I kill my divers on a pond. The 2 mallard limit won’t bother me as I’m lucky to kill 2 a season. We shoot ringnecks, gadwalls, redheads and wood ducks.

If 20 wild mallards mixed with black mallards comes in and sets down, I promise to only shoot 2 of each..

Andrew Hook the new Waterfowl Biologist SCDNR hired for that area has complete control of the Broad River Cat 1. He was previously employed by SCWA. His new management plan for Broad River Cat 1 is to manage for ringnecks. He is opposed to managing for the mallards and blacks that are still migrating there, because they are harder to hunt. He wants ringnecks for better harvest results..........you can't make this crap up!

Lots of people as of late finding things that are unattractive and lackadaisical pertaining to our dnr's practices for ducks and habitat. The people we elect to office should be our voice for change. It's easy to think that doesn't hold water but there is strength in numbers y'all.
Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
I was told they are planting “grass type” Foods bc it is a more “natural” food source. I assume corn or rice would be the preferred crop to be planted for mallards and blacks?

They planted corn this year but not as much as years past. Some areas were left alone for natural vegetation/food or because they couldn't get the water off of these areas to plow.
Other areas are plowed but I didn't see anything growing when I was there a couple weeks ago. The field south of the tracks has corn planted in strips with plowed dirt between. Not sure what the plan is there but I know some chufa was planted in that field last year.

What that genius will learn is the 300+ geese up there will chow every chufa nut in the ground, long before a migratory duck even sees that place.

THIS IS PURELY OPINION:
Its hard to be a duck manager if you keep reinventing the wheel with ideas like "moist soil management" or natural vegetation or grasses or open areas, etc etc etc.
It shouldnt be rocket science when CORN has been shown to be the best attractant out there. I swear people know this but when february rolls around and their fat asses dont like the idea of hours upon hours of tractor work, they start thinking of lazy ass ways to do something different they read about.
If I managed BR, I would plant corn everywhere. The "wet spots that wouldnt dry out" is code for "I didnt feel like unhooking the planter and putting the disc back on."
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
