Poll: Do you have a preference of DU or Delta Waterfowl ? I realize they are both good but just crious.

DU because that is what I know. We don't have to much delta around yet so I don't know about them a whole lot.

If you don't have a Delta Chapter look into starting one. We finally got one started here (first on in Oregon) a little over a year ago and it has already made a huge impact. DU is great but Delta really does put their money where their mouth is.

They keep things pretty simple and it works.

Adam,

Last year I spent a lot of time on the phone with Delta about starting up a chapter. As I looked into the capter I realized Delta is about the sciene of waterfowl. The interesting thing was they thought that their way was the only way. I believe they have a good thought behind what they do IMO if Delta and DU team up their efforts there would be even more birds and habitat. As any non-profit goes they focus and need money. As a chapter your job and focus is about your annual banquet and how much money you bring in.

MY TWO CENTS.

Adam-

I agree that their should be more joint efforts but that would be a hard sell. As much as Delta thinks that they do things the right way so does DU.

For me.. At the end of the day it's about making sure my kids have places to hunt waterfowl. I will send my money every year to DU but both my time and money will go to Delta.

BTW.... I would love to know who you talked to at Delta (Who was the region rep you spoke with). I can tell you they bent over backwards to help us get one started here in Oregon. If you do not have to bad of a taste left in your mouth I could send you some names and #'s.


Cheers,

Adam

For me it would be DU...

I don't like being told not to shoot Hens and every Delta Person I have talked to spews that crap...!

also I notice at DU events not everyone in the room hunts Ducks the Last Dinner I helped run for DU a few weeks ago I could count on both hands guys that hunt ducks... the raise a whole lot of money out of people that don't hunt waterfowl and just go for the social reasons...

I will Say Delta does put their money were there Mouth is and does alot for ducks...
