Rumors of Hunting's Demise Have been Greatly Exaggerated..

The headlines painted a gloomy picture for the future of hunting—"Fewer Americans Hunting and Fishing"..."Waterfowl Hunters a Vanishing Breed"..."The Elusive Hunter".

The stories were in response to last fall's release of the 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, which showed hunter numbers the lowest they've been since 1970.

Anti-hunters gloated at the news, but an article in the current issue of Delta Waterfowl magazine—the first in a five-part series—says rumors of hunting's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Early Spring Habitat Conditions in Canada

Habitat conditions are good along the British Columbia coast and in the central Interior, with conditions ranging from fair to good in the southern and southeast Interior. Conditions remain variable in the Western Boreal Forest at present.

In the prairies, snow accumulations remain well below average and more precipitation is needed to improve conditions before spring migration. The parklands are generally rated as good or better. Eastern Canada has received significant snowfall since January, and conditions in the region are generally very good.

Rod Haydel, Haydel's Game Calls

Rod Haydel, of Haydel's Game Calls has a few tips to share when it comes to calling ducks.

1. As long as the ducks are coming in, forget calling. 2. Try calling at birds as they circle when they quarter into the wind. This will make it easier for them to set up for a landing zone into the wind. 3.When the ducks start an erratic wing beat, hit them with a comeback call immediately to bring them back on line. 4. If they look as if they may drift off-line, use single quacks and feed calls to bring them back online. 5. When team calling, one person should be the leader while the others just fill in. Don't compete against yourselves. 6. Realize that not all ducks are callable and that even real ducks do not call in all the ducks all the time.
