I figured everything in that area either flooded too bad or wouldn't hold water but looks like this guy has it figured out. Gonna be impressive to watch.
At what point does the government see that if they don’t take the hunters money and spend it on doing this at the management areas or start losing dollars to people getting out of hunting due to not enough birds…
Love the video! Point of clarification: Duck-use-days are classified as “the amount of ducks an acre can feed ~for one day~”, not ~per day~. An acre of unharvested rice can feed 29,000 ducks for one day, once. But not continually.
Good two videos so far. I subscribed and am really looking forward to you getting more and more into the science of the why behind the habitat and the the habitat types. I think currently the state waterfowl managers are getting a bad rap for managing for moist soil but few public land hunters understand the why behind moist soil and even less how the money constraints on that side sort of dictate moist soil as the "better" play from a habitat/duck use to cost standpoint.
Love the video's. Let me know if you ever need anyone to come help manage some duck population. Got a 13 yo boy that loves hunting as much as I do. I would just love to see the property.
"I wonder why we don't have the same amount of ducks we used to?".... We do, they're spread out on these private refuges. Not complaining at ALL (I support it), just stating my point.
No the guys using ice melters keepin water open that would natrually be frozen are keepin birds north! Its very ez to recognize that since those have been created the migrations have been altered
@@Swoopdaddyywe don’t have people short stoping is here in northern Illinois and there is still less ducks. Idk if after 100 years of the historic marshes being gone they changed the flyway or what
Actually duck number are historically down and have been trending that way for sometime now private land has always been a thing and it’s nothing new as for all the idiots saying Ice eaters are holding birds up north I believed all that shit until I followed the migration myself one year
Love what y’all are doing!!! Let me know if you ever have any room! lol conservation of habitat is what all the state governments are overlooking and it’s sad! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you! We've got a plan in place to continually improve it every year! Make sure to subscribe we'll be releasing more films and updating our progress as we improve the Island!
