I know DU USED to have some pretty interesting banquets....Before the wives started attending.

Dr. Frank Rohwer from LSU RNR is the president and chief biologist at DW. He's a really nice guy, and I had a class with him while I was there.

Tell her to try and get in touch with him

DW's (and Rohwer's focus) has always been improving breeding habitat and young survival to produce higher total numbers. I believe DU's focus is increasing migratory food supplies, which sucks for us.

Eta: LSU RNR has a lot of scholarships available. I was top stupid to ever get one, but they have plenty

Delta making a big push in the past couple years for more access to public land for duck hunting. More partnerships for public land improvements like their very successful Giant-Sylvania Eraticating Weevil project.

DU partners with some public land resources for some big $ habitat projects, but also has lots of money tied to private land improvements. Or land that isn’t public ally accessible. Still good for ducks, just not so much the average Duck hunter.

Delta Waterfowl was founded in 1911. And is the oldest duck organization. DU a couple decades later, 1937

Delta mission:To produce ducks and secure the future of waterfowl hunting.

DU mission: conserves, restores, and manages wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl. These habitats also benefit other wildlife and people.

I have some side by side comparison charts on other issues i can get to you.

Both very good organizations with some very different means and methods. I volunteered for both organizations 15 years ago, but went totally to Delta in about 2007, once i started doing my own research.

Lots of info on the websites. And if you email them they will send you even more info regarding programs and statistics.
