Long Read but well written explanation of Louisianans frustration

[BOGSTER]

So you’re okay with hunting over hydrilla that was out there by man but not corn out there by man? Got it.

I’m ok hunting ducks in flooded corn as of last week. Doesn’t mean I can’t see how it’s negatively affecting duck hunting.

Am I ok hunting ducks on a 170k acre 2 lake watershed full of submersed vegetation? It’s that rhetorical?

[JABIII]

Bullshit.

unnatural and non-native aren’t the same.

80acres of impounded 180 bushel corn flooded to the ears and 100k acres of scattered SAV across vast flats of scattered cypress isn’t comparable and you know it.

You are simply picking and choosing. One is going to give you more opportunities? Fucking A. We weren't playing around. Now tell me it is harder to kill a mallard duck with 50 pounds of corn under a tree than an 80 acre field...

Also, what retards would flood corn to the ear?

Bwahahahah! was wondering how long it would take for someone to catch this!

This(below) is now being posted by the Louisiana group to help in their defense of NO private impoundments. They really want all impoundments bone dry to force the ducks where they can chase them 7 days a week and call it natural. They absolutely hate an undisturbed duck. Nothing seems to bother them more in life.

I shook my head 40 years ago when this was first published.

There is a great gamekeeper podcast discussing this issue with an actual biologist

Folks everywhere hate the thought of a duck finding refuge, on public or private water. I wonder where folks think ducks will go when we open federal refuges to public duck hunting.

I do love the weather topic. It seems to be relevant everywhere except the hundreds of thousands that bee-line to Mexico every year in 75 degree temps.

Or the 10’s of thousands of mallards that leave Canada and head straight to the refuges and corn ponds in Tennessee by mid December regardless of weather

Straight from Cohen. The blizzard only moved them 40 miles. They had been there since mid December and this huge weather event only moved them 40 miles. Want to guess where those food sources on ice were? Why move south when you can walk on ice and eat corn all day.

Duck Commander 2.0

He wants to stop flooding unharvested crops, north of Louisiana.

And here's his plan for refuges.

[Calibogue]

Take away PRIVATE refuge and sanctuaries, hunt the public ones....!
makes perfect sense to me....

I laughed

We ain’t talking mallards in SC. Them things are a myth lol.


Flood to the ear is standard Clarendon County protocol sir….. come take a ride with me.

Hell we flood to the ear on one side and flood over the tassel on the other ��

Flopduster, ya notice how the conversation fizzles out quick when you point out things like this ?

There's been multiple videos and documented accounts spanning back over a decade that mallard ducks will stay in the northern hemisphere on corn and walk on the ice through any weather the Lord has thrown at them in the last 20 years.

And if corn ponds are banned there will only be half as many duck “hunters” (shooters).
I know dozens that never duck hunted before they could shoot them in corn ponds and would never put in the effort to hunt them if their corn ponds were taken away.

Looks like actual gps trackers show most moved more than 40 miles

Ive seen multiple reports this year of the mallards staying put up north are not walking around on frozen corn ponds. They are dry feeding in agricultural fields with No snow cover.

Absolutely. My brother sends me video of ducks standing on the ice in the Detroit River, Lake Erie is 95% frozen over. Folks think sub zero temps move ducks, some it does, but if they have food they'll stay North, especially since days are getting longer.

I had cousins hunting open water on Erie Dec 31st. When I was a kid there would be ice shanty's on the lake by then.

I know nothing about that area of the country. Are there now more impoundments in that area with food? What’s keeping them there now that wasn’t the 30 years ago?

Mallards have always been thick around Detroit, thanks to the Indians across the bay legally dumping corn on Walpole...
