Warming Trends In Duck Blinds, Visions of Global Warming
By WILLIAM YARDLEY

Many hunters are fond of calling themselves the original environmentalists. But in a sport with a distinct rural identity, many are not about to get behind Al Gore.

Some are just as quick to blame farming practices of big agricultural companies or government feeding programs for changes in duck behavior. In many areas, wildlife have also changed their behavior when their habitat has been damaged by development and when it has been improved by conservation efforts, like converting farmland to forests.

“We were conservationists before ‘green’ was even a popular word,” said Allen Morris, known as Horntagger, who lives in Jackson, Mo. “We have sacrificed and used money for licenses to save land for the wildlife, but in the mainstream media, you never hear about it.”

Mr. Morris dismissed “so-called global warming” as having no impact on hunting.

Activities that help me bring the best imagery into your store comes from my activity with conservation group and the outdoor industry.
