awesome stuff man, hope your hard work pays off

[marsh chicken]

Nice job. Looks great

[willk]

That looks great. I wish that crazy fella Benny was still on here to give his input. He had a great thread about water control and planting holes like this. I'm gonna put some pressure on a friend to tackle his beaver pond.

No, it wasn't planted before. But there was lots of natural food before, and still is. Much more than the millet. I get it. It won't be over hunted. Thanks for the advice 2th.

Love it but I'd have just sunk back into those small trees on the edge on a swamp seat, maybe built a bench so nothing is talle than surrounding vegetation vs a blind right in the middle. That's just me though. How I like to hunt swamps.

Agreed. My BIL built it last year without consulting me. I did brush it in as best I could. It is also facing due east.

I wanted to see how the ducks work before I went through the trouble of moving it. I don't expect the wood ducks to care. They hang out on it already. We will adjust wihen mallards show.

Nice work Phillip.

Give me a shout if you need any duck potato or arrow arrum seed in the Spring. I froze plenty this year

I just came across this thread. I like what you've done! For me, nothing in the waterfowl hunting world.....not out-of-state hunting, not DNR drawn duck hunts, not paid preserve shooting.....beats improving or creating duck habitat on your own land.

After a few years of "beaver ponding" we ponied up a little money for heavy equipment to begin creating a greentree impoundment with a small field that can be planted in corn. Nothing beats working on, and hunting, your own land!

BTW - Beavers are a double-edged sword. Getting them to work with you instead of against you can be a real challenge!!

I've killed mallards and black ducks in January,all the way to the last day of the season, that feel like bean bags because they are stuffed with AA.

[JABIII]

You shut your whore mouth.

[NUTZ]

Exactly. It is impossible for AA to go past December 2nd at 11:18am because it's a perennial.

[Calibogue]

I got a Swamp with more AA than all the fuckin golf course honkers in the state could consume!!!
Where y'all get this idea from is beyond my comprehension!

[Calibogue]

Speaking of ducks full of food.... I walked up to and shot a hen mallard in VA years ago that was so stuffed with soybeans she was puking them and couldn't fly..... No shit!

[Calibogue]

Bwahhhhhhh..... I was scared to pick that nasty bitch up!
Thought she had the hivs or something....
