Seeing all the flooded right of ways along the interstate this past week, I couldnt help but think that a lot of them looked pretty ducky. Anyone ever successfully duck hunt on a flooded right of way?

Along the road? Wouldn't this be illegal?

I think the OP meant pipeline ROW's. At least that's what I think he meant.

Don't shoot the power lines, also I am not sure if you are aware but the pipeline companies may not own the ROW, they just have access. The landowners usually still have some control over them.

There are miles and miles of them on UO. It can be pretty good when the water just starts spilling into the woods up there and the pipeline ROW's have about a foot or so on them and you can get out and wade.

This is all NWR btw.

I've shot a few woodies on one a few times... but, I've never decoyed a 16 pack of mallards into one.

there are rules about hunting near "public road right-of-ways" but i don't think there are any rules concerning the power line right of ways. not that i know of anyway (or could find on a quick search of the hunting regs).

although it is specifically stated that you can't hunt from the utility poles or power lines themselves.

were the right of ways flooded, and ducks using them for food/loafing or were they just using them as travel corridors?

We have two pipelines that run our property between airline hwy and I10. Ducks are regularly laid up in them, and I mean a pair here and there. Never hunted the ROW though as in set up decoys etc.
