How to use Wingmaster Duck Food Plot Mix & Duck Hunting Tips
Many waterfowl species will benefit from habitat improvements like
supplemental plantings. These same habitat improvements will also attract more
mallard duck, the most popular and most sought after water fowl species in the
U.S. Cover, food and shallow water are the basic habitat requirements needed for
good waterfowl management. Ducks are mostly herbivores, characterized as grazers
and seed eaters, and have diverse diets of grasses, forbs, seeds, fruits,
acorns, cultivated crops and aquatic plants. Food plantings of seed producing
plants around the edges and in waterfowl impoundments can provide excellent food
and habitat for waterfowl. Pennington's WingMaster Duck Mixture is a combination
of seed (including Japanese millets, Proso millet, Buckwheat, and Grain Sorghum)
which produce plants that will make an excellent food source for ducks. .
Planting food along water edges, in the impoundments, or in low areas that will
flood during the winter are excellent ways to increase habitat and hold more
birds on your property. Pennington's Duck Mixture is tolerant of some flooding,
however water should be held off until plants are fully mature or about 80 days
after germination. For dabbling ducks or puddle ducks that feed in shallow
water, levels should be kept in the range of 6" to 18" inches deep once flooding
occurs.
Some practical pond management such as thinning or removing non-mast crop trees
along the water's edge could help to increase sunlight exposure to the soil thus
increasing natural food supplies from seed-producing weed and grass plants. Also
carefully controlling water levels in waterfowl impoundments helps provide good
growth for your supplemental food source and encourage natural food supplies to
grow.
Waterfowl are federally regulated migratory birds, and you should pay close
attention to federal and state regulations regarding field management.
