Duck Season's Over But There's Still Plenty to Do
By Mike Faulk

Another duck season has come to an end. Here's a suggestion for spending some more time on the river or around the lake or pond. It's time to start thinking ahead to the early wood duck season next fall.

There is no substitute for taking care of our conservation duties here at home. Placing and maintaining wood duck boxes in the first two weeks after the end of duck season will serve dual purposes of practicing conservation locally and providing more birds for the early fall hunt. Wood ducks begin breeding and nesting here in the Tennessee valley in mid-February.
