what can I do to bring more wood ducks to my pond

for next season?
A couple of years ago wood duck hunting at my pond was pretty decent. The last couple of years it has dropped off. I know there are ducks around because I hear alot of shooting at other area ponds. Im not sure if these guys are baiting the ducks, or doing something with the habitat to make it more accommodating. I dont want to do anything illegal, but would like to change up habitat or plant something to make my spot more accommodating. My pond is around 3.5 acres and is bordered by woods and a slew in about 1/2 to 3/4's of the shoreline.

In the past how many times was it getting hunted a season? Morning and or evening?

My guess is lack of food. Especially if you have oaks near the pond.

Set your deer feeder near shallow end, hogs love wet corn.

I have a similar spot, and using past experience hunting woodies in other "good wood duck holes", I only hit them about 1 weekend a month. Just a couple of times a year.
Most weekends I go somewhere else or deer hunt.
As others have said, additional food is good. But if they want to be in there, nothing beats letting them have sanctuary a couple of weeks to really thicken up.
