This week Ducks Unlimited Television (DU TV) takes you to the Texas coastal prairie. There the DU TV cameras capture great hunting action and we learn more about the Texas Prairie Wetlands Project.
In this episode, co-host Ashley Horobetz hunts with Thunderbird Hunting Club’s Travis Peterson and Forrest and Hunter Steele, sons of Todd Steele, DU Magazine contributing photographer and the club manager. Also sharing the blind is DU biologist and area native Taylor Abshier.
Thunderbird headquarters is south of El Campo, Texas, in the heart of the central flyway’s wintering grounds. Most of the land here is privately held, so DU has worked with landowners for decades, restoring and improving wetlands habitat.
“With Texas being 95% privately owned, it’s key to work with landowners on this landscape,” Abshier said. “This year, we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Texas Prairie Wetlands Project. Over 90,000 acres of habitat restoration have been delivered in that time and DU has worked with over 700 landowners in 28 counties. Through the program we provide survey, design and engineering services to ensure what we build has a minimum lifespan of 10 to 15 years.”
