I just got an e-mail from my wife's cousin who I hunted with last year in MS. He is starting grad school in southern Illinois, studying the spring migration patterns of ducks. The school is supplying him with a permit, heavishot, and a boat to go and "collect" 50 specimens of female mallards, bw teal, ringnecks, and a few other species. It must suck. He is supposed to be examining their stomach contents or something like that, but regardless he is getting to duck hunt now! :salude: I'm jealous issed:

I did my science fair project once on techniques and lure presentation on large mouth bass. Got 3rd place, I guess the judge was a outdoorsman. :thumbsup:

WISH I had that class when I was in school. Why do they have to shoot females?

I measured the lasting affect of removing 1 or both ovaries of female rats over a 4 week period.

1. Sergically removed ovaries
2. Wait 4 weeks and care for rats
3. Gas them in a plastic bag with CO2
4. Cut them open and see the effects.

Pretty nasty rats really stink! Much worse than a cadaver.

I would much rather do the duck killing

[Duck Crazy]

i had to give a speech for school about duck hunting, lemme tell ya i was so disappointed :toofunny:

 

[gahunter]

I don't know why they have to shoot hens. I guess they are only studying hens. He didn't give me the class syllabus.

 

[frazier2209]

was it 50 of each kind, or 50 total. THat total part would be pad to the bone. :getdown:
