I just don't understand all of it ... If the darn thing(s) have survived with duck hunters all around, why would anyone in their right mind think that should be changed???? If it worked so well ... don't try to fix or improve on it
...
The very people who own the private ground that we could not flood have now quit their Commercial Duck Operation and are now going to run a Commercial Birder Guiding Operation on the very WMA that could not be flooded for duck hunters before?
...
tell us about the woody peckerwood guiding permits for wma's. tell us why it's ok for one group to make money on a wma by guiding and it's not ok for another to do the same.
...
I grew up in Des Arc, and as such I had several friends who hunted ducks on the Cache most of their lives. They and their fathers, grandfathers, etc. have done so almost religiously for decades, and now life as they knew it has changed forever in the name of a bird which no one is truly sure whether they have seen or not.
