RELOADED EP230 - Waterfowl Harvest Management Series, Part 13: Remembering The Point System
About this episode
The episode discusses the historical point system used in waterfowl harvest management and its implications.
Mathematics was once a required practice in the duck blind, courtesy of the point system of the 70s and 80s. Dr. Jim Dubovsky, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service central flyway representative, joins Dr. Mike Brasher for a trip down memory lane to discuss the origination, objectives, implementation, and critiques of the old point system, a once common regulatory alternative for duck harvest. Although liked and enjoyed by managers and hunters alike, it wasn’t without its challenges.
