory habits and corn's local influence; Bill Cooksey, a former National Wildlife Federation employee that worked on the Vanishing Paradise initiative; and Brad Bortner, a former chief of migratory birds that sheds light on what the proposed corn study could possibly look like from a federal agency perspective. No shouting. No arguing. Just fellow duck hunters sharing their in-the-know insights.   ********** Read Outdoor Life Article: Has Hot Cropping Ruined Duck Hunting?
