December

2021 Newsletter

December already? This year I’m thankful for how WWA has weathered the second year impacts of this pandemic. January will conclude my third year at the helm of WWA. While my initial five year plan went to shambles after the pandemic took hold, almost immediately, volunteers, members and staff stepped up in various ways to not only provide for WWA’s survival, but to make it stronger in ways that were unforeseeable. Read on to learn how you helped us in 2021.

And don't miss your chance to get our 2022 Conservation Calendar edition before they sell out. Offering 365 prizes at $20 each, they make perfect holiday gifts!

I hope you enjoy our December edition...

I's a Wrap...

By Bruce Ross, Executive Director

...At least to my North and South Zone hunting season. There’s still a couple of weeks left in the new Open Water Zone and I still hope to get in some travel waterfowling before putting waders and decoys up for the winter.

I hope your season has been a little more productive than mine. But even without many birds in the bag, I can celebrate the personal recharge this season provided.

Words From the Wardens

The late season arrives on the heels of the dropping temperatures and is known in my warden world as one of the most dangerous times to be out. However, the danger can evaporate as quickly as the first snow on warm ground if we all just remember some safety. Read on...

Lee Dudley, North Carolina Carver

A Decoy Corner article by Bruce Urben
