Maynard is one freaking cool guy!!! He has an awesome place for sure and some crazy cool waterfowl. Just good people!!! I am on the list for mandarins and wood ducks form him this fall if all goes well.
He is a prince of a guy and ive not heard an ill word spoken about him. He is a Washington Waterfowlers Association member and ive had a few opportunities to talk with him. He told me he likes the challenge not all that different than trying to raise the perfect specimens of your favored hunting dog. The wide variety of birds he has makes breeding an exceptional challenge. They all have different breeding scheduals according to the photo/light schedual. Then2 breeding pair of Nene are exceptionally difficult because they laid at the same time we have had late snow. Light manipulation cannot be used because of all thenither birds that would be thrown off, especially the ones that breed in the far north.
Not only does he have lots of different geese but all manner of sea ducks and divers. Scoter, king eider... he told me he was part of a group that was able to get the feed company to produce a sea duck blend for all the divers.
