Over the years we have had many post on this site. Post on how to build or fix boats decoys etc. There have been post on dogs and hunts and many other fine and important things. But I would like to make this post about what have we done for the ducks. In my case over the last forty years or so. I have worked with a group of sportsmen that have built and placed over a thousand wood duck boxes. We have built mallard nest and even tried to build goose nest. We have placed over ten thousand seeds and plants over the years. On ponds, lakes, swamps ,rivers. We have tried and tried to do our best to give back to what we love. We have got children to help us and even a few gentlemen in their eighties. I know most of you do your thing to help out. I am asking you to tell us what you do. Maybe we can share new ways to give back and to keep are sport alive for ever. Thank you all. Happy Fathers Day.View attachment December 2018 photos from Galaxy 841.jpg
 
We experienced a horrendous die off a few years back. The winter was brutal and the timing of a few back to back storms and extraordinary cold locked up the back and froze everything. There was just no food. A few of us rallied and secured tons of corn to spread. We did what we could but these pictures are from the surrounding 100 yards of my house, it went on and on.....

On a side note, I had 500lbs of corn in my truck with the cap on it so I could mobilize if needed. The mice found it and made a nest in my engine and ate the wire harness for $1500 and laid up for 3 days. No good deed..........
 
Sucks about your truck Paul. I did the same during that winter and put out over 1000 lbs of corn. I've done it every year we had any reports of starving birds but that year was pretty bad.

You did a great job. Sorry about your truck. But your heart was in the right place.Mice can wreck almost anything. But I guess they wanted to get close to all that free corn. But you saved birds. Your a hero in the waterfowl world. Thanks for caring.
