EP 48. Terry Denmon, Duck Habitat & Blue-winged Teal Hunting
Great duck habitat doesn't happen by accident. Terry Denmon and Ramsey Russell assessed habitat conditions on a central Louisiana property about a decade ago. Waterfowl utilization left something to be desired. Management was sorely needed. Denmon has since tirelessly implemented moist-soil management practices, transforming the property, and rolling out the red carpet for overwintering ducks. What is moist-soil management and why does Denmon prefer this to row crop agricultural crops? What are the plant species he tries to produce, and how are problematic plant species controlled? Blue-winged teal season opens in September but big ducks don't show up until late-November. How does he manage for both? Blue-winged teal hunting season is in full swing nationwide as Denmon and Ramsey talk common-sense habitat management and, of course, duck hunting in this informative episode of Duck Season Somewhere.
