Kill it, hell I will take all we can get at our place. I like for our holes in the timber to be a sea of green carpet. The gadwals absolutly love it, it has twice the protein than soybeans. Plus the birds can see it from way up, they fall out of the sky after that stuff. The mallards don't care for it very much but the gadwal do love it so I would not kill it.

haha.. this is the funniest chit i have ever seen

[Bama Duck]

Fine, you sound pretty smart, kill it, I have done the research and better yet seen the results. Not sure what you are calling alligator weed but I know what duck weed is and for the past ten years or so we have had a ton of it and the gads love it. Here is some more funny chit....

[KillZone]

that must be how yall do it over there in alabama

[Bama Duck]

No, that is on private land in N. Leflore County.

man this is the craziest thing i have heard also.... we have a place that used to be clear of , duckweed and all and used to slaughter gads, mallards,and woodys but now it has been taken over and we kill nothing at all....and in your leaflet if you read what their winter food sources are it says that it is the vegetative sources of table one.... and since im in the fish business and lake weed control i know that the weeds of table one are all submersed weed that are located in clean clear water..... also do to my grandfather being the biologist for ducksunlimited for 25 years and telling me everything but a wood duck had rather land in clean clear water...just my .02

i agree with grizwald.. we had a lease last year that had duck weed in one hole and it didn't produce near the number of duck in a hole in the same property produced

Killzero...you asked for advice don't come on here and ask questions then bash the answers you get. I was just telling you from first hand experience that the gads do like the stuff and like Po Monkey said in the Waterfowl section, as the water surface level expands in the fall and winter the stuff will spread out.

Here is some more info:
http://www.washjeff.edu/greenhouse/Lminor/

Check out where it lists the uses/fun facts about duckweed, how it has more protien per square meter than soybeans, makes sense that during winter migration surface vegetation feeding ducks like gadwall would like the stuff. But of course this is just my opinion, continue to bash it, don't ask questions on here if you don't want intelligent responses.

bama duck.. you are so psycho.. first of all i kill more than you so the kill zero stuff is just a ton of crap.. and po monkey is totally full of himself also.. i dont really care about the protein b/c it doesn't matter if they eat it if they don't even land in the hole.. i don't need you telling me what i need to do and don't do and if you like to kill gads go and shoote em.. we kill em big ducks as jim would say and to let you know your response is not intelligent

[Bama Duck]

i don't need you telling me what i need to do and don't do

Then don't ask.

so wait are you saying ducks will land to eat duck weed rather than soybeans????

[Bama Duck]

No, simply saying it has more protien and it stays alive well into winter and that it benefits surface or close to surface vegetation feeding waterfowl such as the gads and from my experience they seem to like it. We have a rice/bean field that we hunt near the timber holes and kill plenty of mallards, teal, and pintail in the field but not many gads, they all want the timber with the duckweed. I was just giving KillZone my opinion, obviously he doesn't need it.
