well the first thing you need to do is find a pond that at least some ducks and geese use. then you need to keep people off of it and dont hunt it the first year. when the ducks and geese are gone pump it dry and plant some kind of food source in it like biologic waterfowl forage. try to plant japanese millet around the edges. keep it relatively dry all year. depending on when your duck season starts you need to start pumping water about two months before your season opens. the birds that were using it last year we'll see that it provides them with everything they need. it wont be long before they start bringin more birds into the pond. hope this helps you kill some birds!
