"TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT" WINNERS ANNOUNCED

Thank you to everyone who participated in California Waterfowl's "Take Your Best Shot" Photo Contest! Hunters across the state invited non-hunters to join them for a day of wonder in the wetlands and the resulting photos are ones that you will soon see in our magazine and other publications: outstanding photos that are evidence of that shared dialogue of the day and the mutual understanding created.
