looks good. out of curiosity, are yall going to cut the rice or is it strictly for hunting? I leave mine, but it would be nice to be closer to some equipment and dryers....rice can get a little pricey.

We have one pond that we are experimenting with this year that we planted a section of rice instead of millet to see how it does. We didn't plant it near as thick as farmers do that plan to harvest because we didn't want to choke out any natural vegetation from growing along with it.

you get out what you put in with most things, especially duck hunting. there are some habitats like GTR that don't require as much work and maintenance, but fields/flats whatever you call it take a lot to have I perfect.

The prep-work NEVER stops! We disced a handful more ponds over the last couple days and will be planting around/during the rain today and tomorrow. Pulled water on a couple more ponds last week so we can plant now that they are a mud flat. Knocked out some levee maintenance on a few ponds as well. Depending on when/where/how much rain we get will depend when the next couple of pits go into the ground. Still have a handful more ponds that will be getting disced & planted over the next week or two that will be set aside for big duck season. Rice harvest is in full swing right now and we can already smell the mosquito spray and gun powder that fills the air during teal season! NO ONE puts in more time or effort than we do to make sure everything is done right. We have no offseason! Prep-work for the next season begins pretty much as soon as one season ends. We don't cut corners and we are ate up with providing the absolute BEST waterfowl habitat the Texas Gulf Coast has to offer. With right at 100 duck ponds, that's right you read it correctly we have right at 100 ponds, we have plenty of ponds to make sure the birds get ample rest!
