Duck Conservation

I would like to share my thoughts about duck conservation and the ethics of it. I first would like everyone who is not already a member with Ducks Unlimited and Delta Waterfowl to sign up and join.  It will be well worth your money to go ahead and give a little back to the wetlands that you love so much.  We lose thousands of acres of prime wetlands each year, and we must try to help get involved in order to stop this or at least slow the rate of acres down per year.  Every dollar that you give to DU and Delta goes back and helps create more new wetlands or preserve the ones that we already have and love so much.  Also, another way to help our ducks is to not shoot the hens.  I know this is a controversial topic, but just think of the pros of not shooting hens.  Every hen that you pass on and goes on through out the duck season has approximately 8-10 ducklings every year.  Some may die by predators and natural causes, but then again there are always a few that live throughout the hatch. Please, pass on the hens and go after the drakes,  that way we have new ducklings every year.  Just my .02 on this topic. 

Remember, you need the ducks and they need you.
