American Waterfowler Magazine Volume XI, Issue I Retour à l'édition précédente

A primer for the 2020 season to come, this issue kicks off with an awesome Boat Buyer’s Guide by David Rearick, revealing the newest duck-specific models from bow to stern. Thinking about a new pup but don’t know how to pick one? Trainer Robert Milner offers advice on getting the dog that’s right for you! Want inside info on some of the best shotshells out there? Our shtoshells ballistics guru Tom Roster gives his test results on all of Hevi-Shot’s newest nontoxic products—hint, there’s a bunch to choose from.
What a past year it was! After last season, you might just think you’ve seen it all, but writer Jack Hirt disagrees, claiming that’s not possible. Jack says that “not having seen it all” is what keeps us coming back for more in his story “Madd, Madd World.” Jay Strangis takes us to the northern prairie to meet a surprisingly early October blizzard, and finds ducks in the process, while T.R. Hendrick takes a last stab at big-water ducks in one of the northeast’s biggest inland lakes.
Is timing your hunt becoming more and more a problem. Our Hunt Book lead piece, “Climate, Migration And Timing,” puts today’s waterfowl hunting challenges in perspective and makes some predictions in the process.
There’s much more including a great article on one of the waterfowl world’s hottest artists, an explanation on why waterfowl hunters count backwards along with a host of great photography. Read on in the April/May 2020 AW issue!
