I’ve been seeing something similar up here. Last weekend an outfitter hunted it with 20 guns. Next day they were still using it. Obviously to a lessor degree, but still. Not to mention 1000s of doves on it. Just a single pivot field of harvested corn.

How does 3,000 acres of standing corn produce more food than 500,000 acres of harvested corn in Louisiana?
I'm assuming they don't account for grain left in dry fields.

Had a couple of hundred birds on the hole scouting it,
We had 4-5 hunts where we found them like that and next day sat there looking at basically empty skies, best day was 7. Then go to a hole we only saw 15-20 in and absolutely smash them. Been the most unpredictable season I can remember.

Corn creates highly predictable flight lines between roosting sanctuaries and feeding areas. Mallards commute to where the corn is reliably and repeatedly
This is where Tony V excels. His blinds sit in a strip of woods in between flooded corn fields and refuges.
The more concerning issue is that 3,000 acres of corn is equal to 2/3’s of LAs estimated food.

If you were in SW OK they indeed are stale AF.

No till farming has cetrainly had a major impact on migration since it started.
I don't think those in LA appreciate just how much grain is left in these fields. I hunted next to a corn field yesterday. The number of doves alone using it was impressive, not to mention the 1000s of ducks and geese. Every field I've stepped foot on in the last 3 years has been the same way, corn or milo everywhere.

Morning everyone
Had a single today that literally shite on us, jump up don’t shoot. He swings wide we throw a few rounds at him. Damn thing didn’t get out of sight and swung back and decoyed. He had crap all over him, eyes sunken, very sick bird. Then I go to walk the edge of pond, and there’s several carcasses along the shore that other birds are feeding on.

Hell some days I’m scared to light BBQ pit. It’s not going to take much and this area is going to burn. Very wet spring and summer, it’s like a giant tinder box out there now.

TX panhandle, 21, feels like 12, NW @7
Going to head out around 9:00 and start opening up a hole in the ice.

Been quite a few snows in TX panhandle last 2 seasons. Didn’t see many in 23. Guys up here get excited when they see them for some reason.
I was outside frying fish in shorts and flip flops last night. But it's supposed to start snowing in the early morning hours tonight and continue all day tomorrow.
One stick in dish on counter at all times or the wife yells at me. She eats a lot of toast and butter. :lol:
Do those for lunch quite often, love them.
Deer meat spaghetti and garlic bread. Been a long time since I had a freezer full of venison.

There was a noticeable increase in hunters when we jumped to 60/6. Hunter participation will drop if it goes to 30/3. ROI would go down on flooded corn as well.
You have birds because there’s no water above us. Miss river is bone dry.

I haven’t picked up my calls this morning. Just heard first shots. I knew I should have slept in after limiting yesterday.
