Dr. Mike Brasher visits with Virginia Getz, DU’s director of conservation programs for CA, NV, AZ, and HI, to recap the erratic weather and hunting success across California. Significant rain in Oct and Dec brought relief from drought and created abundant waterfowl habitat. While good for birds, hunting success was mixed, with a feeling that neither birds nor hunters could find their normal “rhythm.” We now hope for more rain and mountain snow to improve breeding conditions.
