Letter from Frederic Leopold to the editor of the St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch regarding hunting and the effect on duck populations, April 27, 1988. The letter voices concerns about the laws governing the hunting of migratory waterfowl. F. Leopold references his brother, Aldo Leopold, and his book "Game Management" as well as the philosophy of limiting factors. F. Leopold expresses his belief that the limiting factor in the declining duck population is a lack of living, breeding ducks due to excessive hunting and not a shortage of suitable nesting areas.
