Why do you think they are a joke? Just curiousFish Felon wrote:I'm not big on them....used to be....but think they're a total joke at this point. The banquets are fun and the committees/volunteers are all solid dudes....they're just that worthless of an organization that despite very much liking the social aspects of supporting them, I can't bring myself to do it.
I was just curious I had been to one banquet and was thinking of getting involved but maybe not now. I did put up a few hen houses on my own about 10 years ago. Made them myself They both got used but I never maintained them after a few years as I lived like 90 miles from them. Both are surely underwater now.Fish Felon wrote:Mass hen house sites are a joke. The manpower, time, money invested in them is a waste since they rarely get maintained....become an eye sore a year or two after being put up. Basically it's the same as littering. Delta touts the best of the best for their hatch rates but those almost never happen because the mass hen house sites never are maintained.
Delta's research is a joke. So....you mean to tell me a prey animal population increases when you reduce predator numbers? No shit. It's kindergarten level biology/wildlife management that they study ad nauseum.
They don't apply predator management very widely since everywhere they've done it they've pissed off the landowners in their trapping block and gotten the boot. Talk to any landowner who was enrolled in a trapping block of land and they won't have anything good to say about the organization.
They say they are the hunter organization but they get caught up in politics way too much, and typically look extremely stupid when doing it.
Their youth hunts do nothing to create new hunters, but the kids and kid's friends of the committee members get a bunch of cool free shit so it works out for them.
They have a $10 million annual budget that goes to paying their staff...who from what I've seen are a bunch of drunks who aren't able to find gainful employment elsewhere. For ten million they really don't do shit...like nothing. If Delta was gone tomorrow there'd be nothing they'd leave behind to show they even existed. Where as DU....if the $10 million in fundraising Delta has essentially siphoned off of DU....they didn't gain any new donors, they conned existing DU members into spending their money with them and did so by talking trash about DU....
...and that's Delta in a nutshell, "They're Not DU," and no....no they're not. That's not something they should be pointing out imo let alone be something they brag about.
