    Does anyone know what is going on with these projects? This was supposed to be a project partnership between Iowa DNR and Ducks Unlimited.

    Just wondering if these areas are worth duck hunting? I fish them from time to time but have never tried to waterfowl hunt the area. I know Adams is closed to Canadas because of the locals.
