President's false hope in ducks sparks criticism
President Hoover's proclamation limiting the waterfowl hunting season to one month blames drought for the duck shortage. Seth Gordon of the American Game Association says the message spreads a false hope and ignores man-made factors such as drainage ditches and plowed lands that have decimated marshlands and lowered underground water. The debate ties to larger conservation challenges and natural resource management across the continent.
