That is the DNR doing to the marsh. It's dry as a bone except the river channel?

There was a similar article in one of the local papers.. Main goal this year was to add some vegetation to an 80 acre area that was just a mud flat. Goal was to attract more ducks/geese to marsh (draw down also killed quite a few carp).. Looks like they hope to have a large burn this winter (800+ acres) to open up some of the cattail choked areas..
Agree this should help waterfowl recruitment but not sure if we will ever see the "good old days" of goose hunting.. Local farm fields used to be full of geese in Oct, now it is mostly sandhill's.. I know there are other factors in play that created the current situation.
Really? Thanks for the information Pool! I've been saying the last 5-6 years the number of geese there has plummeted and the reason was there's less open water every year due to cattails taking over.
I hear one more person say it's due to the wind turbines, I'm going to lose it.
