In regards to the State Duck Stamp Money-These are NOT "Louisiana Duck Stamp" funds. LA Duck Stamp money is obligated to be spent in Louisiana to affect habitat in our state. The funds sent to DU or Delta, or whoever for breeding waterfowl habitat work are actually 10% of our basic hunting license fees. This money is voted on by the commission every 2 or 3 years depending on the length of the contract. Three conservation organizations sent proposals for this funding last go around. Secondly you go on to say - "So in order to get the best bang for the buck, the money went to our duck factory which is in fact Saskatchewan and who the heck else is going to get this done besides DU?" I have to say that the large Delta membership in Louisiana would probably take offense to that. Delta received a part of this money from 2002 to 2010. Delta is very capable of doing great things for LA duck hunters as well and has with this funding. Delta is in the business of making ducks and do a very efficient job of doing that. Hopefully Delta gets another crack at part of the funding in 2015. |

By the way, I am a member of both DU and Delta. I believe each organization is doing a great job in the area of the ducks whether it be research, land acquisition/management, or any area related to conservation of our beloved duck resources. |

As for above, I was correcting you on the funds. It's not LA duck stamp money that goes to Saskatchewan, it's a percentage of State hunting license sales. I have been corrected by Larry on this so check with him if you don't believe me. LA Duck Stamp sales go to LA habitat work. I usually side with you on issues, but I couldn't not say anything on this stuff. Good conversation. That being said I can't wait to shoot some teal. You have a good day. |

The small guys are the ones supporting the local banquets and buying memberships. The political guys are the ones that we need to keep conservation dollars rolling in from the gov't. It is in fact a political world we live in and we must have allies in the senate/congress in order to secure matching federal dollars to the dollars DU raises in order to continue the conservation efforts. We also need the laws they make in order to protect wetlands for our beloved feathered friends and their brethren. Doesn't CCA use politics? Delta? Quail Unl'td, Elk Foundation, etc? They all need politics to survive and carry out their missions. |

It is my belief that many that complain are "me" type people.
they want to know exactly where "their" ducks are...... Many have no idea of being a servent to the life we live. We must serve the present, without being selfish, so that our children know how to serve in the future. While many conservation groups are trying to raise and balance funds across board areas and ideas, the government is trying to "take" that same money to send to things and ideas that have nothing to do with our way of life. Sportsman are quickly becoming a rarity. Replaced by metro sexuals that have no idea what real blue jeans are actually meant for .......WORK DU is a political monster .........not realizing that is just plain stupid. It may very well be mayors, and senators and the like.......but envy them are not, these people get things done. Serve in any way possible, pick your poison or whatever you want, but serve. Money, time, circle of influence.....use whatever tool you are blessed with. and at the end of the day, don't blame DU or Delta, of the roughed Grouse society of CCA because you are a crappy outdoorsman. |

Couldn't have said it better myself. Man is steward to the land. Aldo Leopold, the father of wildlife management, described this many times. We should be taking care of the land to pass on to future generations, not solely concerned with our own selfish agendas. I personally, having been on both sides of the fence (organization vs. Private interest) do not see what many people see. These conservation organizations work with what they have. If they can only manage to work on John Smith's land in order to do something in a particular region, that is what they will do. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I847 using Tapatalk 2 |
