In order to stay legal while waterfowl hunting, and not shoot waterfowl that aren't legal, you need to practice identifying ducks in the off season.

Marco Polo Season Reopens in Tajikistan in 2010
Safari Club International Foundation (SCIF) today commended Tajikistan Ambassador to the United States Abdujabbor Shirinov, and the country of Tajikistan, for lifting the moratorium on the hunting of Marco Polo argali. The 2010 season will officially open this Autumn.
“The government of Tajikistan is excited to announce the opening of a Marco Polo sheep hunting season for Fall 2010,” said Ambassador Shirinov. “Safari Club International Foundation has demonstrated their commitment to wildlife in the Pamir Mountains, and my country looks forward to the continued growth of our collaborative conservation projects.”
SCIF Conservation Committee Chairman Joseph Hosmer and SCIF Conservation Director Dr. Bill Moritz recently returned from Tajikistan where they helped to increase awareness about reopening Marco Polo hunting in key meetings with government officials, including Deputy Prime Minister M. Alimardon and the Chairman of Committee on Environment Protection of Tajikistan, Mr. Khursandmurod Zikirov.
Safari Club International Foundation is committed to a successful Marco Polo sheep survey for 2010 in Tajikistan. The first phase of the project was completed in August with the assessment of Marco Polo lambing success in the Eastern Pamir Mountains. A second phase will involve a population assessment in December 2010.
“It is with great thanks to the government of Tajikistan, Deputy Prime Minister Alimardon and Ambassador Shirinov that we have successfully begun the Marco Polo sheep survey for Tajikistan. We are also extremely excited and thankful to learn of the reopening of the hunting season for 2010,” said SCI Foundation President Dr. Larry Rudolph.

POMA Conference 2010 by Mitch Strobl
It has been said that there is power in numbers. In the case of the Professional Outdoor Media Association, the saying rings true. POMA is a proven leader in the outdoor industry, providing a family for those pursuing a career in the outdoor industry. Prostaffers Justin Morrissey, Chris Telinda and I had the pleasure of attending the 2010 POMA conference as guest students. Before departing at the end of the conference, the three of us said our goodbyes and kind of looked at each other in amazement. It finally hit us; we just had an exceptional weekend at the POMA conference, more so than any of us could have imagined prior to the event.
Upon arrival, we attended a seminar directed towards those less than 35 years of age. Well respected people such as Mr. Jim Zumbo, Hunter Specialties Phillip Vanderpool, Tony Smotherman, Brandon Butler, Will Brantley, Keli Van Cleave, and many others talked directly to us in a three hour seminar.

SPOT Messenger Promotion
Shameless promotion of great products has never once bothered me. I will not hawk junk but I will not hesitate to push the products that I absolutely love.
SPOT Messengers are GPS Tracking Devices and these units are important to all hunters, backpackers, fishersmen, Paddlers, climbers, skiers and outfitters. They can show you a tracking history for where you have been and if you are in trouble they will allow you to send out messages to alert friends, family, and be rescued should you need that assistance.
This unit does everything it says it will and is a great tool giving you the peace of mind you and your family needs when you are in the outdoors.
Our Promotional Code for SPOT Messenger is HuntingLife23 and that provides you with a full year of tracking!!!
Check out the SPOT MESSENGER!!!
