No 4-1 fools joke.
« on: April 01, 2026, 01:57:56 PM »
Sounds like Delta reported 2.5% decline in waterfowl hunters from the 23-24 to 24-25 season.  That is a huge drop in hunter numbers that I would not even predicted for just one lousy year. 

“The USFWS estimate shows a 2.5% decrease in active waterfowl hunters from the 2023-2024 season.”

Also the drop in participation could have dropped even more on how the stats might have been gas lighted to included non-residents possibly hunters being counted 2 or more times depending how many states they hunted in.  Washington didn’t even make the grade worth mentioning.  https://deltawaterfowl.org/whats-new/hunting/waterfowl-hunter-numbers-drop/

That goes against everything you have preached as showing declining numbers is just being negative.  Looks like some of us are now understanding truth and reality even if facts show need for help from all of us.
