Delta understands!
« on: August 07, 2024, 08:53:15 PM »
Delta seems to know the severity of the challenges ahead for waterfowl hunting.

“Delta continues to advocate for a more aggressive approach to expanding access on federal refuge lands, given ongoing declines of access to quality waterfowling and the increasingly urgent need to recruit, retain, and reactivate new hunters.“

“There has never been a greater need or demand for high-quality public hunting access across the United States than right now,” said Cyrus Baird…

Agreed. My Uncle was a big time DU guy and changed to Delta. He said it was because of DU stance on trapping.

Sad part is majority of the waterfowl hunters probably have no clue what you are talking about.  Some might even laugh and criticize that trapping and waterfowl have nothing in common.

I wasn't a big fan of DU helping out WDFWs destruction of waterfowl areas either.

   There both important groups, but DU is way to political and tries to keep all the user groups happy and not piss anyone off. But it's usually the hunting group in the end who's mad (the dike destructions and such). Where Delta is truly for the hunters, I've heard on several podcast from Delta higher ups their end goal is more ducks in the sky for the hunters to harvest. I don't think you would ever hear that message from DU. It could upset the environmentalist groups and loose there funding and support.

 The predator management part of delta is huge, along with the promotion of the hen house and nesting tube projects.

Many critter groups flirt with sportsmen that they advocate for sportsmen. This is plainly false.  Everything I've pressed leadership from a critter group they fell back to... we are a habitat organization.  Fine we need those but don't be a poser.

All 501c3 have to walk a legal line but most habitat orgs get money from government grants land swaps and banquets. Always follow the money and it will tell you how far they will push back against stupid government pushes.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Love Delta, tired of DU building or help funding big wetland projects for hunt clubs
