MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Department of Health Services (DHS) today announced a new consumption advisory for mallards and wood ducks harvested on Green Bay due to the contamination of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Based on PFAS testing results in the region, the DNR and DHS have issued consumption advisories for two different areas of the bay.

This advisory is in effect immediately, and hunters should be aware of this for the fall hunting season.

Waterfowl were first collected from Green Bay in 2022 to evaluate the existing polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) consumption advisory in lower Green Bay. An additional assessment of PFAS concentrations in breast muscle tissue was included in this effort. In 2023 and 2024, additional duck breast muscle samples were collected. All testing occurred between the months of July and August, increasing the likelihood that the birds were representative of local breeding populations.

Results from these efforts indicate elevated levels of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a type of PFAS, in the breast muscle of the sampled ducks. The results also indicate that both adult and juvenile ducks in lower Green Bay have higher concentrations of PFOS than in the northern portion of the bay.

Based on these results, the DNR worked with DHS to develop new PFAS-based consumption guidelines for ducks.

Following wildlife consumption advisories will help prevent the consumption of PFAS-contaminated tissue, which can cause the chemicals to accumulate in the body. The DNR's Consumption Advisories and PFAS webpage has a complete list of up-to-date PFAS-based consumption advisories in Wisconsin.

Information About PFAS

PFAS are a group of human-made chemicals that have been used for decades in various products, such as non-stick cookware, fast food wrappers, stain-resistant sprays and certain types of firefighting foams. These contaminants have made their way into the environment in a variety of ways, including spills of PFAS-containing materials, discharges of PFAS-containing wastewater to treatment plants and the use of certain types of firefighting foams.

Health risks may increase when fish and wildlife with high levels of PFAS are consumed. These can include increased cholesterol levels, decreased immune response and decreased fertility in women, among other health effects. More information is available on the DHS website.

Additional information on the effects of PFAS can be found on the DNR's website.

The cheeseheads are the first of many teams that could win the Super Bowl this year. The Green Bay Packers have built one of the NFL's best infrastructures in the NFL. However, a couple of Sun Devils could be the pieces to help Green Bay bring him the Super Bowl Trophy back to Green Bay.

Defense

With the Packers acquiring Micah Parsons, it took them giving up long-time veteran defensive tackle Kenny Clark. Clark was not only a great player, as he was a three-time Pro Bowler, but he was also a staple in the Wisconsin Community.

Clark had been in Green Bay since 2016, so it is a loss for the Packers. However, ASU's C.J. Fite can be a great player to fill the void that Clark is leaving. Fite profiles a lot like Clark. As a player, Fite is a player who is good at pass and rush defense. As a leader, Fite has made a strong positive impression wherever he has played football.

Taking Fita in round 1 in the NFL Draft could also make sense for Green Bay. In the past drafts, the Packers have taken linemen on both sides of the ball. In the 2024 NFL Draft, they took offensive lineman Jordan Morgan in Round 1 and in 2023 they took Lukas Van Ness in Round 1.

From the trenches to the air, the Packers could also use some secondary players. After losing long-time cornerback Jaire Alexander to the Baltimore Ravens, corner is a need. So, ASU's Keith Abney II could be a great fit! Abney II profiles a lot like Alexander. They both have this infectious attitude and energy that not only makes them great players, but great people as well.

Free Safety could also be a position that the Packers could use. Former New York Giant Strong Safety Xavier McKinney had a strong year last year with the Pack, but he could use a running mate.

ASU's Myles Rowser would be a very nice fit in the green and gold. Rowser plays with a physical mindset, that would be a perfect fit for the NFC North division. This division contains the Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings, all of whom have adopted a play-style that learns towards toughness and grit. So, Rowser would be a nice mid-round selection for Green Bay to keep up with the culture of the division.

Offense

The Packers offense has a lot to like; however, the one need they have is a receiver. Even after drafting Matthew Golden in Round 1 last draft, he could use a partner in the receiving room.

If Green Bay were to land Jordyn Tyson, Tyson and Golden could be one of the best receiver tandems in the league. The former Sun Devil and Longhorn, would be trouble for opposing secondaries.

Tyson's game is more predicated on strength, while Golden's is more speed. However, both players have a very well-rounded skillset that Head Coach Matt LaFleur would have joy coaching with.

If Tyson is gone by the time the Packers pick, or another Green Bay receiver emerges during the season, the Pack could look to select ASU's Jalen Moss in the middle of the draft.

Moss has great agility and athleticism. He would be a good target for Quarterback Jordan Love, especially on scramble drills. Moss would be a nice addition to an already great Green Bay offense!

In conclusion, Green Bay is close to getting a Super Bowl, and some Sun Devils could help bring back the Lombardi Trophy to Title Town.

