I am an avid DU supporter and volunteer. I am a member of the Westlake chapter. One of the rumors that is ridiculous is that DU is shortstopping ducks in Missouri, Nebraska, etc. Some say they are heating ponds or feeding the ducks to stop them from coming south. Ask any biologist and they can tell you that you cannot stop a million year old migration. And you can't feed all the millions of ducks coming down. And you can't keep that much water from freezing to keep the ducks from coming down. The duck migration is dependent upon weather and food. They will go only as far as they have to in order to find food and habitat.
What DU needs now more than ever is for more people in their 20s and 30s to get involved in our local chapters. We have local chapters in Westlake, Lake Charles, Sulphur, Hackberry, Deridder, Leesville, Jennings, Crowley, Pecan Island, Lafayette, and almost every city you can think of. If you want to volunteer for this fine organization please contact me and I can get you in touch with the right people.
We have a great time at our banquet/auctions. Come on out and ensure the future of our duck hunting!
