As far as I am concerned, every dollar of MS Duck Stamp money ought to be spent on the breeding grounds...Without nest success, there are no birds to hunt...Its called "STARTING AT THE BEGINNING"...
Exactly how that money is spent- habitat protection and restoration or habitat maximization (predator control, nesting boxes, etc) is subject to debate but why spend a single penny of duck stamp money in MS when the nesting grounds are not secure?
