    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.

    from past discussions, it would seem that not a one of ya'll yahoo duck hunters can tell a hybrid from the rest.
