EP 497. Habitat Management Advantages--of All Natural
"We raise weeds, most folks try to grow corn," says renowned wildlife biologist and Arkansas Waterfowler Hall of Fame, Jody Pagan, who among other things has so far laid hands on over a million acres private-lands waterfowl habitat during his career! Life-long Arkansa duck hunter Pagan talks about his background in hunting and habitat management before barreling full steam ahead into need-to-know advantages of natural habitat management. Building on previous waterfowl habitat management episode topics, we discuss habitat changes and shifting waterfowl distribution, favoring historic habitat ecosystems, working with nature instead of against it, matching management with soil types, fertilization and plant nutrition, managing properties with respect to surrounding properties and features, common mistakes and management pitfalls, waterfowl imprinting, holding water and managing water levels, disturbances, and much, much more. Landowners, managers, club members, and duck hunters in general--everyone will appreciate the insightful, hard-eared perspectives shared today. Listen and let us know your thoughts below.
