Thanks to anyone intrested !
this does help waterfowl for future hunting seasons and its our job to restore what we destroy during the hunting season.
even just 1 hen house or 1 nest box counts !

I got 4 boxes built and waiting for winter to freeze up to get them placed. I am hoping to build 8 or 10 more

Dont forget the shavings

[Fred Woodman]

When we get a good freeze up I plan to place them. I could use lots of info about what to look for in location

[Brendan Kelly]

small wetlands with grass, or even on a slow slow part of a river. have the box always facing the water. make sure there is NO branches in the way. put it any where from 4-20 feet up. and put it in a place that they can easily see !
ohh and try and put it in an aera where goldeneyes hang out

[Brendan Kelly]

MAKE SURE you have lots of cuts or wire mesh on the inside of the front to allow the duckings to get out

[Fred Woodman]

I didnt take a picture but I have a lot of saw rips in the side with the hole so they can get out
