By the way DU replaced those pumps at sherburne earlier this year. And those terrace in black lake... Who do you think helped build those?

Yep, Delta and DU work together not against one another. In N La there when we had one bad duck season, people started going crazy blaming Ducks Unlimited
Then Delta Waterfowl had a huge following because people thought "delta" they thought Louisiana even though delta was started up in the Pacific NW and they are not competing organizations. Its just what happens when rumors get started and the facts are overlooked
A nice side note to this is that Phil Robertson actually tried starting up an organization (much like what the CCA thread folks are implying) that 'got to the bottom of it all'
It was called Duck Hunters United, may be something on the net about it. It fell dead, ESPECIALLY when Phil was using this to try and push legislation on duck hunting. Can't provide all the details, but basically Phil said that mallards do not come to Louisiana anymore and that DU is shortstopping the ducks (never heard that one before!
), so he tried to get non-migratory mallards established on his property and other properties. Thats a whole different ball of wax and would make for a good thread
