Just a general observation but I've yet to have seen a wood duck clutch this year at our place and we normally see multiples. Plenty of adults around, up to a dozen on the pond at times but nary a chick. I'm still wondering if there isn't some other environmental influence causing declines in turkey recruitment, at least in some areas. I know the low country sure seemed to have way more birds this year judging by posts here and folks I know who hunt the lower part of the state. Burning ain't a widespread issue up here. May just be an upstate thing and weather/predator related but they were definitely thin up here this year. This coming from a guy who has always argued SC supported a 5 tag limit for 30+ years and why not now.
