About this episode

The episode discusses the historical context of market hunting and its implications on conservation and regulations, concluding with a trivia finale.

This week on the Midwest Flyways Podcast, the crew tackles one of the most interesting "what would you do?" questions in waterfowl history: market hunting. Rather than looking at it through today's lens, they discuss what it must have been like for hunters whose entire livelihood disappeared when new conservation laws changed duck hunting forever.The guys also discuss how those same debates over conservation, regulations, and personal freedoms still exist in different forms today.Then, Joey, Cal, and Carter close out the final Say What?! of the season. The championship comes down to the wire with trivia covering snow geese, Jack Miner, duck stamp history, and crazy duck stories.Topics Covered:•The history of market hunting•The Migratory Bird Treaty Act•Why market hunters kept hunting•Early waterfowl conservation•Historic game warden stories•Say What?!
