Sweet potato planting for ducks

Would planting a sweet potato crop and flooding it for ducks be considered baiting?

A duck eating a sweet potato? That's quite a picture.

the goal would be to grow the sweet potato and then flood it in september and let them rot to attract the ducks and water / pond is taste

Would they need little shovels to dig the taters?

I would think it would be baiting.
Anything that is not the normal agricultural process would be considered manipulation for the purpose of attracting wildlife or whatever the shite it says.

Dude if you have private property and the means to grow crops in a flooded field, you are doing it wrong if you plant sweet potatoes.

Ducks love sweet potatoes, I don't think an entire crop of them are necessary though. I've heard a burlap sack-full works well. Also heard that punching holes in canned yams works too, causes some kind of sheen on the water the ducks can pick up.
However both are illegal and "unethical"
If you have the land and the means to plant and flood there is a really grey area in the gaming regulations regarding hunting over agriculture crops, it's almost soley at the discretion of the GJ whether you're ticketed or not. You can get some hybrid corn that doesnt grow really tall (forgot the name) and then flood that.

I would think flooding of a sweet potato field would not fall under normal agricultural practices...&

Yea some people have obviously never hunted in a flooded sweet potato field. I have hunted one, it was a doctor who owned the property and just planted sweet potatoes and flooded it. Incredible how many ducks there were there and not the surrounding areas.
According the U.S. Fish and Wildlife services it seems to be legal and within the rules

Waterfowl Hunting and Baiting
quote:
Agricultural lands offer prime waterfowl hunting opportunities. You can hunt waterfowl in fields of
unharvested standing crops. You can also hunt over standing crops that have been flooded. You can
flood fields after crops are harvested and use these areas for waterfowl hunting.
quote:
A normal agricultural planting is undertaken for the purpose of producing a crop. The Fish and Wildlife
Service does not make a distinction between agricultural fields planted with the intent to harvest a crop
and those planted without such intent so long as the planting is in accordance with recommendations
from the Cooperative Extension Service.
quote:
What is Legal?
You can hunt waterfowl on or over or from:
• Standing crops or flooded standing crops, including aquatic plants.
• Standing, flooded, or manipulated natural vegetation.
• Flooded harvested croplands.
• Lands or areas where grains have been scattered solely as the result of a normal agricultural
planting, harvesting, or post-harvest manipulation.
• Lands or areas where top-sown seeds have been scattered solely as the result of a normal
agricultural planting, or a planting for agricultural soil erosion control or post-mining land
reclamation.
• A blind or other place of concealment camouflaged with natural vegetation.
• A blind or other place of concealment camouflaged with vegetation from agricultural crops,
provided your use of such vegetation does not expose, deposit, distribute or scatter grain or
other feed.
• Standing or flooded standing crops where grain is inadvertently scattered solely as the result of
hunters entering or leaving the area, placing decoys, or retrieving downed birds. Hunters are
cautioned that while conducting these activities, any intentional scattering of grain will create a baited area

Check out refuge forums.com. There is a habitat board and sweet potatoes are discussed there often

Flooding a corn field is not a normal agricultural practice but it is legal. I don’t see the difference? It obviously it’s not a very practical method or more people would be doing it I would think.

I was scrolling through and saw my original post and then I looked at the date when I didn’t remember making the post
