Put up a few wood duck boxes along a bayou, manage them, see the results, and call it good.

Time to put them up is in the next month or so.

At least you know the small amount of money and effort put forth is directly benefitting the local population.

There are probably also PLENTY of volunteer opportunities to improve public hunting areas....getting involved locally is the best way, in my opinion, for your efforts to have an impact. It allows concerned hunters some input into things like blind construction and placement and hunting days and hours. If left up to the underpaid employees of the state and federal government blinds will all be lumped together in the easiest places they can get to and will be as visible as no blind at all. And without some pressure from local hunters the days and hours when hunting is allowed will most likely be what is convenient for them.
