 Delta Watefowl President Rob Olson is calling on the U.S. Senate to protect and enhance key conservation programs and proposals important to migratory waterfowl and other wildlife as it crafts its version of the federal Farm Bill.
"If we don't protect grassland and wetland habitat in the Prairie Pothole Region, continental ducks populations will plummet, and that will impact waterfowl hunters across the U.S." says Olson. "The Senate has a golden opportunity to act on behalf one of its key voting blocs: hunters. These conservation programs are invaluable to preserving America's rich hunting heritage, and the Senate must take that into account before it passes a bill."

Hunters live by an unwritten code that dictates they eat what they harvest, but even the most ethical of hunters make an exception for snow goose.
As table fare, snow goose gets less respect than Rodney Dangerfield. Some waterfowlers call them "sky carp", but others say that's an insult to carp. Outdoor writers have described them as "lutefisk with feathers", "an over-cooked catcher's mitt" and "an old pair of waders".
Whatever you call them, most hunters agree that snow goose is hard to swallow.
"Not true," says Delta Waterfowl President Rob Olson, who in the current issue of Delta magazine revealed four snow goose recipes he swears will have even the most finicky eaters lined up for seconds.
