Are you all geared up for waterfowl season? Have your hunting trips planned?

Even if you’re loaded up and ready for the 2018-2019 duck and goose seasons, the Delta Waterfowl Hunt Annual is a must-read, if for no other reason than to prime you for those cool fall mornings we wait for all summer long.

Let’s face it, you want some new waterfowl hunting gear. We have you covered, whether you’re in the market for a new shotgun, some decoys, waders, ammo, a boat, blind, camo or calls. And we haven’t forgotten your favorite hunting buddy — there’s a section for retrievers, too. We’ve rounded up the hottest new products from companies that support Delta Waterfowl and your lifestyle as a duck and goose hunter. So, when you’re shopping, start with Delta’s Gear Guide.

The Hunt Annual is loaded with prime destination articles that span all four flyways and Canada. We’ll take you from sea ducks in the Atlantic to diving ducks in the Pacific, and a dozen points between. Is this the year you’ll hunt Canada? How about a trip to Mexico? It’s in the Hunt Annual.

We cover retrievers, share great hunt tips and even help you cook your birds. For example, after wild game chef Brad Fenson is done teaching his lesson in this issue, you’ll have a new and brighter outlook on Canada geese.

Of course, the only way to receive Delta Waterfowl magazine and the 2018 Hunt Annual is to join The Duck Hunters Organization. If you are a member, thank you for your support. The Hunt Annual will arrive soon!
