Drouth Blamed For Fewer Ducks In 1962 Outlook
The U S Bureau of Sports Fisheries and Wildlife warns drought reduces the continental duck population. Breeding numbers are at their lowest since 1951 with a 27 percent drop in northern breeding areas. Mallards down 12 percent and pintails down 28 percent from 1951. Southern prairie provinces seldom compensate for northern losses. July aerial nesting surveys will guide fall hunting regulations.
