More Live Decoy Use Proposed for 1944 Duck Season
Washington says a large rise in duck and goose populations may allow limited use of live decoys in the 1944 season. The select wildlife committee notes duck numbers 27 million in 1933 rising to 150 million this year due to rainfall and better conditions. Texans at College Station report feathers from ducks and geese can aid Arctic sleeping bags and high altitude garments, with depots organized via county councils or local game groups.
