Most management on Cato Slough is for migrant and wintering waterfowl. In the last decade, waterfowl populations have increased dramatically in southeast Missouri including the Cato Slough area. Southeast Missouri has:1) many public wetland areas including Duck Creek, Dark Cypress, Otter Slough, Coon Island, and Ten Mile Pond CA’s and Mingo NWR; 2) over 10,000 acres of private wetlands restored through the WRP program (including Cato Slough); and 3) to nearly 300,000 acres of rice produced in region. The accelerating numbers of migrating and wintering mallards in southeast Missouri since the 1980s resembles the famous buildup of mallards in the Stuttgart, Arkansas area in the early 1900s. By no accident, Cato Slough LLC. has direct association with some of Stuttgart’s most respected waterfowl hunting entities.
