The Importance of Noticing Small Things in the Late Season to Be Successful

Most often if you’re hunting in the afternoon in the late deer season, the does and the fawns will come into the field first. Then the smaller bucks will appear.

DU celebrates 80 years

Sunday, Jan. 29, marks Ducks Unlimited's (DU's) 80th anniversary. Started by a small group of sportsmen on a mission to save North America's waterfowl populations – and the continent's strong waterfowling traditions – DU was founded in 1937 during the Great Depression and one of the worst droughts in history, far from ideal circumstances for an organization in its infancy.
