    I’ve stopped a handful or two from leaving SC.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

I have no doubt ringnecks have more than adequate wintering habitat just that no one is working to try to manage breeding habitat. We are basing 75% of our duck season on ducks that breed in unmanaged habitat and that are uncountable during the breeding season.

    thanks. i was just wondering.
    i know the delta folks have been sending me some emails about the old long point area.

    i think they are interesting ducks. I know they arent what many people want, but i sure like to see and hear them at certain times of the year.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    They show the blackducks in the Eastern model, in which the op or DU didn't include.

    Thanks Catdaddy. I didn't see a region specific chart on DU when I looked.

    I gotta say now that I have seen the Eastern Survey, I am sure optimistic about the future.... Not.

    I hope to do just that in a year or two. Waiting on the wife to finish her degree and then head west.

    Meanwhile, in Heaven, I mean Canada...

    Migratory bird hunters will be afforded increased opportunities in Canada this season as a result of several alterations to provincial and zone-specific regulations.

    Daily bag limits for black ducks are increasing in a number of provinces. Hunters in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland/Labrador are now allowed to take six black ducks daily for the first portion of the waterfowl season, and four daily for the remainder of the season.

    I'd love to hunt PEI and lay the tungsten to 6 black ducks before lunch.

    Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!

    Easy drive. Under a day. Absolutely no reason not to do it. Think of the people camped out for 3 days holding a tamie hole and hammer down...
