Ducks Unlimited response to the FFL

i wonder if ole boy Goins is deleting any mention of this from his FB group. That or he is saying it is a pack of lies and only his facts are facts because he says they are facts.

DU's response to FFL =

I just renewed my DU membership that way I can officially “be against fair hunting.” And I will look sweeeeet in my free jacket at the meeting.

DU is losing members and influence to the FFL and this isn’t really debated so DU is forced to go on the defensive.

Lower duck licenses sold Coupled with the FFL is hurting DUs fundraising and membership numbers. DU is grappling with the same problem that the CCA is burdened with.

What's the "FFL?"

Here's my take on this. I don't support DU because they mainly do a lot of projects on private lands that benefit people with larger pockets. I understand they participate with LDWf to help create greentrees in the local WMAs. However, that doesn't benefit public land hunters as far as duck numbers go, it just provides more areas for them to hunt. Which I appreciate. DU can say what they want about harvest rate and stats, but as a whole duck numbers in Louisiana have declined since the start of DU.

I read the article they released, and they indirectly said that they rather waterfowl not migrate south because it guarantees them better success rate with nesting. Which I understand,yu have to have new birds born each year to continue hunting, but I don't spend my money every year on equipment to grow ducks, but rather on equipment to kill ducks.
