Wood ducks sometimes won't use boxes if there are not trees on the pond around the box. Finicky they can be. On a hunting property lease a couple years ago, we put out or cleaned out around 35 boxes. We had @70% usage of the boxes. Put game cameras on a few on video setting and got several duckling drops! Cool to see that. Woodie hunting that fall was spectacular!
Happy New Year,
God Bless

Congrats on your upcoming retirement and good luck with your property search! In your experience... Does this setup look like one the woodies would use? Box is on the far shore, to the left. Trees are about 15' behind it. It will get a guard on it before spring gets here.
