As we wrap up our pilot year of duckDNA, we must reflect on how such a dream became reality. duckDNA was made possible by the contributions of many people, including over 3,800 applicants, over 250 participants, staff at Ducks Unlimited, Inc., researchers at the University of Texas at El Paso, and private donors. 

While we are so thankful to all who contributed, helped out, and applied, we extend a very special thank you to the following groups and individuals, whose generous philanthropic contributions funded duckDNA and made it possible to offer participation free of charge:

• Marc and Sherrie Pierce
• Brian Hornung 
• Ducks Misery
• Senachwine Club
• Swan Lake Club
• Kankakee Marsh Hunt Club
• Putnam Co. Duck Club
• Crane Lake Game Preserve
• Ducks Unlimited, Inc., Southern Regional Office
• Ducks Unlimited, Inc., National Headquarters

We thank you all for your enthusiastic interest and for making our first year of duckDNA an overwhelming success!
Sincerely,

The duckDNA Team
