RE: DU vs Delta Waterfowl???

Hey RedAllison, Where are you getting your information?

Just to let you know I serve on my DU Chapter and believe in what they do. Maybe not with everything but all in all. I am Pro any organization that puts forth any efforts to save or improve our Natural resources.

I want to give my opinion on some of your comments You stated that Delta is 10 years older and considerable smaller and Delta raised a little over 3 million where DU raised 292 million. I don’t get it just because they are smaller they are inferior I would be more concerned about where 292 million is going more than 3

Have you heard of the Wairio Restoration Project in New Zealand where DU has committed $140,000.00 dollars for the project, if I am not mistaken money raised in the U.S.

http://www.ducks.org.nz/news.html How many Ducks do you think fly over here from New Zealand. I still serveDU but as I said I don’t agree with everything.

You said they don’t have any research biologist on the payroll, well I don’t know if they are paid positions or not but Dr. Frank Rohwer their Scientific Director has a degree in Wildlife Biology from Kansas State University. If I am not mistaking there are a few Biologist Working for DU that have come from Delta.

When you say that Delta tells local Committee members that they can keep 10% of their fund raising for local work That sounds great DU gives 0% I can’t say that I blame them for stepping in and saying the money can’t be given for scholarships, how is that giving back to the environment in your neighborhood.

Predator management is very important especially if your wetlands are shrinking and the Ducks are congregated.

DU is Wetlands Conservation

Delta is Waterfowl Ecology

These two organizations compliment each other
How can you slam an organization that one of there objectives is to Preserve and promote hunting as an integral part of waterfowl management.
