Yes flooded grain fields that are not normal agriculture practices

This gets thrown around way too much by the FFL group. Show me in the CES guidance where it defines "normal agricultural practices" for the termination of a crop. That is what flooding is doing. No where does anyone say you have to harvest a crop. They planted it, and followed the law as far as what they did to hunt it.

I realize the FFL doesn't like the law as it is, but tough shite. The original MBTA was not detailed enough to actually enforce.

Hell, let's go back to the old way and just call croplands what they are--baited fields. Regardless of whether it was harvested or not, there is grain in the field that draws the ducks in. Ban it!

Then let's see how happy these fools are when you can't hunt a flooded rice or bean field.
