My comment on the comments section:

Well I am a duck shooter, but have no idea where these silly claims of the reductions in duck numbers are coming from, thin air perhaps?

Duck hunting is a great sport for the whole family, a great constructive character building activity for kids. What better than being in the healthy great outdoors in the cool of a dawn on a duck swamp. And great tucker later too, a healthy free range organic meal of roast duck!

Duck hunters are true conservations too, putting thousands of hours into real conservation, unlike the "greenie" preservations whom just want to ban ban ban. Seemingly they want to ban everything nowadays. Shame on them.
