Over the past 25 years because of dramatic improvements in farming practices, waste grain from farming has decreased significantly. Moist soil management and planting crops like corn or Guide’s Choice can have a huge impact on waterfowl nutrition.
Webster’s dictionary defines ‘weed’ as, “Any undesired, uncultivated plant.” However, an ecologist recently said a weed was, “A plant without a home.” The latter definition seems fitting for a community of wild grasses and sedges that many waterfowl managers and hunters call ‘moist-soil’ plants.
As the name implies, moist-soil plants are adapted for living and reproducing in wetlands. They thrive in seasonally flooded wetlands, which are not flooded year round but usually remain wet during the growing season.
Stripers, wipers, sunshine bass or just plain hybrids, whatever you choose to call them, the hybrid striped bass can be a fun and useful addition to a pond or lake. They are a fast growing, voracious predator that feeds on shad, shiners or just bluegill. Often their growth rate will exceed that of largemouth bass, gaining up to 3 pounds per year where shad are abundant.

I heard this over and over as my phone rang off the hook. Some were frantic, others just exasperated as I shared with them it was simply too late to establish a viable food plot, being it was almost October. Why all these last moment calls? The answer was simple; the proverbial shoe had finally dropped as the DNR implemented a baiting ban throughout Michigan’s lower-peninsula, literally days before the start of the 2008 bow season. What lead to this immediate policy change, you ask? Answer: a CWD positive deer had been discovered on a captive deer breeding facility in southwest Michigan, resulting in what some might say, a "knee-jerk" reaction by the Michigan DNR.
