Defending the Hunt
Secure the Future of Waterfowl Hunting by Staying Informed and Ready to Take Action
Working For — and With — You
Delta diligently works to address threats to duck hunting and create new opportunities for waterfowl hunters. This work occurs in city council offices, state legislatures, provincial ministries, and with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service leadership, U.S. Department of the Interior, and Canadian Wildlife Service.
Delta’s voice and perspective is amplified by our members and volunteers who, working with Delta’s policy staff, can be credible and authentic spokespeople for duck hunters in their communities. It is an incredibly powerful and effective model.
If you have a local, state/provincial, or federal hunting access or opportunity concern that you’d like Delta to investigate or advocate in, please click the appropriate link below to provide us with more information and make your voice heard!
