Each spring, official waterfowl surveys help shape the outlook for duck seasons across North America—but at Delta Waterfowl, we don’t wait for reports. Our teams are on the ground year-round across the Prairie Pothole Region, tracking habitat conditions, weather patterns, and wetland health long before the data is released. In this episode, host Joel Brice sits down with Delta Waterfowl Programs Directors Matt Chouinard and Mike Buxton to break down what they’re seeing—and hearing—across the breeding grounds heading into the 2026 season. If you care about duck numbers, habitat conditions, and the future of waterfowl hunting… this is one you need to hear.

Welcome back to another episode of Delta Waterfowl’s The Voice of the Duck Hunter. Two retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service special agents join us for a powerful and eye-opening conversation. Rich Grosz — one of our most requested guests — returns, and this time he’s joined by his longtime colleague and friend Jay Pilgrim. In this episode, we dive deeper into one of the most controversial and commonly misunderstood violations in waterfowl hunting: baiting. How do federal agents detect it? What really counts as baiting? And how do good hunters sometimes find themselves in serious trouble? Rich and Jay share firsthand stories from decades in the field enforcing federal waterfowl laws, along with lessons every duck hunter should understand before stepping into the blind. If you care about ethical hunting and protecting the future of waterfowl, this is a must-watch episode.
