Martin this is exactly what I like.....it’s what I do.....keep up the habit videos.......
Martin, so nice to see you again!!! God bless you & your family!!!
Keep the nerdy stuff coming. Good information.
I’m eating these habitat videos up. My grandpa hunted an old oxbow and sloughs in the timber river bottoms on the family farm. I’m now living here taking my kids to the same holes and trying to make little improvements all the time. We have some limiting factors in place like lack of a water control structure, some parts have silted in over the years, no way to pump, multiple huge flooded fields nearby from clubs, etc. But it’s a great way to spend time, trying to make little improvements as we go and keeping it as a special place for my children. With some good fall rains, it fills right back up and holds water through the year (except this year with a terrible drought.) We always shoot some ducks, just tweaking things to stay competitive!
Desirable and undesirable plant identification would be awesome. Great video
Very enjoyable, learned a lot
All of the above! Please more wildlife habitat content!
Thank you sir for sharing these kind of videos! My son loves to duck hunt! I’m 46 years old and never really got into ducks until now. Ive got a property that has a lot of potential and going to work hard to make it great for my 10 year old and hopefully see grand babies enjoy what I’m doing. You are helping my future by showing videos like these! Thank you so very much! And Gods blessings be on you and your family.
Lookin good Martin. And yes please more habitat stuff!!
More to come!
Best video yet I'd say. Best hunts I've ever had were all in natural habitat. Everything from impounded saltmarsh to flooded river bottoms full of smartweed much like this video.
Heck of a video Justin, real duck hunters love this stuff. Thanks buddy.
Keep the nerdy stuff coming. This is great stuff!
Would love to see like a timeframe of water control. Like when to flood, when to drain, and how deep to flood. Loved this video too!
I would like to see more videos like this. More of the work side of improving habitat rather than just the playing side. Loved this video!
Love the habitat videos! Always wished Phil did more of those on water retention efforts and vegetation manipulation to maximize attractiveness to waterfowl. I too, am a geek about habitat.
Please please please do more of these videos... I love managing for my ducks and love watching what other people are doing
Absolutely more videos like this. Very informative to land owners learning what it takes.
Awesome video! Keep up the good work! I wish more people thought in those terms. We have to keep conserving the habitat and making it better for future generations!
I like the habitat stuff. Keep it coming!
That looks great Martin keep up the good work
I love this "different" video! I guess I'm a habitat nerd...just didn't know to call myself that. My background is in natural resources...mostly geared towards deer, turkey, quail, etc as my part of Missouri isn't as waterfowl heavy. I went from forester with a state agency to private habitat consultant to land broker (real estate). Now that I'm in real estate I have more opportunity to get on privately owned property for waterfowl. I love expanding my horizons in new habitat areas. Keep the habitat videos coming!
Nice video! i had never thought all the work you have before season opens! Greetings and blessings from the other half of this land called america, Chile!!
Martin I loved the video. I wish more videos about this type of thing were out there. I have about 600 acres of CRP and WRP ground that we hunt not very far from you. This will be the first year ever that I’ve tried moist soil management for ducks. So far it looks phenomenal. I would love to see more of this to compare to mine.
Great informative video, thanks for sharing!! Do y’all setup traditional wood duck nesting boxes around your property? I’ve got 4 around my 3 ponds and they tend to only use 1 of them for some reason.
Thanks again for the great content!
Loved it. So my question is what needs to happen outside of a pond what needs to be planted or cleared?
very helpful! thank you! just got 17 acres in northern Oklahoma with 2 ponds in the middle lots of deer and turkey but no ducks.
I enjoy the habitat work more than the hunt. keep it coming.Educate us on best methods to enhance what we have. Get the whole team out there . Thanks. Well done.
Great job Martin. Habitat is the key. We've learned here in Florida that we have to have controlled burns to burn off all the underbrush like you took out with the skid steer. If you let the underbrush get too thick when there is a wild fire it will burn too hot and kill those oaks. A light fire ever 3 or 4 years will help. Good on ya for getting the word out, God Bless.
