In this episode of "Hunting Matters," we are joined by Matt Garrick, Senior Field Officer at Fish & Game New Zealand and a former HSCF-Dan L Duncan Scholarship recipient. We dive into Matt's impressive international career in wildlife biology and waterfowl management, following his journey from a small farm in New Zealand to top research and state biologist positions across North America, and back home again to lead game bird conservation.

The discussion details Matt’s extensive educational and professional journey, from his undergraduate work at Iowa State University to completing his master's degree at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute at Texas A&M University–Kingsville, where he studied the nutritional ecology of northern pintails along the Texas coast. Matt shares how receiving the HSCF-Dan L Duncan Scholarship fueled his aspirations, reflecting on his seasonal field experiences spanning Alaska, Alberta, Alabama, Nevada, Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska. We explore his previous leadership roles as an Assistant State Waterfowl Biologist in Iowa and Waterfowl Program Manager in Nebraska, highlighting the critical science behind bird banding, satellite telemetry, and cross-border international agency collaboration within the Central Flyway.

Finally, we explore Matt's current work leading habitat restoration, hunter surveys, and game bird management programs with Fish & Game New Zealand, comparing the hunting traditions, species, and regulation structures between North America and Australasia. Matt shares his lifelong passion for chasing waterfowl alongside his black lab, breaks down how biological research shapes hunting bag limits, and offers valuable advice for students looking to turn their love of the outdoors into a global conservation career.
