Through Oct. 10, five new or renewing members of The Duck Hunters Organization will receive a Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 shotgun

BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA — There are plenty of excellent reasons to join Delta Waterfowl. We employ innovative, efficient duck production strategies, conserve the most critical breeding duck habitat, conduct cutting-edge waterfowl research and, as The Duck Hunters Organization, we passionately defend duck hunting anytime, anywhere it’s threatened.

However, for the next two weeks, there’s an added incentive to support Delta Waterfowl: As part of Delta’s “Ducks Over Decoys Membership Drive,” five U.S. residents who join The Duck Hunters Organization will win a Benelli Super Black Eagle 3! To be eligible for the gun drawing, participants must purchase or renew an existing Delta membership by visiting DeltaWaterfowl.org/DucksOverDecoys before 10 p.m. CST on Oct. 10, 2020.

The Ducks Over Decoys Membership Drive aims to do just that: Provide a boost to Delta Waterfowl and in turn fill the skies across North America with mallards, pintails, canvasbacks and teal.

“It’s never been more important to join Delta or renew your membership so that we can continue producing ducks and securing the future of waterfowling for you — plus your $35 contribution may just win you your dream shotgun,” said Dr. Scott Petrie, CEO of Delta Waterfowl. “We greatly appreciate the loyal support of Benelli USA, a generous Champion of Delta Corporate Sponsor.”

One of America’s most popular semi-automatic shotguns, the Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 is known for its ultra-reliability and toughness. The 3½-inch chamber 12-gauge features superb ergonomics, intuitive controls, a modern design and feel, and it’s built for waterfowling’s most rugged conditions. The donated Benellis sport 28-inch, vent-rib barrels and Realtree Max-5 camo.

“We deeply appreciate Delta’s commitment to ducks and duck hunters,” said Tom DeBolt, general manager of Benelli USA. “We’re happy to have a strong partnership with Delta Waterfowl, thankful for the work they do to ensure the rich traditions of waterfowling, and encourage anyone who loves duck hunting to join Delta today.”

Promotion of Delta’s Ducks Over Decoys Membership Drive will include a countdown of the top 10 ways your membership in The Duck Hunters Organization boosts the fall duck flight and enhances your waterfowl hunting opportunities.
