re: Canada Trip results and photos

The last time I hunted one there were scattered peanuts on the surface and buried just below the surface that were waste, much like a sweet potato field. Like any field I'm sure fresh rain uncovers more and draws ducks in. The dirt was loose and freshly plowed after harvesting so it would be just like mallards up north digging in snow to find them I would guess. The whole dry field thing makes me wonder if this is a new phenomenon with no-till farming or if this always took place in the northern states. Combine that with less rice in South TX and South LA and it makes sense why less mallards travel all the way down.
