Anyone know of any wildlife value to this plant?

Thanks. I was hoping they would support mulching since it is such a large area. I'll get in touch with the local NRCS folks.

I am helping a friend on some land he purchased a few years ago. It is WRP and the previous landowners did little to nothing to mange the habitat. Baccharis has made a strong surge over that time and is out competing more wildlife beneficial vegetation. in some areas is has all but taken over with s...

Thanks for the link.

I wont hijack this topic with my input/questions on older WRP

Pondman,

Was the discussion about older WRP and habitat loss on the QDMA forms?

What if it is second year volunteer? As in the year after it was planted?

Been hunting the river for about 12 years now. My father and grandfather were river hunters. #1 rule : RESPECT will get you a lot further than fear. #2 It is not IF you wind up stuck on the river, its just a matter of when. BE PREPARED. I haul extra clothes and emergency blankets, fire starter etc. ...

No splits this year. Interesting. I'm good with it. at least no matter when i come home off a well site the season will be open at home.

Still have not seen the proposed dates.

Anyone have info?

Moist soil is as much an art as a science with a liberal dosing of diligence, record keeping and luck. The link above is a great place to start and a very well put together guide. I have managed places from a few acres to over 1000 and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that well managed moi...

Wingman - you are spot on. I have looked at a ton of WRP over the last few years and the range of quality of management is so strange. Some pieces are prime and others look like they have not been touched since they were built. Its a shame. I have seen the potential of what good WRP can do and it is...

Thanks. That's the range I kinda figured.

But if anyone else has other thoughts I'd like to hear them as well.

So i am just curious. What is WRP going for per acre on average for a duck lease? Anybody know the range?

Appreciate it.

Back side of pit was packed tight and it was all duck decoys. Farthest decoy on back was 85 yards but we had an open hole near the pit. Out front we had two "wings" nothing over 50 yards. Shots were close for pit hunting anyway, 20-30 yards on big ducks, right on your lap with teal. On the...

Did a spread for a pit on a private club i was game keeper for of just over 1,000. It worked I guess. But it only really made a difference on the days when the wind had normally been wrong for that pit. There was a big open water tank to the north of us and on some winds the birds would drop off in ...
