I'm not really educated about this but would like to find out what performance goals they are talking about in relation to receiving funding.

The September minutes outline the criteria (page 12).

Best bang for the buck. They get matching funds and have the capacity to actually do work on the ground with very little overhead costs.

If they spent the money here, people would get upset if it was spent in a portion of the state they dont hunt. Cant please everyone, send it up to where the majority of our ducks come from

Yeah I mean, since you likely bought a license this year, they already got some of your dollars.

Hearing him talk about how he does not work for the rice farmers, he works for hunters....I don't think you can ask anymore than that. He may not always make decisions that are popular with everyone, but he is trying to do what is best. I like that.

Dude knows his stuff. Never seen him stumped on a question and is always available for questions on any outdoor website.

One thing that I think should change is the wording on the zones. Instead of coastal, east, west, just call them Zones 1, 2, 3. Looks silly when parts of western La is in the East zone and the SE Louisiana coast is not in coastal zone.

The numbers would confuse me more than anything. Stupid deer season with its 10 zones. Screw that. Give me a name that I can use. Numbers are so impersonal. I need a name when I get mad at someone for my season not being good!

I'm happy with it. Especially if east opens a week later than coastal.

what if i have a rice field south of 14 in throwell and one in welsh? they are in two different zones, shooting the same birds, but open on different dates...

makes perfect sense!

It's a damn shame they didn't give some of that money to a science based duck hunters organization like Delta Waterfowl. Why not let Delta and DU do some good with those funds?

Delta and DU are not competing organizations. DU is much larger than Delta and has the capacity to get on the ground work done. DU is able to quadruple the money with matching. Instead of $1 million going to breeding grounds, there is $4 million. Very low overhead for a non-profit also.
