So why aren't more Minnesota hunters even remotely motivated towards stuff like that?

Because a majority of MN duck hunters are morons.

most prolly know little about it or even have heard bout it........

So why are the southern boys so much farther ahead of us morons? I thought we were supposed to be such a highly educated, affluent, wealthy state? Guess we are dumber than the southern hillbillies we mock and ridicule.

What's funny is the quote from Jim Cox:

"It looks like an expensive Band-Aid; that's how most (council members) looked at it," said Jim Cox, a council member and former president of the Minnesota Waterfowl Association.

But the 2.5 million we have dumped into lake Christina is fine, what a doofus.

Yep and a couple million at pelican! Those sure aren't band aides. They have only been trying to restore Christina for 30 years and still are trying. Now that's money well spent.

I know little about the MWA. Who runs the place and are they self appointed, supreme ruler and chancellor?

He also said he does want to artificially attract birds to the state. It's called a migration you nimrod. What does this clown think they do in other states. Now I know why I never gave a dime to the MWA.

My guess is he's referring to the "short stopping" of ducks in migration, something Arkansas hunters started biatching about when MO's MSM projects started being so effective.

Wouldn't want to increase opportunities for local hunters........ they all ready have enough chance. Cuz really, how many ducks is enough?

Maplelakeduckslayer....... you up for sponsoring some MSM on your land if we put a group together? 9Man or Greatwhitehunter3, you guys have or have access to a spot? I know a guy that might be in to it, but he doesn't hunt ducks enough to volunteer the land, he'd charge rent.

One thing to consider, particularly in MN, conversion of any existing row crop land to MSM will involve A LOT of drain tile.

I've seen it work in Minnesota in 3 locations very well. It would provide far more hunting opportunities than at Christina or pelican. A 1,000 acre impoundment with multiple hunting blinds, have a draw run each day 1 hour before shooting light. Have no hunting Wednesdays. I'm sure you could get some old dude like fowler to run the blind draws each morning as a volunteer. Have flooded impoundments of corn, rice or smart weed depending on what works best.

For the love of god think slightly differently than trying to restore mud-holes. It aint working. They spent 2.5 million on Christina alone in this recent attempt. I know they say it provides hunting around there but really those on the lake benefit the most.

#1 soil that holds water, #2 water source, #3 grade change less than 1 ft #4 access to dirt moving equipment #5 good help. The recipe for MSM success.

Based on past experience award winning MN DNR biologist Ray Norgaard is an excellent resource on this subject.

Ducks will respond.
