Description

As three major weather systems clash in the Upper Midwest, duck hunters clamored to get to their hunting spots. Temperatures went from the mid-60s to single-digit blizzard conditions and trapped many hunters on shorelines and islands throughout the Midwest. Chris Madsen, DU Magazine freelance contributor and author of the feature A Deadly Day for Duck Hunters, shares his insights into the horrific tales of survival many hunters faced as the storm pummeled the region. Madsen discusses safety lessons learned from the Armistice Day Storm of 1940 and how the tragic story has stuck with generations of waterfowl hunters. www.ducks.org/DUPodcast
