yeah-that one gets me- what is the evidence

true they spend the money they raise on habitat - instead of paying for my shells, decoys, truck and guns.

Saving/improving habitat has always been the focus from day one- but who drives and funds the effort? DU just funded a major effort for wood ducks on a local refuge, which allows hunting and is surrounded by state hunting lands

the magazine is certainly hunter oriented, even the CEO column this month discusses the unusual season that just ended with a hunter's perspective.

is it a duck hunting club, no, but it does a job none of us can do for ourselves
