re: Shortstopping Ducks over 25 years not 20

I know a guy in Iowa, LA who poured supersacks of corn into his crawfish pond and bragged about how much over the limit of mallards he shot until he was caught in the act of pouring more corn.
Amos Faulk use to bring a coffee can of rotten corn with him and sink it in front of the blind he was hunting in.

The more concerning issue is that 3,000 acres of corn is equal to 2/3’s of LAs estimated food
How does 3,000 acres of standing corn produce more food than 500,000 acres of harvested corn in Louisiana?
I know combines have come along way since I drove a JD 6600, but there's still a tremendous amount of residue grain that hits the ground.
Not disputing your statement, it just seems wild.

Correct I’ve been to habitat flats quite a few times. The majority of the places they hunt are traffic blinds.

I'm assuming they don't account for grain left in dry fields.

Probably true. I'm an old guy who used to hunt fields and marshes south of Lake Charles in the 70s. One could kill a limit of mallards in those rice fields and the fresh water marshes easily. Later (2004) I leased west of Houston and the first winter we killed many mallards. And then they essentially disappeared. When I read about hunts in these areas nowadays it breaks my heart to hear about ringneck and gadwall (grey ducks). With a few teal sprinkled in. One winter in SWLA it was so dry we had no water. So we hunted public in Lacassine Refuge. We limited in green heads. I don't see those reports anymore. In 2013, I hunted Kaw Lake in NE Oklahoma. The place was lousy with mallards. There they dropped water in the summer and planted millet up in the mud flats. And then they let the water gradually rise in winter. Talk about short stopping. Thousands of acres of millet.

AI says grain loss for modern combines is 1-3%. Over the millions of ac of grain grown that’s not a lot left on the ground.
Flooding crops is baiting.

This is hard to believe. I watch deer and turkey feed in those fields in Illinois from the day they cut it until the end of the season.

I remember when this guy was a serious person.
He is not a buffoon, he just plays one for his audience.

the next hours conversation was unreal.... he thought I was kidding till I woke up a childhood friend and put him on the phone

It’s been 15 years since I’ve been on a good duck hunt limiting out on mallards easily (within an hour) where they just poured in consistently
The last great hunt where 8 of us limited out in 30 min and spent the next 2 hours watching them pour in like a tornado crashing through the trees and landing so close they splashed water on us was in 2011

Maybe 1-3% per pass.
I can show you at least 5 corn circles within 20 miles of me right now that geese and ducks have been feeding in since they were harvested in October and there’s still corn waste left.

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.

Exactly.
They aren’t just in it for shits and giggles they’re in it bc there’s food there
