My biggest issue is the way it will be used. Statistics for dummies…. Let’s see harvest data from this year ski how many wood ducks it saves… I am willing to bet the same number of wood ducks or close to the same number report being harvested with less days afield. They will say this is better quality hunts and the average bird per hunt per day has gone up and therefore SCDNR’s management was successful…..
When in reality we need to move the wood duck limit down we need to provide better habitat amount a lot of other things. So we will see….
“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965
