Why Wood Ducks are SC's MOST important duck

[cajunwannabe]

In 2019 18,300 active hunters harvested an estimated total of 131,100 ducks.......67,206 were Wood Ducks!

In 2020 23,100 active hunters harvested an estimated 141,300 ducks.......96,340 were Wood Ducks!


I am posting this try to raise awareness as to just how important Wood Ducks are to SC. Please consider adopting a dilapidated old wood duck box, many which are death traps for eggs, or build and install a new nesting box. It's work, but the rewards will be seen beyond our lifetime for generations to come. If the ducklings don't make it to jump day, they'll never make it to hunt day.
