I've got an 11 year old that I'm thinking about sending to Camp Woodie in South Carolina. The Camp is put on the South Carolina Waterfowl Association. Anyone ever send a kid to camp there?

Looks like it would be a good time for her!

Did you see that the SCWA has a program were they release like 50,000 mallards a year for hunters?

Why do you think the number of wintering mallards in SC has dropped from 100,000 to only 5,000 in 30 years? Thats a real shock to me.

Camp Woodie, good... SCWA BAD.

We are trying to get rid of the tamie releasers, but it aint easy. There are many reasons why ducks dont come here anymore. The released ducks are just some peoples answer to it, not the cause. We use to have many hundreds of thousands of ducks that would winter in the Santee area of our state. Now they are gone, I'm no expert so I cant say why. I do know that before the state put grass carp in the Lakes at Santee there was grass everywhere, and ducks too. Now the grass is all but gone and so are the ducks. Just ask anyone who use to huint the area in the 70s, 80s and early 90s. The early 90s is when people really started lookig for other states to hunt in. Like Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.

I personally would not send my child there whle they still support the release of tame ducks for people who think they are duck hunters to have something to shoot at.
