Currently, the other methods used to locate nests and study duck populations are time- consuming, expensive and extremely labor-intensive. Nests can be difficult to spot and in hard-to-reach places. The grant will fund Delta Waterfowl studies to assess how drone technology could make this process much easier. As a whole, the Delta Waterfowl drone studies have many goals, such as finding over-water nesting Spotting this nesting canvasback hen can be ducks, monitoring densities difficult, thanks to good camouflage. of waterfowl predators and detecting the nests of upland-nesting birds like mallards, pintails, teal, pheasants, songbirds and piping plovers. “Delta Waterfowl’s willingness to commit time and money to study emerging technology with the goal of integrating that technology into waterfowl research is both admirable and exactly the type of forward thinking that wildlife management needs,” said Richard Cheatham, president of the DSC Foundation. In 2016, a team led by Dr. Frank Rohwer, Delta’s president and chief scientist, performed an initial test-flight using with drones over grassland cover. Rohwer was able to pinpoint nesting ducks indicated by the thermal imaging camera’s heat signature. “Using drones is innovative, and a potential game-changer. Delta is pleased to have the backing of the DSC Foundation, whose shared goals include supporting science- based research, conserving wildlife and securing the future of hunting in North America,” said Joel Brice, Delta’s vice president of waterfowl and hunter recruitment programs.

Brenda Heard, speaking on behalf of his boarding school offers more than a typical standard education. As son of Ladies Luncheon Committee Tthe founders and current President, Todd Shipman says, “Happy Hill Farm’s mission is to find high-potential students in low-opportunity situations and raise them up to be future leaders with compassion for others.” To produce leaders with character that are ready to give back to society and lift the next generation out of poverty, Happy Hill Farm deals with the mind, the body, and the heart. They gather bright and talented students from underprivileged backgrounds, showing them a safe environment with adults who support them and encourage them to dream big through a strong education and solid character building amongst a diverse student body. Ed and Gloria Shipman founded the boarding school on Happy Hill Farm to provide a safe, secure home for underprivileged boys and girls, and a superior education. Including the mix of local students from the surrounding areas and international students, 85 percent of students are on scholarship. Without any local, state, or federal funding, the dedicated operations run thanks to caring donors. DSC members play a part each by giving donations for gift cards Mark Alyn, Move In/Move Out Co-Chair during the Christmas season. CT
Christmas Giving for Happy Hill Farm It is time once again to reach out to these wonderful children. Happy Hill Farm has requested that we provide gift cards because they are easier to handle and do not necessitate that the names and gifts be matched up, wrapped or checked for appropriateness. Gift cards are the most requested item on their wish lists. This format allows the school to treat the entire student body equally. Donations can be cash or a check made out to DSC, or you may purchase gift cards from Wal-Mart or Target for $20 or $25. Please be sure to indicate the amount of the Rondell Bush, Coffee Carts Chair gift is somewhere on the card. The Happy Hill Farm angels of DSC will purchase more gift cards with the money we receive. You may send or drop off your donations to the DSC office any time. We will also collect donations at the monthly meetings. We need to have all cards/cash in to DSC by Dec. 10, 2017. This year, we will have about 150 children between the ages of 5-18. Thank you so much for your donations in the past and again this year.

CHAPTER NEWS
DSC Heartland: Bridging the Gap by “Getting Youth Outdoors” BY COREY GOSS, PRESIDENT DSC HEARTLAND
he DSC Heartland Chapter is a group of people from all walks of life that have come together with like-minded beliefs, opinions and values when it comes to the Tfuture in the outdoors. We know that two things need to happen. We must first give any kid that wants to experience the outdoors the opportunity to do so. Whether it be in the form of fishing, camping, hiking, biking, hunting, photography, bird watching or whatever other aspirations they have, we need to see that they get that chance. One of the kids that we provide an outdoor opportunity to just might be the one kid that grows up to run this country and keep the outdoors alive for all of us to enjoy. Even the worst case, we have put a huge smile on a young face and given them one of the best days they have ever had. Every one of you reading this article now would not be doing so if it was not for someone taking you to experience the outdoors for your first time. We all owe our passion for the outdoors to someone and that someone was the person that thought of us over themselves. Heartland’s initiative “Getting Youth Outdoors” will continue this legacy. Secondly, while we are a chapter of Dallas Safari Club, we are also a part of a larger hunting family of many organizations throughout the world, We all have one main goal. That goal is to keep hunting alive and to preserve our right to enjoy the outdoors. We feel it is important to work with other outdoors organizations to support each other instead of trying to outdo each other. Competition creates friction where teamwork produces results. For example, one of Heartland DSC’s goals is to raise money ($20,000, to be precise) to purchase an Action Track mobility chair so that we can make the outdoors accessible for kids of all physical abilities and or disabilities. With that being said along with our focus on teamwork, we would make the Action Track chair accessible to other hunting groups and organizations such as the local Wild Turkey Federation, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, or Whitetails Unlimited, for example. Heartland DSC is very new as far as chapters go. On July 20, 2017 we received our 501(c)(3) status and incorporated in the state of Iowa. While new, we have been very busy the last few months promoting our goal to get youth outdoors, with three successful summer events. • In June, we held a youth fishing clinic and bow fishing tournament, with 34 kids in attendance. For many of them it was their first experience fishing. While everyone An archery clinic was held for youths, who received donated door prizes, new rods and reels were awarded for the biggest fish practiced their shooting skills on balloons, in a number of different species. For the bow fishing tournament, there were 14 and had a great time. competitors, and 17-year-old Wyatt won the grand prize − a two-day, two-person alligator gar bow fishing trip in Texas. Good luck and enjoy, Wyatt! • Big Oak Archery in Glenwood, Iowa hosted our youth archery clinic in July. Participants ranged from several who had never shot a bow to kids that shoot at a For more information about tournament level. They were all taught safety fundamentals and finished the day DSC chapters, please visit with a fun shoot during which they shot balloons. Prizes ranged from hunting videos to stands for their bows. www.biggame.org/chapters • Also in July, one of our founding members, Kim Gibson and family, opened their family retreat and trophy lodge for Heartland DSC to host our first Annual or contact Kim Rappleye, Membership Drive. Children were invited to fish at their beautiful ponds. All the [email protected], kids caught fish ranging from catfish to bluegill and even largemouth bass.

BIGGAME.ORG SEPTEMBER 2017 | 33 DSC FOUNDATION
Change Is In The Air BY RICHARD T. CHEATHAM, DSC FOUNDATION PRESIDENT
In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. The excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wild life, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination. − Theodore Roosevelt