We would highly appreciate it if you would discuss your thoughts on what Sun Devils could be a great fit for the Green Bay Packers. Additionally, follow @Kevin Hicks on X to get updates on when new ASU on SI pieces drop!

Duck hunting gear at Barkhausen Waterfowl Preserve, July 19, 2019 (WLUK/Eric Peterson)

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WLUK) -- Don't eat mallard ducks from lower Green Bay. That's the word from Wisconsin natural resources and health officials.

The agencies say tests showed the ducks were contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.

This is the first time the DNR has put out an advisory for PFAS in waterfowl. The warning comes as we're closing in on duck hunting season, which starts Sept. 27 in the northern zone.

"The mallard is the staple of the duck population and that's what duck hunting is all about," President of the Green Bay Duck Hunters Association Roger Hanson said.

Hanson said it came as a surprise that PFAS contamination was found in ducks in Green Bay. This news leaves himself and other hunters disappointed.

"This is probably the last thing that you want to read about or hear about three weeks out from the opening of the south zone duck season," Hanson said.

In the northern portion of the bay, people are advised to limit their mallard duck consumption to one meal per month, and wood duck consumption to one meal per week.

The lower bay is defined as being south of a line from Longtail Point to Point au Sable. The northern portion is north of there and south of a line from Marinette to Sturgeon Bay.

Hanson said this won't slow down duck hunters.

"I do not think this will deter hunting in any way, shape or form. People may become more selective about what they're shooting," he said.

He says the challenge is hunters can't tell for sure which ducks have or have not been contaminated.

The Departments of Natural Resources and Health Services say waterfowl were collected from the bay in 2022 to test for PCB contamination. Additional tests for PFAS were done at that time. More samples were collected in 2023 and 2024.

The tests showed both adult and juvenile ducks in the lower portion of the bay had higher PFAS concentrations than in the northern portion.

"We're never too surprised to find it, but we were a little bit surprised to see the extent of the levels that we did see in these ducks from lower Green Bay," Wisconsin DNR Fish & Wildlife Toxicologist Sean Strom said.

Strom said they wanted to get the advisory out before duck season opened.

PFAS, sometimes called "forever chemicals," are man-made substances found in a number of products. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, PFAS can increase cancer risk and can affect growth, learning and women's fertility.

As for hunters, they hope the advisory will be short lived so they can get back to what they love without worry.

"It's very disappointing when something like a forever chemical comes along," Hanson said.

The DNR said it's collecting fish from the bay and analyzing them this fall and winter for contamination. To be clear, fish from the bay are not part of this advisory.

Meanwhile, the DNR and DHS also issued a similar advisory for fish and deer from the town of Stella in Oneida County. That is just east of Rhinelander.

Prior to the start of the 2025 NFL season, the Green Bay Packers made waves throughout the league by acquiring four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Micah Parsons in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys. In order to acquire the three-time All-Pro, the Packers had to send Kenny Clark, a three-time Pro Bowler in his own right, and two future first round draft picks to the Cowboys.

Green Bay acquired Parsons, of course, in an effort to boost their pass rush, which was disappointing in 2024. The hope was that adding a player of Parsons’ caliber to their defensive line would result in more sacks, both by Parsons himself and other players in the front seven.

But as of Week Six, the Packers only have 12 sacks as a team, and Parsons has just 2.5 of them. And while they are generating pressures on opposing quarterbacks regularly, they are not making the splash plays they had hoped would result from having Parsons on the team. At least, not yet.

And Parsons knows why it is not happening.

Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons says NFL officials favor the offense

While Parsons has just 2.5 sacks, he is constantly generating pressure on the quarterback and drawing double or triple teams from opposing offensive lines. And, as many fans saw on Sunday, many holding penalties that do not get called.

For years, Cowboys fans bemoaned the fact that Parsons was held on nearly every single play, but officials rarely called it.

And, based on his comments during a press conference with Packers media members on Thursday, Parsons agrees with these criticisms of NFL officials, but thinks that it is because the league wants offenses to succeed more than defenses:

“Five years of not getting a call, you eventually stop worrying about it.” “They don’t call offsides for offense, but they’ll call it on defense. They won’t call offensive pass interference, but they’ll call defensive pass interference immediately. We know what they’re trying to do. They wanna load the points up so fans can be happy. They’ll call defensive holding, but they won’t call offensive holding. Let’s just wake up.

“I might get a fine for this (press) conference.”

For his part, head coach Matt LaFleur said that he plans on asking the officials on Sunday to keep an eye out for holds against Parsons.

It will be interesting to see if that conversation goes anywhere or produces any results.
