MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
At Island 34, we're addicted to duck hunting. To the point that we're taking a 2,600 acre island and turning it into a duck paradise.
The 2023/24 season was the first season with designated blind locations and guests coming to hunt Island 34. After years of hard work, the fruits of labor are coming to light with some fantastic duck hunts.
Owner, Ruste Via, has a plan to take two of his passions, wildlife conservation and duck hunting, and use them to turn this island into one of the top waterfowl destinations in North America. This is the first look at the evolution of Island 34 since the journey began in 2022!!

      Thank you! We have a pretty good rotation of setups for every wind direction which has allowed us to hunt without over pressuring the island. And thankfully, there's plenty of slack in that system so far!

    At what point does the government see that if they don’t take the hunters money and spend it on doing this at the management areas or start losing dollars to people getting out of hunting due to not enough birds…

    Love the video! Point of clarification: Duck-use-days are classified as “the amount of ducks an acre can feed ~for one day~”, not ~per day~. An acre of unharvested rice can feed 29,000 ducks for one day, once. But not continually.

    Good two videos so far. I subscribed and am really looking forward to you getting more and more into the science of the why behind the habitat and the the habitat types. I think currently the state waterfowl managers are getting a bad rap for managing for moist soil but few public land hunters understand the why behind moist soil and even less how the money constraints on that side sort of dictate moist soil as the "better" play from a habitat/duck use to cost standpoint.
