WATERFOWL hunt ers have been tak ing advantage of Ducks Unlimited’s Migration Map which has helped them improve their success in the field.
“We have created the ‘ultimate waterfowl hunter’s resource’ with Opening Day-First Flight,” said Anthony Jones, director of internet services for Ducks Unlimited. “The migration map is only successful when hunters post detailed reports of the migration they are personally witnessing while they are in the field. Our numbers are showing that not only are visitors utilizing the map, but the feedback we are getting shows that hunters are using the site’s many aspects as tools within every flyway.”
Opening Day First Flight offers constantly changing articles, video, gear features and several interactive maps for waterfowl hunters to utilize throughout the season. It offers everything from state agency sites to get licenses to detailed weather maps in conjunction with the zip code they plan to waterfowl hunt. It’s the most comprehensive waterfowl hunting site on the web.
The site will be live until Jan. 31.
