Don Young of Ducks Unlimited resigns

Postby Oldskool » Sat Aug 15, 2009 9:09 am

Anyone else catch this? I saw it in the commercial appeal when it originally happened but hadn't heard anything since.

Too bad. He has been instrumental in doing a lot of good things for the organization in the time he was there.

Yea, he was a good concervationalist. I got the opportunity to meet him once a couple years back, he seemed like a good guy in general, I think maybe the only one left at du.
Damn, i thought I had that one

Is that buddy of yours tryin to blow that call or make love to it?

Thats why he left probably. He didn't want to be associated with the rest of the ???holes at DU.

Only met him once, but seemed to care about the duck hunting in our area. These large companies in general are doing somethings that go against tenured individuals, I have no idea what happened here, just personal dealings.
I do know that there are close family members that regular this board and it would show some character not to bash on the net. He and some of the tenured guys did more than these new guys will be able to.

Quack a attack.... 2 different personal friends of mine worked "directly" under Mr. Young at different times.

Faithful Retrievers......"show some character?"....I witnessed his "close family members" show some sky busting character in a blind one morning at the Quiver River Duck Hunting Club.....

I was probably too sharp with the tongue....So i wish Mr. Young the best. It will be interesting if the ole boy network changes At Waterfowl Way.............maybe Big Jim will donate the York Woods to DU..... :D
