About this episode
Lorne Scott has spent a lifetime invested in conservation in Saskatchewan while seeing an inordinate amount of change on the landscape. The family has farmed in the Prairie Pothole Region since 1915 and has seen it all. Scott pulls back the curtain on Prairie Canada with eye-opening insights into what is going on north of the border. The guys discuss non-existent wetland policies in Saskatchewan, habitat deterioration, staggering bird loss, Big Ag, the decline in native Canadians' interest in waterfowl hunting, Americans, tariffs, and out-of-whack drake-to-hen ratios. Listeners will want to stick in until the end, when Lorne provides insights into current conditions right on time with the USFWS/CWS May Pond and BPOP counts underway.
