USDA banning harvested wild game bird imports from Canada

“It’s sadly all of the law-abiding, ethical waterfowl hunters who will feel the weight of this whip-lash policy change from APHIS.

What a terrible waste!  The Duck Hunters Organization will do all it can to try to see that reasonable regulations are reinstated as soon as possible.” — John Devney, Delta Waterfowl chief policy officer
