Unfortunately buying the volume of it that we would need would make it cost prohibitive, it's $$$ in large quantities. But indeed, we are planning on a similar goop-like material to put a layer down on the floor once we get it drained and dried. The holes we have are small, for now.

Latest model runs I'm watching are showing the heralded front for teal opener weekend........fizzling before it gets here.
So, where do we stand heading into next week’s September teal season? LDWF Waterfowl Program Manager Larry Reynolds says all we have is the North Dakota breeding population survey this year.
Reynolds said, “The North Dakota survey has been ongoing since 1948, and this year, ponds were up 65% from 2019 and 70% over the long term average. Ducks were up 18% from 2019 and 64%t above the long-term average. Blue Winged Teal were up 58% from 2019. There was great water in North Dakota and as a result, a lot of ducks stopped there to breed. Typically, when there is good water on the southern end of the breeding grounds, ducks will stop there and have good reproductive success.”
Anecdotally, Reynolds mentioned that there has been limited banding in Canada this year due to the COVID pandemic. However, on a few sites in both southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba, there have been a “pesky” number of immature Blue Winged Teal.
“Pesky, because the goal of this limited banding is to focus on mallards to generate the data necessary to run the adaptive management harvest process for setting overall duck seasons, and the number of blue wings made it difficult. The same was true for some banding sites in North and South Dakota. So, there is some suggesting that at least blue wings had good reproductive success,” Reynolds said.

Had some friends report back from Holly beach. No blinds, no boat houses. Nothing. But they did send a sweet video of greys coming into a pond. Must be something down there they like. Sure isn’t any food.MARSH BEAR wrote:Your turn - sorry it's anybody's turn
We still cannot get into our marsh, don't have any idea what might be left of blinds and boat ramps
