Follow the geese this spring
Light Goose Migration Headquarters
 The 2011-2012 regular waterfowl season has come to a close throughout the country, but before you begin storing equipment, it's time for light geese in the United States. The Light Goose Conservation Order offers waterfowlers liberal regulations to help control exploding populations of light geese. Chasing blues, snows and Ross's geese during the spring migration takes knowledge, skill and plenty of scouting. Ducks Unlimited's Light Goose Migration Headquarters contains hunting tactics and essential tools for understanding bird behavior. The DU Migration Map will provide you with an up-to-date spring migration status for your area. Log onto DU's Light Goose Migration Headquarters today!

Ducks Unlimited celebrates 75 years of conservation success
Special website, events, book highlight organization's legacy
 Ducks Unlimited marked its 75th anniversary on Sunday, Jan. 29.

But seven decades later, DU is celebrating 75 years of conservation success due to the tireless support and efforts of its founders, generations of DU members and supporters, volunteers, partners and champions of the organization's conservation mission.
