YOUR VOICE HAS BEEN HEARD
It has been brought to my attention that several potential customers would like to order items but do not want to give there credit card numbers over the internet. You can call 281-821-3795 and order the products. Further, due to the inability to make sudden changes on the web site, each month a “call in special” will be listed in the Waterfowl Notes. This February & March – for all orders over $ 100.00 the freight is zero – free. In the future months we will be offering Snow Goose packages for call-in orders. The Coast package will be – a windsock sling, 150 Windtamer Snow Goose Rags on fiberglass rods and 6 snow alert heads – all for one price with zero freight cost. The Central package will be – a windsock sling, 130 Windtamer Snow Goose Rags on fiberglass rods, 20 Windtamer Blue Goose Rags and 6 snow alert heads – all for one price with zero freight cost. The Midwest Package will be – a windsock sling, 120 Windtamer Snow Rags on fiberglass rods, 10 Windtamer Blue Goose Rags, 40 Windtamer Canada/Spec Goose Rags on fiberglass rods and 6 snow alert heads and 3 brown alert heads – all for one price with zero freight cost. |

DNG SELLS WHAT WORKSIn regard to the items for sale on the Duckngoose.com web site. ALL are used by this hunter and quite a few waterfowl guide services in Texas, Missouri and Arkansas. Other waterfowl guide services avail themselves of certain items from California to Main. And they can be transported and set up in the dark, in the cold with the wind blowing. We have tried other decoys, other accessories, other blinds – what is on this site works. MOST ALL DECOYS WILL WORK. If you have a decoy or decoys that you feel are not working, give me a call – lets talk about it. Each type of decoy has a certain “best” condition. Try our recommended spices and jellies. They work not only with waterfowl but with other meats and vegetables. Our cookbooks are the best for cooking waterfowl. Other hunting and fishing magazines agree. Like most recipes, with a few wiggles each recipe can be used for dove, quail, pheasant, chicken or venison. The Waterfowl Cookbook includes sections on care and handing, cleaning, appetizers, soups, stews, gumbos, beads, vegetables, grilling, jerky, with full meal sections on duck and goose. The Sauce Cookbook has multiple sauces, good on all meats – but especially waterfowl. The Appetizer Cookbook has appetizers for luncheons, parties, snacks, and some are full meals – just cook more. The Sandwich Cookbook has recipes that offer ways to increase ounces per serving, a way to enjoy the waterfowl as snacks, lunches and party trays.
LISTENINGRead a piece in Parade magazine that is very sound advice. It concerns success. An idea that as waterfowl hunters, we can use and pass on to those coming after us. The key to Success is LISTENING. (1) Don’t do all the talking. Many people feel they need to talk immediately. Instead. Let the conversation come to you, and you’ll learn a lot more. (2) Ask the other person about himself (herself) or look for a bit of common ground to establish rapport. (3) Be respectful of everyone – peers, bosses and subordinates alike. (4) Don’t stick to your own script. Be flexible and follow the conversation.
WATERFOWL IN COMING SEASONSThe short fall in most areas of ducks is a concern. There are more duck hunters today than yesterday, but less hunting. The rising cost of hunting alone is going to reduce the number of hunters. Other forms of outdoors family activities will reduce days of hunting. As money decisions are made waterfowl hunting will be removed from many household budgets. There are less ducks. Land use is changing the location of migrating and wintering ducks. The explosion of guide services is leasing land that once was leased by hunting groups. Couple this with the constant cost of leasing land, apparently driven up by the competing outfitters. The guide service daily hunt prices make it impossible for many hunters to enjoy hunting more than a few days each season. Will this decline happen fast or slow. The big voices of hunters with the federal government NRA and DU will be able to see it first – the number of donations. Not the dollar amount but the number of hunters giving to both. Without influence in government the decline will increase. The habitat will decline; the numbers of new ducks will decline. As farming of grain declines, so will the amount of huntable land. We would like your thoughts on waterfowl hunting in the future. |
