Re-Wilding the Atlantic Flyway mallards......?

[Catdaddy]

Bringing in more genetically pure wild mallards doesn’t do anything if you still allow releasing tamies. Absolutely a waste of money and time. You could bring in five times the number of birds in the Atlantic flyway and be back to the same situation in ten years or so. Kind of like treating the symptoms instead of the disease.

The keyboard warriors have been hollering for stopping releases for 25 years.

How has that worked out for you?

The USFWS, the SCDNR, or anybody else hasn't stopped it.


One plus I see from this project/idea is that any pure genetic bird released by the SCWA, retriever trials, or individuals wanting them in their backyard pond,.......will stop watering down the genetics of the wild population.
