I just got a reply to a polite but impassioned Email I did to Ducks Unlimited from: Ron Stromstad Director of Operations Western Regional Office Ducks Unlimited, Inc. 3074 Gold Canal Drive Rancho Cordova, CA 95670 He claims that DU is completely neutral re: AB363; he describes his org as completely neutral and himself as a past owner of a mild biter fert he describes as "interesting". He also claims that DFG has not pressured DU whatsoever and describes their relationship as cordial and notes his willingness to believe there's a slight threat of feral populations. I sent the complete text to Jeanne Carley ([log in to unmask], right?) along with header info so if we have to verify authenticity we can. Assuming his info is accurate and that no other faction in DU is hurting us, this should close the chapter on the DU issue. If there *is* still BS coming from elsewhere in DU this document should help shut it up. Email me for a copy with header data if anyone else wants it. ----------------------------------------- For a wild true story of crooked cops, stolen guns, perjury, fraud and false criminal charges, see http://www.infinex.com/~jmarch [Posted in FML issue 1955]
