Planting the Perfect Duck Food Plot - Rusty Creasey

Echo Calls - Rusty Creasey takes us through the steps of planting the perfect food plot. There's alot that goes into managing a club to hold as many mallards as possible and Rusty has definitely got it down. Any duck club worth it's salt will tell you that food is the key to holding ducks as well as attracting ducks to your club. Harvey's Duck Club takes that fact to the extreme by providing an abundance of rice through strategically placed food plots in and around their timber. It's amazing just how many birds will call this place their home during the wintering months.

when you hear of flooded timber down south do all people flood it

[Outdoorvideomaster]

Shoot no. Most places are flooded naturally by rivers, sloughs and creeks getting out of their banks by large amounts of rainfall. But, there are several pieces of property that are flooded for the ducks artificially. However, these are woods that are in the lowland plains and around naturally flooded areas.

Does the timber flood naturally there?

[Outdoorvideomaster]

No it has to be flooded with pumps. The property has levees pulled up around it.

do you have to worry about a real hard rain/flood washing out the seed/plant before it gets to its full grown height

@duckslayer1014 im not forsure but i dont think it rele matters if u can i think its better to get 2-3 feet of water

[duckslayer1014]

ive got some questions to anyone who can answer them i live in western part of alabama and ive got one hole on our 300 acre place it holds bunches of woodies and ive got everything i need to plant rice but i didnt know if thats even good to plant for woodies and when it floods is the water suppost to go all the way over the rice or does it matter?

[bowtecharrowbuster]

What verity of rice are y'all using?

[burritomangcg]

Do you have any problems with hogs? We have a ton of them in our swamp lease and I am concerned that they are going to tear things up once they find all that soft ground after I disc it up. Great video by the way.

Also do you have to build a berm or dam around any of your holes? And if so is there anything you can recommend to help with seepage? I think some good ol GA red clay will do the trick, just didn't know if there were any other good tricks out there.

what months do you do this in?

@thom1745 . Permit is a good chemical to take care of nut grass. Glad the video helped!! I spray a mixture of facet, surfoil, and stam to keep mine fairly clean. It doesn't have to be perfect just as long as you make enough to feed the ducks. If you get smart weeds or coffee beans then don't worry, they eat those too!!
