Week 684: Pheasant Hunting Successes & Scares

On this week’s show, we’re talking pheasant hunting successes and scares with Jared Wiklund from Pheasants Forever. He talks about pheasant numbers across the Midwest and how hunters did on opening weekend, but also about how a TON of CRP land is in peril if a new Farm Bill doesn’t happen soon. Joe Henry talks about fish pictures and AI, and Bret & Dan start the show recapping another week of waterfowl hunting in Canada.
