Wildfowl Refuges Boost Duck Nesting Across States
Field and Stream notes California and Minnesota report large wildfowl nesting on reclaimed lands. California refuges keep ducks breeding locally. Minnesota expects 300000 ducks to migrate south from Thief Lake, where 500 birds were released to encourage nesting. The lake, flooded after initial drainage, costs about $108000 with a 10 000 dollar supervision estimate. U S Biological Survey urges flooding more waterfowl refuges until larger federal funding arrives. J P Cammack outlines tentative two day pheasant season in western counties, October 14 15, with two birds daily and public shooting grounds at Republic county lake featuring 30 blinds and 50 cent daily fees. A mixed foursome golf event occurs at Hill View Golf course near Lawrence with post-tournament basket dinners and upcoming club invitations.
