Duck Season Somewhere


Nov 28, 2022

Long before the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, a former market hunter named Jack Miner was the very first person in Canada--and likely anywhere in North America--to attach metal leg bands to migratory waterfowl. And the leg bands he attached to his "flying preachers" were very unique. Known as Wild Goose Jack, many famous American celebrities were among his closest associates. But who was Jack Miner really? Have you ever even heard of him? What did he mean especially to locals in the southernmost portion of Canada and to the conservation movement in general? What's becoming of his legacy in this modern era? In candid conversations with local hunters, foundation board members and long-time staff, the Jack Miner legend is explored in-depth. Whether your lanyard carries a few highly collectible Miner bands or you've never before heard Jack Miner, here's an episode that you'll definitely want to hear and share with friends!
