EP. 103: A Father's Legacy & Planting Duck Food with Greg Croxford
Thursday, 16 April, 2026
On this episode of The Migration Waterfowl Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Greg Croxford at his cabin in southern Ohio. After spending the day planting rice along a remote creek, we sit down to talk about what it really takes to build a duck spot from scratch—and the risks that come with it. Greg shares the story behind his property, originally purchased by his father, and what it meant to build the cabin together by hand using white oak logs from the land itself. Since his father’s passing, the property has taken on an even deeper meaning, and now we’re working to build something that will last for years to come. We dive into the reality of planting duck food in water we can’t control, why rice can be effective in the right conditions, and the challenges that come with trying to create a consistent duck hunting spot. From scouting and habitat to long-term strategy, this episode is all about the process—and the uncertainty—of trying to do it the right way. If everything goes right, this could turn into a great early season spot. If not… it’s all part of the journey. 🎬 Be sure to check out the full video from this trip on the Migration Waterfowl YouTube channel as part of The Migration Route series. 🔑 KEY TOPICS • Building a duck hunting spot from scratch • Planting Ozark rice for waterfowl habitat • Hunting property history and legacy • Scouting and habitat strategy • Risks of planting in uncontrolled water • Creating long-term duck hunting opportunities If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and share it with a buddy.
