    Default Broad River Waterfowl Management Area

    Cliff notes: Corn looks better than it has in the 5ish years I've been going out to look at the fields. The rice does not look as good as last year. The wet area in the north east field did not have as much smartweed as years past. Sorghum looks good, I've never seen it planted to this extent since I've been going out there.

    The lines drawn on the map are a good representation yet still approximate. (attached PDF, hopefully it loads correctly)

    Pics from last year are located in this thread: https://scducks.com/forum/showthread...pdated-reports

    Corn field: Very minor deer damage, all I saw were a few stalks that were eaten down in the earlier stages of growth. The pictured cob was less than 10ft into the field, all other cobs looked full as well. This is a big difference between last year where hardly any stalks made cobs and when they did they were very small. This field had carp jumping in it in the first week of May, so a good job to get it to where it is now. Lots of sicklepod, and in the plowed areas around the field that's all I could see coming up even though it appeared to have been planted with something recently.

    Sorghum field: Last year this was corn and rice. The corn was absolutely consumed by weeds and might as well have not been planted. Maybe this was a crop rotation to help with weeds or just planted for variety. Either way, looks good with most all plants having full seed heads.

    Rice: Not that great. Seems like different areas were planted at different times, some had matured and some had not.

    Thanks for the update!!! Looks much better than previous years!

    I second that emotion. Only sweat now would be worms, looks like the table is set for the ducks.

    Is it worth burning up your points?

    based on the september crop report when anyone in this area has the "best crop of corn ever?"

    that's certainly up to you....
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    That would have hurt my feelings but I read all the online reviews about you. They said you're an ass and it took most of the sting out preemptively.

    Corn that looks like hammered shit in September will be hammered shit in November. This corn does not and therefore has a chance come November. The thread was simply to show that progress has been made. Maybe by Stick9's efforts or simply a change in management or give a damn by the worker.

    Take a hike down Strother Rd and give me your perspective. I'm very interested in the perspective of others.

    He’s a cranky old dentist who gives a damn what he thinks. I’ll give more credence to the shit CNN spews than the crap he says.

    Great Post. Thank you for taking the time.
    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.

    If he does that's what it would say. I just know he's a huge proponent of online reviews and I'm trying to return an iota of what he gives out daily.

    I love being misunderstood.

    I appreciate your post. I am glad you care enough to take pics and draw a cool map.
    My response was to cat III who asked about "burning his points" to hunt there. My reply was timely and correct. This has been a good year to grow corn. Ergo, good corn in the Broad River WMA is expected. The impoundments in the area also have good corn. So, its hard to tell cat III to "burn his points" to hunt there. That would be his decision and his alone.

    Watch out for thinking i'm an ass BEFORE you read my post. It might help your comprehension better.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
