It’s nice to see a discussion such as this. I think it would be better served to let people finish their thoughts rather than constantly interrupting the person explaining their reasoning. Little more tact on that would greatly improve these types of discussions. Great podcast other than that.
Great podcast B.Scott. I wish Cuz would’ve talked more about how the rest area at BM changed when it turned into moist soil and how ducks used the area. Really hoping they don’t do the same drastic changes in NE Ark.
Good podcast. I wish you would have went more in depth about the rest areas not being used and how they could get more birds to use the rest areas. Rest areas in central Arkansas haven’t been planted in a few years and have turned into a coffee bean farm as well as the public hunting areas around them. If the game and fish don’t have the man power to farm them they need to hire it out.
That is inaccurate about the moist soil units. The units are managed for natives. They are only planted in a supplemental cover crop if a native crop can't be produced. Contractors are hired as needed to assist with soil disturbance.
@@buckjackson6932 the last 25 years they have disked and planted millet in this rest area it is flooded every fall and drained every spring. The last 3 years they have done nothing it has been growing up in coffee beans and cockleburs. In 2019 they planted Winter wheat across the entire field and didn’t flood it at all. I have pictures and videos to prove all of that and have taken it to the game and fish myself and never get a true answer. There is another wma in the central part of the state that is a working rice farm that the game and fish plant and harvest portions of and leave the rest for ducks that hasn’t been planted in 3 years nothing but coffee beans and cockleburs. I very rarely see ducks use any of the native habitat the game and fish so call manage.
Looks to me like they kno there’s a problem but yet there goin to wait till it’s a bad problem till they do anything to help with it. Just like they did our turkeys
Great Podcast, Very interesting.

The game and fish does hardly any work now days all they hire are biologists and they mostly sit behind a a computer and do stuff that doesn’t matter
