DUCK CRISIS.
Following on two dry seasons, a great duck crisis has occurred in Canada and America. The birds have failed to compete against the modern gun, modern transport, baiting for the gun, poaching, etc. Shorter seasons, lessened bag limits have been of no avail. All the time the excessive destruction by man has been going on many hunters’ organisations have stated that ducks are holding their own, etc., just as is done in New Zealand, where it only needs a similar combination of adverse circumstances to bring about like results. The remedy lies in more rigorously protected duck havens, where the birds should be fed as a set-off against cowardly baiting for the gun.
