Ep. 503 – Bonus: Great Lakes Region Teal and Early-Goose Update Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

Host Chris Jennings is joined by Jay Anglin, Great Lakes Region Migration Editor for ducks.org, to discuss habitat conditions in and around the Great Lakes Region. Anglin describes dry, hot conditions throughout much of the area, but notes that there are some highlights in quality habitat and a cool front pushing through later this week. An early cool front, combined with last week’s full moon may have hurt some teal hunters in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, but the next front could bring additional bluewings to traditional migration corridors. Anglin also notes that the early Canada goose seasons in the region should be a highlight as some fields are being cut and there appears to be a strong molt migration returning to areas of Michigan, northern Indiana, and parts of Wisconsin.
