    Ducks    		 I've waited to comment until most everyone had a chance to vote. I voted S.E. Iowa. Certainly not because it is the best. I believe the western side of the state has that honor.....now. I vote S.E. because of my ties to the Big River. I have the Mississippi River running in my veins. I am a muddy, Mississippi river, backwater, mallards coming through the timber man. And S.E. is hands down better than N.E. Iowa. So that is were my vote went. N.W. would be a close 2nd, S.W. 3rd.

    Ryan Hale    		 I'm very curious on how people are voting on this topic.Is everyone choosing the area they live in? Or are picking the area of the Iowa you think holds the best #'s of waterfowl?
