In 103d the ducks on the North American Continent had reached fre- the lowest ebb in history. We Maritime province gunners have never possibly realized just how close we came to loosing our wat- erfowl shootlng. The Black Ducks were the least affected as the great drought did not affect the eastern Canada seaboard like it did in other sections the Dominion, particu- larly in mid west. The hardy M51- lard was hard hit and other species including the Pintaii, Gadwail, Wldgeon, Teal, Scaup, Redhead. Canvasback, etc. were on the verge of extinction. 996 gunners all over the United States were either- putting their guns away for kee s or were trying to sell them. T e game wasn't worth the candle. Duck clubs were either closing or folding up all over the States and large numbers of employees such as superintendents caretakers, guides, watchmen, etc. were out of jobs. Ducks Unlimited was incorporat- ed in_the District of Columbia, January 29th, 1937, as a nonprofit membership corporation. Water is the vital factor in the life of the Canadian West. The ducks were decimated by the same drought which blasted Canada's farm econ- omy. Ducks Unlimited began its work in 1938. Since their, they have launched 150 restoration pro- jects in the West. They have help- ed increase ducks over 500 percent and at the same time have helped the farmers, ranchers, and trap- pers in hundreds. of‘ communities. Some of the dams built in west- ern Canada by Ducks Unlimited are over a mile long and flood areas up to 322,000 acres. From 1938 until 1944 hundreds of thou- sands of dollars of sportsmews money have been spent in Alber- ta, Saskatchewan. and Manitoba. ‘ O O Other methods besides water conservation to increase waterfowl production initiated by Ducks Un- imited include Crow, Magpie and Predator Control; a check on spring stubble burning and Kee- men employed by Ducks Unlimited see that regulations governing the cutting of hay are strictly enforc- ed. Regulations specify the dates on which haying may commence in the different zones and the rules also specify that hay shall not be cut closer than a certain distance from ‘the water's edge. In the West there are large shallow sloughs, sometimes of sev- eral thousand acres in extent, which, during periods of protracted drought, disappear entirely and t‘"ousands of ducklings are left stranded before they can fly. They either have to reach water or per- ish, Kee-man have salvaged thou- sands of du'cks by picking them up in wagon, truck or trailer and car- rying them to fresh deep water. Before restrictions were placed on the dates for starting haying oper- ations thousands of nests of eggs were destroyed and equally as many day old duckling: were cut to pieces by the mower knives before they had time to reach tire haven of water. From 1938 until 1944 Ducks Unlimited were respon- sible for the destruction of over 456,000 crows and 1,141,891 e885 and nestlings. I O O Prior to 1W8 farmers burned over the hay lands in May-after the ducks had started to nest. This destroyed countless thousands of eggs and removed potential nest- ing cover. The burning of lands is now don‘ in the proper season, before A ri 30th, and un- der the supervls on of D. U. Kee- men. l O O Sportsmen are frequently criti- cized by a certain section of the crime imaginable, including the destruction of wildlife under the guise of sport. Far seeing sports- men have realized that it is pos- sible to have their sport and with careful nagement and control of factors adverse to wildlife, to replace more that: they take. Last year officials of Ducks Un- limited conducted a survey of con- ditlonl in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and work on two pro- jects will commence this summer. Unless the area flooded will cover 1,000 acres or better D. U. is n00 particularly interested. A tentative surve of this rovinco showed that t was doub ful if any section would lend itself to a profsfl m" would flood one half that acreage. If Pheasants Unlimited can dupli- cate!
