Taking Others Hunting is Part of Conservation

Being able to watch these hunters get excited and take ducks was more fun for me than taking a limit for myself. The guide service gets many first-time duck hunters, as well as hunters who have only been marginally successful. We also get hunters who have hunted ducks often. I enjoy spending time with them, sharing the resource and explaining why duck hunting is more than just about shooting ducks.

You have to break the dam, which takes about three hours, set the trap and catch the beaver. But then those beavers left will return and have
