waterfowler_gal Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Re: DU or Delta ? Yeah I am a big DU supporter/volunteer too. They are both great groups but I have been a DU member as well as my family since I could walk so.... I am biased and support what I know.... Anything that is about conservation and restoring and keeping our hunting privealage alive I am all for though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palssonater Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Re: DU or Delta ? I proudly support both. However there are some things that I question with Delta. I have worked for DU as well. It was an amazing summer doing biological surveys of the Marsh on a fan boat(like in the everglades). 350cu in motor....top speed around 50mph and could go on hay field if need be. Reeds were no problem. Fist hands with ducks and other animals. Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin R10 man Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Re: DU or Delta ? neither....ducks dont come thru here and stop. And our locals are gone before season opens, not worth it to join them as I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covehnter Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Re: DU or Delta ? Delta- the techniques they employ show increasing success with the resources that are available . . . sure adding more area for nesting in the Priarie Potholes will always be beneficial, but the truth is that we will never be able to regain enough acreage to make things like they need to be, other precautions that Delta has introduced shows huge success with what we do have.

Bow Hunter Derek Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Re: DU or Delta ? DU. Only because that is what is big here in Indiana. I don't know much about Delta. Besides, if I join one more thing, my wife will kill me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could take you to oak hammock marsh - DUC headquarters, where the sun is blocked by waterfowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayman Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Re: DU or Delta ? [ QUOTE ] guess you'll have to make your way up to Manitoba and see what hunting DU birds is all about!! [/ QUOTE ] Brady, They are not DU birds. And that's the misperception that a lot of people have about DU, and admittedly, the misperception of a lot of people within DU. Because DU invests in the habitat, it doesn't make the birds "DU birds". I know you don't disagree with me on this, I only point it out because it's that misperception of entitlement or ownership of the resource that fuels a lot of the arguments for people who have negative opinions of DU.

Palssonater Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Re: DU or Delta ? Good point there clayman! I should be more careful! Thank you for bringing this up. I, in no way, disagree with you. This area seems to see less negativity than others. We are lucky, and I feel terrible for those of you who have to deal with negative attitude on a regular basis.

carbonhunter Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Re: DU or Delta ? [ QUOTE ] Both awesome orginization's to have around and belong to. I personally belong to Duck's Unlimited because that's what's in NW iowa. Also think about Pheasant's Forever, alot of pheasant ground is used by duck's and geese for nesting! [/ QUOTE ] very very true...PH does alot of wetland projects as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
