Kevin and others,

The wasteful dumping of ducks in the vicinity of the Mima Mounds
Natural Area Preserve is really sickening. I will share this
information with the local enforcement agent. Perhaps he can
spend some time in the area and get an idea of what is going
on.

Our Wildlife agents are so few and far between that I hold out
little hope that any kind of intense patrol is possible. Human
health and safety issues are just about consuming many of the
agents (things like shellfish harvest and sale from uncertified/
contaminated beds and response to calls about cougars in
residential areas or killing livestock or pets).
