I don't know the facts but my guess is non hunting areas don't make for a better duck population.

Anyone that knows anything knows that concentrating ducks or any wildlife is just asking for the spread of decease.

All of these "safe zones" should be open for hunting. So the ducks would be forced into their natural migration patterns.

Point is we had more ducks and better hunting before we had these safe non hunted feeding zones.
