Words of Wisdom from DU Members

by Matt Young

All waterfowlers share a common desire to improve their hunting skills and, consequently, enjoy greater success in the marshes and fields. When the editors of Ducks Unlimited magazine first sought to compile North America's greatest waterfowling tips, they had to look no further than the organization's members and volunteers, whose ranks are filled with many of the world's most dedicated and experienced waterfowlers.

The following is a selection of classic waterfowling tips submitted by DU members over the years, all of which are sure to help you become a more successful waterfowler.

Act Now to Help Save America's Waterfowl

It’s time to make sure our wetlands and waterfowl get the funding they deserve, and Ducks Unlimited needs you!

As in the past, Ducks Unlimited will be working to ensure that the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) is funded at the highest possible level for the next fiscal year, and we need your help in getting our message to Congress. NAWCA is one of the most cost-effective wetlands conservation programs out there, and to date has conserved more than 20 million acres!

Please click here to write to your elected officials on Capitol Hill to ask them to fund NAWCA at the highest possible level!

You are Ducks Unlimited’s greatest asset when working with Congress, please let your voice be heard on this and other critical waterfowl issues!

Please visit www.ducks.org/nawca for information and the latest updates on NAWCA.
