is a loose-knit group of veteran waterfowl hunters who, having
witnessed the sharp decline in numbers of ducks over the past
half-century, have joined forces to increase our migratory flocks
and preserve our hunting heritage by restoring biological, ethical
and managerial integrity to the collective enterprise known
as "waterfowl management."
We challenge today's waterfowl biology, citing official U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service data, and encourage factually based
discussion of the biological issues.
We deplore the stark erosion of ethical restraints that once
elevated waterfowl hunting to the highest level of sport.
This contrasts sharply with waterfowl management's emphasis
today on "body counts" and increasing the kill by
all means possible.
We believe our breeding populations and autumn migrations
can be increased significantly if we change the focus of waterfowl
management.
In short, we represent an alternative view of waterfowl conservation
and sportsmanship.
If you would like to be part of our effort, and join in our
discussions, we encourage you to sign up today. We will notify
you of each new posting.
Together, we can make a difference.
