What’s your stance on shooting ducks over flooded corn?
When its me I approve whole heartedly...when it is someone else they baiting bastards ought to be thrown under the jail...
It is exactly the same thing. I do not get how you can legally add water to grain but can't add grain to water. Obviously the answer is that it takes more money to add water to grain and the people with the money to do it also have the money to influence legislation. Naturally flooded grain fields are one thing but we all know what some land managers do and it is no different than slinging a truck load of cracked corn on a field or in a slough to attract ducks and geese....

How's it any different than hunting near a corn field, bean field, food plot, etc?

I just don’t get the thrill of killing an animal over bait.
Beats the hell out of not seeing anything at all.
Family's land is surrounded by those that do put down corn/bait with their own feed plots but for being ethical my family doesn't allow any baiting. Guess who struggles to fill tags each year in our area?

This. You don't have to hunt over it. But when you have a neighboring camp planting 80 acres of soybeans and putting out tons of roasted soybean, rice bran, peanut mix, you gotta do something. And what if you don't have acorns on your property? We feed but don't hunt over it except for kids and women to harvest doe. Food plots and augmentation of natural food sources. It's amazing what some lime, fertilizer and limb trimming will do for a patch of greenbrier. I try to keep edges grown up and a with little TLC, I could start a damn blackberry business. A leaf blower does wonders for helping understory where you can't burn.
But soybeans are soybeans. I try to offer what I can on ours and hunt travel corridors to and from. But I will thank them for the immense increase in antler size we are seeing. And after saving one of their lives and building a pond for them, I get their roast mix for free and they're gonna plant as much of my stuff next year as we can.
IMO, whatever gets people in the woods. Deer need to be harvested and someone that's stuck hunting a pine clear cut surrounded by other camps with abundant hardwood and feeding has to do something. You can only do so much on leased land. I just encourage people to space out feeding areas and move then a little here and there to help prevent disease spread.

Look at it from a land owners prospective like me, still living in Louisiana. 150 acres in south texas which I make about 5 times a year. On average we see 15-20 deer each morning and afternoon and reserve the shooting to the young'uns.
To see the expression on the face of a 5year old to see deer for 1 to 2 hours. Watching the deer run each other off and play fight is quite a site.
To see the smile on a youngsters face when they kill their first deer.
You ask where is the satisfaction, its a 5 or 6 year old telling a story with the grown ups back at the house. Its a young hunter answering questions about his first kill to 60 or 70 year old men who are interested in the answers. Seeing so many deer at a time allows me teach and educate about scoring and ageing deer and that is the satisfaction of hunting over corn.

Sitting in a shooting house overlooking a corn feeder isn’t hunting, baws.
Sure it is. If you're looking for a thrill then you shouldn't be hunting with a firearm in the first place. Get a bow.

Between my share of the note on our land and my tractor note, I pay about $8,000 a year. That's before any fuel, taxes, utility bills etc....
My arse is going to plant food plots and hunt over corn.

drive around and kill one standing in the pasture.

Do you feel the same way about hunting over an acorn tree? Because it’s basically the same. They are coming to a known food source

So you have a problem with shooting deer eating acorns? That’s bait.
Posted on 12/5/20 at 8:53 am to Eli Goldfinger
I do both, i’m a member of a 2k acre camp in south Mississippi. It’s close to the house and i can just run out there on a friday afternoon, drink some beer, hunt a planted field with a feeder and relax. If i kill i do, if i don’t i don’t. Then, a few times a year i go to Missouri and the Delta to bow hunt public the hard way...... i enjoy both equally but in different ways. Dog hunting? That’s where i draw the line personally, to each is own. I will never disrespect another hunter taking game legally.

People get some funny ideas.My sister used to give me hell because I hunted out of tree stands,she said it wasn’t fair,it gave me an unfair advantage.
Then I explained to her the realities of slaughter houses where cows,pigs and chickens met their end.I never heard anymore about that.

I have 2 box stands on a pipeline running thru my property. I have a food plot planted by a creek in a bottom with a salt block on a dug up stump that I moved there.
I also have a climbing stand overlooking our pond that’s located in a groove of hardwood trees with acorns a plenty with a little corn on the ground here and there and another salt block (hog tend to root up the ground bad here the pond is in the woods in back of the property)
Then I have another climbing stand along a fire lane this one I have a homemade deer feeder

I think dog hunting is trashy, and crossbows should be reserved for the elderly & handicapped.
