But you don't. What about electricity? Medicine? Industries with govt help. There was a reason the folks with the same DNA as you died at 38 just a short while ago.

I know, I know. You got it all figured out. But you don't actually do any of it.

I honestly think this is just the best troll job on the OB to date. I bet this dude doesn't even bait... I bet he doesn't even duck hunt.. I bet he doesn't even lift, bro.

The USFS Waterfowl laws specifically excludes NORMAL AGRICULTURAL PROCESS in favor of FLOODING STANDING CROPS for waterfowl hunting.

Now, I do not expect you jealous assholes to understand that simple concept, but there it is.

And therein lies the rub. Some people think their particular gubmint cheese is OK, because it accomplishes things that they agree with, while other forms of gubmint cheese are horrific wastes of money. Gubmint cheese is gubmint cheese. Farmer gets $10K for not planting some acreage vs. single mother with 6 children getting $10K in welfare benefits. They both got the cheese.

It's all welfare. No matter how you look at it.

To make the assumption that government conservation programs benefit all hunters is very much the same as saying any welfare, you name it, benefits society as a whole. Yea I could stretch it and say that having food stamps lets more people eat, therefore, less hungry people are less of a burden on society. (same argument for healthcare). It sure as hell don't help a LA hunter to sit next to thousands of acres of conservation land that I helped pay for improvements on and the owner reaps the benefits.

Now if you have no problem with healthcare, food stamps, etc. then that's fine. We agree to disagree. But I don't get how you can be for assistance to one group and not the other. Especially when caring for the poor is a much more "ethical" way to spend tax dollars than making ducky habitat on some guy's land that in all likelihood could have paid for it himself.

It's a fundamental principle that few are willing to admit. They want to cut spending on everyone's shite except their own. Just be man enough to admit it and not try to justify why your use of money is better than the next guy's like most do.

I'll just disagree with most on here I guess. To me conservation programs on private land that I don't have access to hunt is simply hunter's welfare.

Nope. Where we flooded and then hunted 8 days later. I can adjust correctly. In a certain low spot on our fields correctly was not as tight as other spots...

Yankee doodle, leaving a certian amount of grain in field regardless of why it was left is illegal. LDWF and feds can drag a seine through youre' field and get a rough estimate of whay you left in it. Doesnt' matter if it was from a mechanical issue or you hitting the bottle hard and spilling a grain cart. It can be deamed unhuntable by LAW.

Planting a field, not harvesting it, and not manipulating is legal to hunt over. Why? Dont' know, but to me it sure seem that is not a normal ag practice and for all practical purposes be baiting.



Hunting over ANY field recently harvested (within 7 days) is illegal. After that it is game on.

We have had green jeans hunting with us and he did not have an issue. Now if we are running 100% through I can see where there might be an issue, but sloppiness happens. Especially in the low lying areas/

Well there is the well thought out response that you so severely needed to post 2 hours ago. It's like you were slow playing your intelligence for a little while. Either way, I believe we agree on our views of welfare, healthcare, etc. Where I think we differ is that a) we are using one portion of money to feed and supply a group of people that largely abuse the system and contribute nothing to society, while the other portion is going to predominantly good people that work hard to provide a service for our country. Obviously there are some that cheat and take advantage, but comparatively, come on..
b) I like the idea that there is incentive out there to preserve habitat and add woodlands and wetlands to rural America. Otherwise, everything would become commercialized and suburban

Farmer and welfare mama are both getting paid for doing nothing. Let them both make it without gubmint help. Of course I'd rather see both get paid than see one cent go to the Pakis and Eqgytians, but that's a whole 'nother story.

Having some small experience with baiting regs, i can tell you the Feds can pretty much decide to prosecute or not prosecute based on their whim. Dove regs are different from Duck regs, and the magistrates who try the violations may have zero experience with hunting to interpret the rules. What is a "genuine agricultural practice" to one may not be to another. It sucks, but most err on the side of caution.

. The farmer is doing something though? So I guess I don't understand, he is deferring profits to assist with national conservation initiatives.
