Delta Waterfowl’s University Hunting Program Delivers Record-Setting Year

UHP teaches the importance of hunting to wildlife management students at 103 colleges across North America

Throughout the 2023-2024 school year, Delta Waterfowl’s University Hunting Program spanned the continent from the University of Northern British Columbia to Maryland’s Bowie State University down to the University of Florida and Texas A&M, and 99 more schools. Delta’s UHP continued its trend of rapid growth since its formal inception in 2017, achieving a record of 103 universities this year, with a total of 447 students in the program.

During the past 25 years, the backgrounds of most college students seeking degrees in wildlife management and biology have shifted. Previously, the majority of students seeking those degrees grew up in hunting and fishing families, or at a minimum, had exposure to outdoor pursuits. Today, however, it’s estimated that 70% of students pursuing these career paths have little or no prior exposure to hunting. Read more

California Gets $1.28 Million to Support Elk, Wildlife Habitat, Hunting Heritage Efforts

Help is on the way to bolster habitat for elk, mule deer, black bears, turkey, quail and other wildlife in California.

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and its partners allocated $1,283,263 for 20 different projects ranging from habitat stewardship and wildlife management work to hunter education and mentored youth hunts, as well as youth trap shooting, air rifle and archery teams. RMEF allocated $331,132 that leveraged $952,131 in partner funding.

One of them places GPS collars on tule elk to monitor their movement and challenges with road barriers north of Sacramento,” said Blake Henning, RMEF chief conservation officer. “The other focuses on bull elk population dynamics, habitat use, migration corridors and survival in northern California just south of the Oregon border.” Read more

Late Winter Mallard Estimates Remain Lowest in 15 Years

In the final aerial survey of the 2023-24 waterfowl season, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission biologists estimated a Delta mallard population that was more than a half-million mallards below the 2009-2024 late January long-term average and the lowest late January survey estimate on record since the 2010 start of transect-based surveys. Also, total duck population estimates were nearly 480,000 birds below the long-term average, largely due to the low number of mallards.

On average, mallards account for about 55 percent of all ducks in the Delta during late January surveys. During this survey period, however, mallards made up only 33 percent of the total duck estimate. Read more
