There is more than a bit of truth to what you are saying but not for the reason many think. DU has helped so many "restore" places for ducks to rest on the migration where they see little or no hunting pressure. They have it all in one place. Water, food and safety. Worse than that are the corn planted duck clubs which see very little hunting but hold thousand of birds in one place and the birds do not fly anywhere the five days a week they are not hunted. One club I know of has a $100,000 initiation fee and it cost $30,000 a year in fees. They have the ducks, but nobody within several miles ever see any ducks at all.
