I've been busy on other sites and behind the scenes trying to get to the bottom of this migration issue, and I think the tide my be turning, ever so slightly. I found out a lot of interesting stuff, and know big money is in the way.
OVER Commercialization of waterfowl hunting is our biggest obstacle. I liken it to welfare, though it may be easier to adjust.
This is a bit lengthy but a good read, if you have the time. Funny how these things get squashed from the public viewing. Maybe I missed it, but I don't ever remember seeing this published in hunting articles. It was conducted on mallards, but I'm sure it translates to other dabblers as well. We were covered up with GW this year, all season. I'm guessing they're too short to reach the corn on the cob.
