Anyone ever hunt an island blind in a rice field?

I normally hunt the marsh out of Dularge, but a buddy of mine has an opening in their blind north of Lake Arthur . He said they killed a lot of Specklebellies last year, but the farmer lasered the field so there are no levees just an island where the blind is . Sounds to me like it would be hard to get them to come to a blind like that in the middle of a 30 acre pond .

Strange to have removed all of the levees, but if it's only 30 acres, it's possible. Also strange thay he would leave an island for a blind in the middle of the field.

Happens up here all the time when beans are rotated for rice. You'll need to pull a levee where the blind is after he harvests, for best results. Also, use spell check

I have several years. It's s little trickier to shoot. But if the birds want your spot, it's on.hunt levee pit blind Levee makes for easy walking. Now with mojo remotes and a dog, my feet don't hit the water.

Sounds like that blind is gonna stick out like a sore thumb. I hope you don't give up a first born to get this spot.

I hunt an island blind. Been doing so for four years now. We didnt do as well in open water, but when we have rice stubble, we do well.

Go get a bale of hay and spread it all around the island periodically to cover your tracks. I've killed them pretty well back when we were in this situation you just have to make sure it's well brushed and there aren't muddy footprints visible

I grew up hunting island pits in rice fields. Usually the field would be pumped up to have about 15-20 acres of water around the pit. Just like hunting anywhere else, it's about positioning your decoys and camouflaging well.

I hunted one for several years...rice fields just south of Bunkie...
we hammered them...like OP said...keep the camo up and move your decoys around...we would have a lot out at the beginning of the season and thin out the spread after the split...
