I am not really sure if this is the place to be posting this but I figured there would be some smart people who could answer my questions.
Hi, I just resently got permisson on a new pond to hunt ducks and geese. The pond is about 10ft deep in the middle and about 2 acre's large. There are several areas on the pond that are 3-12 inches deep. I talked to the land owner and he told me that I could plant whatever kind of "fowl food" I wanted to on it. I live in southern nebraska and I am looking for a good food source for ducks and geese. The first 2 months its good for ducks then the geese start to fly over often. I was looking into planting some wild rice maybe but im not quite sure what would be the best "fowl food" to plant. Also if there is something that is a very good "fowl food" but it is illegal to hunt over because it would be considered baiting I would like to plant that then. NO im not going to hunt it illegaly I would then just set this pond aside so that it could maybe become a roost or loafting area for ducks and geese. I have no problem doing this for then I can scout them from the pond to the fields. Also I would rather plant something the comes back every year.
Thanks, I hope I have give you enough information so that you can help me out in my search for a good "fowl food"
