Shoutout to those up North who do Wood Duck nesting box work!

I just wanted to express my appreciation for the nesting box work Anthony and all y'all do up North! The Wood Duck continues to be the #1 species of harvest here in SC.

I maintain nearly 40 nesting boxes down here myself but I'm certain your Northern WODU's make the trek and winter in SC. I'd like to think that many of us had a hand in the success of a youth or adults "first duck" harvest.

In 2019 18,300 active hunters harvested an estimated total of 131,100 ducks.......67,206 were Wood Ducks

In 2020 23,100 active hunters harvested an estimated 141,300 ducks.......96,340 were Wood Ducks

My personal motto when I started working with nesting boxes here in SC: If they don't make it to jump day, they won't make it to hunt day.
