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.

Well written synopsis Starfox. I used to lean slightly anti-DU just because I disliked the fact that I was paying dues to an organization that was helping private landowners create habitat that I would never get to see, much less hunt on. However I have come to realize any habitat created in this day and age is beneficial to ducks in the grand scheme of things.
