how are canvasback numbers down nearly 50 percent? did i miss a major disease or virus/bacteria/poaching event? something seems flawed here....i guess i will have to read all 25 pages before i jump to any conclusions though!

Canvasback harvest limits were increased to two birds/hunter/day last year. They got worked over pretty good in the SE on the coast as well as late season in the power plant lakes full of hydrilla.

How are Scaup numbers up with the major die off we had here in Northern MN last fall?
