    lotta feathers being ruffled.
    WAMPUSKAT, STICK TO SHOOTING YOUR MERGANSERS AT BENNETTS POINT. IVE SEEN NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE FROM YOUR POSTS!
    i was talking about DT's ramble about electricity from a plant, and JAB's ramble about making all man made impoundments illegal. and the "hunting ducks in the timber is the easiest" remark. well bud ducks don't eat trees! maybe they do at two rivers, but hey, i am not a "WATERFOWL MANAGER"
    I simply posted something an elder hunter that has been hunting the santee before the lakes were built, said. it made since to me. and as far as my beliefs go. i think that hunting over standing corn should be illegal, not harvested fields. I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING SPECIFIC!!
    But fellas, any person of intelligence can see that CORN and WATER together is baiting ducks, whether its legal or not. i flood fields for birds, and this year held close to 3000 ducks, but i don't shoot my fields because they are sanctuaries. can anyone disagree with a relavant reply that CORN and Water together is not baiting?
    if so please reply.

    Yeah how about this, slick...

    From the USFWS (the only opinion that matters)


    What Is Baiting?

    You cannot hunt waterfowl by the aid of baiting or on or over any baited area where you know or reasonably should know that the area is or has been baited.

    Baiting is the direct or indirect placing, exposing, depositing, distributing, or scattering of salt, grain, or other feed that could lure or attract waterfowl to, on, or over any areas where hunters are attempting to take them.

    A baited area is any area on which salt, grain, or other feed has been placed, exposed, deposited, distributed, or scattered, if that salt, grain, or feed could serve as a lure or attraction for waterfowl.

    The 10-Day Rule

    A baited area remains off limits to hunting for 10 days after all salt, grain, or other feed has been completely removed. This rule recognizes that waterfowl will still be attracted to the same area even after the bait is gone.

    Waterfowl Hunting on Agricultural Lands

    Agricultural lands offer prime waterfowl hunting opportunities. You can hunt waterfowl in fields of unharvested standing crops. You can also hunt over standing crops that have been flooded. You can flood fields after crops are harvested and use these areas for waterfowl hunting.

    Have a nice day...

    I know what the law is JAB.
    but im talking about personal feeling towards the idea. do you not feel in your heart that food used to attract waterfowl (that did not grow naturally) is somewhat wrong?
    maybe not, its fact that we were raised differently (none better, none worse) but i personally feel that food used to attract waterfowl for hunting purposes is wrong.
    if you disagree than that is fine by me.

    duckman, you may know more than i do, and im not trying to say that you dont, but i dont see anywhere on the SCDNR site that says it is illegal to bait waterfowl. it says that it is illegal to take or attempt to take waterfowl over bait. i have also had a GW tell me that you can put corn out all that you want, but the second you come close to it with a gun or within 10 days of it being gone, you're illegal.

    I agree Nab, but is making money off ducks considered a "normal agricultural practice"?
    That would be the only reason to flood harvested beans.


    That was the point.

    CD - just about as much as flooding an unharvested corn field is.
    I always thought a website was a selling tool, not a product repair manual!

    You can bait on private land all you want - can't shoot it! LOL The key words are "public waters" - the state Legislature passed this and not at the request of the DNR! JAB is correct! When the Feds revised the strict liability law pertaining to baiting - they added the conspiracy charge that will hurt a rich man and kill a poor man! It would take a real fool to bait public waters in SC and risk the conspiracy charge.

    There is usually a great deal of expense involved in flooding any ag field. Many simply won't hold water and some that will won't hold ducks. Contrary to what some folks around here THINK, adding water to a grain field does not necessarily turn an area into a waterfowl paradise.

    Very well said kat - we keep hearing about all this new habitat that the tamie operations create - what alot don't know if that if they didn't put the tamies there alot of those places would never hold many wild birds so how is this new "habitat" helping?
    Flooded fields/ impoundments whatever need to be in the right place - something even JABIII has said and then unsaid and said again.
