The 2026 Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey is out!

The time has come — 2026 breeding population survey results are out!

According to the USFWS Annual Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey, this year's estimated breeding duck population is 33.44 million, a 2% decline from last year and 6% below the long-term average dating back to 1955. The report shows that while dabbling duck populations have decreased, diving duck populations have increased over the past year.

Total pond counts increased 14% from 2025, notably 29% in Canada; however, U.S. wetlands were down 10%.

The Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey and the Waterfowl Status Report are the result of a collaborative effort conducted annually by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Canadian Wildlife Service, and the Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, and Pacific Flyway Councils.

This report is presented by our friends at Jahpoo.

What a night on the water! Easily some of the hottest fishing action I’ve seen in a couple of years. You know it’s a good night when the bite is so non-stop you barely have time to snap a pic.

​If anyone is heading out to Pigeon tomorrow, make sure you bring plenty of bait, you’re gonna need it! 🎣🔥

Thanks for having us there to showcase and demo our Beretta, Benelli, and Franchi shotguns. There's not many places you can shoot the newest models of shotguns and try them out before buying them.

It was great to catch up with so many folks I haven't seen in way too long. Jill Frederick Brad Fenson Samuel Bowen Richard Mellon Mark DesRoches Josh Luedtke Tyler Riewe Steph Briggs Ralph Luedtke Sandra Mellon

It's a sad morning today. The news we didnt want to hear the past couple days is official. Nims Purja has passed.

For those who don't know who Nims was please take the time to read the below post that my buddy TJ wrote and watch the documentary "14 Peaks - Nothing is Impossible."

Even if you aren't a mountain climber Nims touched the hearts and minds of so many. Nims was a mentor and humantarian like no other.

When you think you can't accomplish something, you need to take a look through Nims eyes. "Nothing is Impossible."

RIP Nims Purja

If you haven't seen the movie 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible, watch it. It documents the journey of a young Nepalese climber, Nirmal Purja, to climb all of the world's 14 highest peaks with an altitude greater than 8,000 metres (26,247 ft) in less than 7 months (one climbing season). The actual climbing took 6 months and 6 days between April 2019 to October 2019. He was a superman in the world of climbing. But the movie and his life are about much more than climbing. He inspired millions of people around the world to follow their dreams and to believe that anything was possible. He was about much more than climbing.

I'd never heard of Nims prior to the movie, as most people outside serious climbing circles hadn't, but after watching the movie I followed him closely. In this messed-up world, he was a breath of fresh air. He was a regular guy who did superhuman things. He made people believe they could do the same.

Nims and 9 other climbers lost their lives in an avalanche this week in Pakistan. The "he died doing what he loved" cliché is understandably being bandied about, and I guess in some ways he did. He unquestionably knew the risks and accepted them. To live life that large comes with risks, and it's a good reminder to all that living life has a cost.

The news of his death has hit me hard, not because I knew him but because it really points out that life is fragile, even for Superman. None of us make it out of this world alive, and the most we can hope is to live a life worth living and to leave a legacy that inspires others to do the same. RIP, Nirmal Purja
