f you flooded a bahia, Florida paspalum or Bermuda field 12-16” in depth

Would ducks utilize this for food or waste of time? Do not have the barnyard grass and smart weeds in abundance in areas I would be able to flood


Not sure where you are wanting to try this but one of the things I’ve noticed bird hunting for a long time is that whenever we’ve had heavy rains and or flooding in SWLA during hunting season, the ducks Love flooded pastures/grass areas.

I guess it depends if there are already ducks in your area, I would think they’d check it out. Lots of seeds, grasses and invertebrates floating around for easy pickings.

I’m in the eastern central Texas area. Have killed ducks on cattle tanks before but looking to flood a 10 acre or so field to give them a more shallow area for feeding and spending time

best pintail hunts I had back in 10 duck days was 10 pintails in hayfields after heavy rains in spots holding water.
