Delta’s U.S. Mentored Hunt Program Takes Off – More than 70 Hunts Planned for Upcoming Season

Bismarck, N.D.—The seeds of John Denker’s love of waterfowling were sown when he was a young boy working as his father’s field apprentice in and around his hometown of Quincy, Illinois. “I was affectionately called the bag boy, the kid who picked up the birds, typically a mixed bag of ducks and geese, and hauled them back to the vehicles after the hunt,” said Denker, 28. “I loved to be outside and wouldn’t sleep the night before just knowing we were going. With my Dad, I got to be one of the guys, and those early days spurred my love of waterfowling that has only grown as I’ve gotten older.”

Delta Waterfowl and its many partners will be heading afield too, mentoring the next generation of hunter-conservationists and, by extension, keeping Canada’s time-honored waterfowling tradition alive.
