Is anyone here involved with it? Thoughts?

[thawhacker]

Never heard of it

[BOGSTER]

I had somebody ask me about em back in the winter.

I too, have never heard of em.

Google search pulls nothing either.

Maybe it is real then. The ones we know sure as hell haven't made a piece of difference...

Marc Johnson’s heading this up and is definitely lined up with the right folks . Has a study with Dr Phil Lavretsksy at University of Texas El Paso studying mallard genetics. Had approximately 350 samples from mallards ,black ducks and mottled ducks killed in South Carolina this past season to figure out the percentage of game farm mallard (tamie) dna present . Phil is coming to SC in may to present his findings . They are also in contact with biologists in Arkansas discussing rest areas . Trying to establish similar areas here in SC . Areas with no disturbance whatsoever.

Is there going to be a formal meeting when Phil Lavretsky is here? I'd be interested in attending. Who is Marc Johnson?

Technically challenged. This is in response to Palmetto Waterfowl Conservation thread. Dr. Lavretsky will be making 6 presentation in May. There is a public presentation May 14 in Bewberry. Waterfowl Advisory Committee. 11:00 am. SC Forestry Commission. We are taping a meeting at the Kennedy Waterfowl and Wetlands Conservation Center. Figuring out hot to distribute.
