Don’t y’all realize ducks only rest on lakes. They eat all night and find places to rest during the day. I guess in a clear lake they can spot predators more easily. JS

Of course dude. Unless they’re shot out.

LMAO

You know how this makes you look now? Goes to show you you know nothing about crawfish ponds. Y’all are so schooled on the subject. LMAO

I hunted them a few times in the past. One year I had 200 acres with just my blind in the center. It wasn’t what I like to do. The only time they’d come during the day was in bad weather. I rather hunt in niec weather and see all the colors on the birds in the sun. That right; it’s excellent habitat for ducks. Not so much for hunters. ??

Makes no different to me when they leave. I don’t hunt ponds. So long as they feed at night then come to me. ??

Yup

Dude, there’s plenty of guys in Missouri complaining about allllll the corn on the refuges. They are getting a taste of their own medicine. They thought they would compete with the refuges and plant corn too. Once they started shooting a few birds, the birds wised up real quick. They went nocturnal. They stay on the refuges all day in peace then eat the guys corn at night. LMAO

Rice flooded after harvest has been a normal ag practice for since rice has been cultivated as an ag crop. Corn only needs to be “irrigated”; by that I mean setting poly pipe on the highest part of the field and is allowed to trickle down the furrows. Levees around a cornfield used to be used to KEEP WATER OUT of a low lying field to protect against flood waters. If they want to flood harvested corn; they can flood all they want; I could give a rat’s behind. But you see if any corn was left after harvest, it wouldn’t last as long under water.

Why else do you think they flood standing corn. It NEVER deteriorates. They even drain the fields the minute the season is over and go in and harvest it if there’s any sufficient corn left. They have perfected every aspect of this “duck holding” practice. This is actually the new way of “legal baiting”. Why else so many people criticize anyone that mentions doing away with the practice. They either gain from the practice personally or financially. And they have the nerve to call this “duck habitat”! They are harvesting a natural resource by unethical means. It’s really as close to shooting “flighted” ducks as can be. These guys are laughing all the way to the bank.
