I am glad us in the Corps of Engineers could help at Mahannah! Now if we could drive this ship pictured to the left up steel bayou and get close to Mahannah, we could pump all the mud they would need to build all the levees they wanted to as long as they flood em when I'm ready to hunt!!!!
Seriously, Thanks Chad for the info. It makes us comittee people feel that our hard work is not all in vain.
The "ship pictured at left" is currently working SW Pass, Ms. river and it is hot but not too much wind and the boats are out catching the hell outta the reds and specks! Just thought I would throw in a fishing report! Come on down, the waters nice and the river low!!!

Thanks for some insight Chad. I wasn't trying to start an arguement or anything, just pointing out the fact that if the work that was being done was a rest area, then it would have been better to keep it under wraps. There are enough of them as it is, and the last thing a bunch of duck hunters needs to hear is that DU spent more of thier money to build a place that's off limits to hunting.

As far as ducks not being able to preen themselves and all that other jazz is nonsense....not so much in the fact that ducks don't need to be able to do it, but nonsense in the fact that by some stretch of the imagination they aren't able to do it or would not be able to do it without rest areas. How many ducks die every year as a result of not being able to preen themselves. VERY VERY VERY few. Predation takes out a LOT more birds than becoming waterlogged ever could.
