Most ducks establish their nests on or close to water.
Upland game birds like pheasants, doves, quail, grouse and partridge can be stockpiled. The biggest threat to whitetail populations in this country is over-hunting. The attitude that saving does is good for the population dates back to earlier in the century, when the whitetail population in the US stood at half a million animals. Today there are some 25 million whitetails in the country and that number is growing every year. Over-harvesting of antlered deer throws the population out of balance, destroying natural selection.
