People want to deal with the issues rather than ignore them.
How do you propose MN fix the problem?
I'm not sure why Missouri is being touted as some kind of duck mecca. It really isn't. Having a handful of well managed properties that attract waterfowl means nothing. It means they're in the duck hunting business, nothing more.
The biggest factor in MO's success is likely due to the advancements in rice cultivation on the Grand Prairie. Combined with large populations of Snow Geese, what drew ducks south aside from instinct is no longer there. Plus, the areas of MO that see large numbers of ducks throughout the migration now...always have seen large numbers of flight ducks.
People in MN are true hypocrits. They want more, but are unwilling to sacrifice for the betterment of all. This is obvious anytime the subject of a noon/1pm closure or draw system is mentioned. The DNR has no spine to take the drastic measures often required to make a plan successful. Much of this stems from fact that too many people in the state are not interested in the business of killing ducks. A true lack of dedication to duck hunting.
