A book entitled "Voices From the Bayou." by Charles Frank. His father owned a huge shipping company in New Orleans. Charlie, himself an older man whose main passion is collecting hand-carved duck decoys. In the process of that, he started recording stories from the old-time market hunters. These guys had a quaota of 100 ducks a day for which they were paid a quarter each and given the feathers. The salted or iced ducks were then sent by boat to New Orleans-his father's shipping company and then shipped by rail to New York.
Now to the trivia question that started this thread. Who do you think proposed the first limits on ducks in LA? Who do you think started wildlife management in this country?

Probably someone who thought they could make money off of it.

No idea, but a restaurant over in West Nashville serves "salted duck", and it's suppose to be pretty good.
