Mentored duck hunting took place this past weekend at Delta Marsh.

"Since 2000 we've actually been running mentored hunts, having experienced adult hunters taking youngsters in the Portage community out," says Jim Fisher, Director of Conservation Policy with Delta Waterfowl. "We've taken literally hundreds and hundreds of kids. Now some of the kids are actually mentors, so they've come back around full circle to help."

Fisher explains over the last 40 years, duck hunter numbers have dwindled frrom over 50,000 to 10,000. He adds it's great to see the legacy continue by seeing youth involved in the mentored duck hunt.