Great video ! Love to see more habitat info
Keep it coming, man! Personally, id like to see how you handle places you can't really drain. We've got a few places on our property that hold water well but stay too wet to cut and maintain.
Really enjoyed it. Keep up the habitat videos
Great video always enjoy watching your video
Thanks Martin for sharing this very injoying can we see more. God bless you
Thanks Martin I love to do this type of stuff
Enjoyed the habitat video!
Martin, You da man!! And you're rocking a great looking beard to boot! Very interesting video, this habitat stuff.....ongoing work....like draining the swamp.....hmmm
Great Work Martin 😎🤙🏾
Yes , this is very interesting. Keep em coming 👍🏼
Awesome video, very informative! What’s your thoughts on trying to grow more sedges? I know they are great food for waterfowl but they can slice you up if you get too crazy! What are some better options for food source coming from south east Texas?
Would love to see the habitat work that y’all do planting, disking, Bush hogging, etc.
Liked it thanks for improving habitat and doing your part 👍
Enjoyed the thought process
Great video!!
I started learning about natural foods in more detail from a refuge biologist in SC (he's from Monroe coincidentally). I learned some things about manipulation to facilitate certain species as well as controlling unwanted plants... Teach us more! Thanks!
Yes more habitat videos. Moist soil management videos.
You got it!
Definitely need more habitat videos. God bless
For thinning like your video showed to give the oaks room to grow, what kind of spacing should I have for water oak and white oak for down the road creating a flooded timber area. I'm up here in North West Louisiana so same habitat as you got on the video. Thanks
I prefer minimum 15ft spacing. Some plant tighter if it’s a complete reforestation effort assuming a certain amount won’t make it. Nothing wrong with planting a few at a time and design it just how you want it.
I have 80 acres that is wetlands that I disc this year that all came up in barnyard grass so think you can’t see through. After season do I need to disc that to get it to come back again next year or burn it out just leave it alone?
It’s funny how you get calls all year long to go hunting but when it’s time to plant, clear brush and build/brush blinds they always busy 😂😂
Keep up the habitat videos please! Once the native grasses and smart weed grow up, please add a follow-up video. Thanks!
Please give us more habitat videos, can never have to many.
Cool video 👍
How do you identify what areas are best to build water retention structures around?
Definitely more of this..
Very cool, I know a lot about deer and turkey management but I know squat about ducks
Great video....I'm in Asia and we have great waterfowl hunting here...is it possible to attract shallow feeders to deeper water..and how?...I have a property with deeper water which attracts the divers...thanks
Just great to see the work that you do as Hunter-Conservationists 👍
I’ve got a good bit of land, mostly swamp I’m having a hard time controlling water going in and out. I see y’all used gates. Is your water coming from a running river source near by or is it from a man made lake or something. I just don’t wanna flood the damn roads near my land because I’m not sure what to do exactly. If that makes any sense at all. I’d love to see a video on water control for your holes y’all make. Thanks brother!
Any advice for NWF?
More habitat management videos please
Godbless everyone.
For attracting ducks, should this only be affective near a pond? I’m trying to understand how this will attract ducks. I’m new to duck hunting. Thanks
Kick ass video..
Nerd...
Pond management how yall made your levees
Interesting
More habitat stuff!
God bless y’all
More habitat videos please
More coming!
This is the good shit
PERFECT!!!
Just add ducks🦆
I would like to see how to layout a property!?
Next duck season started Feb 1!
👍
Your still young Martin. You will see the first hard mass crop of these oaks.
How you flood your properties
Pray for rain and if that doesn’t work turn on pumps
We know there are those panthers out there. Si keeps seeing them
😂🤣
You need to provide more of nerdy details
3rd
First
That good food is good but it going to turn out them Ducks dying from lead poisoning
I bet the anti-hunting crowd never sees videos like this😄🇺🇸🤘losers
Just mow down trees huh? Just like killing every snake and beaver.. God does have a reason for all of this and it’s not to kill ducks 😅
👍
