In this episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast, host Matt Wyatt welcomes back Houston Havens, MDWFP Waterfowl Program Coordinator, for a deep dive into duck migration, breeding grounds, habitat management, and what really affects duck populations each season. From frozen Delta water to ducks migrating thousands of miles to the prairie pothole regions of Canada, Houston explains how weather, habitat, and private landowners shape the future of Mississippi duck hunting. This episode offers a full-season recap, insight into the science behind duck bands, and the crucial role of landowner partnerships in sustaining healthy waterfowl populations.
