In your opinion, how prevalent is the practice of baiting ducks?

5-10% of hunters? Higher? Lower? The concentration of birds in certain areas where they consistently get hunted and pressured has me wondering…
Edit: limited to private land, don’t think many public spots get baited.

Legal baiting, or illegal baiting?

Illegal, as in dumping bait into a marsh pond or timber hole. Obviously the “legal baiting” is out of hand and has been detrimental to bird numbers down here.
I also have a friend who works on the river who sends me daily videos of thousands of gray ducks, teal, and dogris rafted 100 yards down current of the various grain elevators on the river. If people knew how many birds stayed on the river year around due to this there would be a riot.

10-4, just focusing the coming argument.

Baiting birds is pathetic no matter the legality.

My guess would be minimal.

Sorry baw, I’ll be headed to a rice field that wasn’t cut around 2:30. Hope you get your limit too.

Gonna pump out or ditch drain a standing timber swamp and play this summer. Then either pump to fill or let it fill naturally.
On the “baiting” issue, it’s the same as deer. If people around you are baiting and you aren’t you will see significantly less birds.

They love the grain elevators. There was some youtube channel where some baws bought an island, or made an island in the Miss river hunt able and they seemed to get a lot of ducks. I don't think there are that many public places that Joe Blow is tossing corn or something in. Private land owners are usually in management programs and growing crops already, I would think.
ETA: "Big private land owners" are probably in a management program and running some farms of some kind.

Not prevalent at all.
Legal baiting is more effective. And I’m the drone age to easy to get caught

In rice fields, I dont know many pits that dont have malfunctions to the combine right around the pit.
Posted on 1/2/22 at 1:21 pm to choupiquesushi
I have only heard of a couple. The last one I know that did it was using a crop duster to spread corn. Or that is what I was told by the pilot anyway.

It’s more prevalent that people want to admit. Especially if people went super strictly by the letter of the law.
Posted on 1/2/22 at 3:14 pm to Outdoorreb
I've seen it once.
Posted on 1/2/22 at 3:45 pm to jimjackandjose
we tried to bait some potholes down at the wax one time, it’s too damn much work
Posted on 1/2/22 at 3:53 pm to Tigerbait1998
Rare. 5 to 10% in Arkansas.

Not true. Illegal baiting happens way more often than you realize, especially in St. Bernard.

What do you constitute baiting?
Tossing out 100lbs of milo or installing heaters/agitators on artificially flooded farm land?
One’s legal but the other isn’t.
