Won’t change anything.

Nahh. Just stayed at a couple Holiday Inns

There is only one company that sells hybrid rice in the US


RiceTec is the only company that sales hybrid rice? I left Ag research long ago (college) but I never would have thought that. No wonder their rice is so expensive.

I remember when the shite hit the fan over some 15ish years ago.
I thought BASF was working on some during or shortly after that. What ever happened with that?
I figured it was on the market by now.
Specifically Clearfield, how can that not be considered a GMO?

*I couldn’t wait for your answer and just googled it. I guess what I figured was “GMO” was actually “EMS”. I always assumed that was technically “GMO”.
Thanks for teaching me something tonight. I probably would have never known the difference.

Hybrid


Yea, we got that part. I guess there is only 1 variety of hybrid rice in the Southeast.

What he described sounded like, a seed company is trying to develop a new GMO variety of rice that hasn’t been approved by the USDA and is still in the non-biased trial part or the company is leasing land for the Regulated trials
Edit: it could be that they have to Destroy the seed that was left in the field so the seed can’t sprout next season. The “sterile” part could be buffers around the perimeter or that is used for “checks” to make sure the seeds are planted in the correct locations.
What kind of rice was he talking about?
211 total ducks in 18 hunts in the MS Delta
128 mallards
49 gadwall
15 teal
18 woodies
1 shoveler

Ended up with a 4 man of mallards. Should have been done shooting before 8am if we had the wind we were supposed to have according to NOAH and shot 1 hen that nobody shot at when a pair came in. Could have shot some wood ducks to make a 6 bird limit, but I didn’t want to shoot them,

I was told by a guy several years ago that someone/professor did some telemetry research on timber rattlesnakes and they said they found a bunch of them in trees late summer/early fall. The theory was they were specifically targeting squirrels before winter.

I never looked that research up.

Depending on location, I could see how some timber rattlesnakes could have more of a tendency to go up in trees. Like inside the MS levee. The ones that climbed trees survived more often or at least had better nutrition.

Any duck coming from or going to a baited area is a baited duck IF you know about the bait.


I always wondered about neighbors and how would/should they know if something is baited.

I believe it is 1/2 mile from a baited area unless you get a permit/permission to do research like banding, backpacks and blood samples. Then I think it is 1/4 mile. I have never done it during season though.

Maybe they're here for a bit.


Where about? Arkansas?
I will be shocked if we don’t kill a 4 man of mallards. I have never hunted it though. Might get lucky and have a couple gadwall follow some, but it is a pretty small hole for gadwall. Sometimes gadwalls surprise me when they start following mallards.
The guys better have modified or lite Modified in.

Already told them no wood ducks but they better keep their head on a swivel.

Also, where are you hunting?


lol I was like wtf. He must want a visit by the feds also. Then I remembered the Pacific Flyway is 7 mallard limits, I think. Washington is anyway
quote:

They were dropping it into their timber holes allegedly.


In the holes or the whole block of woods? If it was just the holes why not do it by hand? I figured it was the whole GTR and that was why the plane was needed. How lazy do you have to be to not do it by hand if you were only doing it in the holes?
Reminds me of a guy I know of planting rice in a .25 acre hole and trying to tell people that was why the ducks were coming in like they were. I am sure some of yall have seen the videos

The number of wild birds in the Atlantic flyway is below roughly 35% and they are already having a negative affect on that population as well


Look what I put in the Senator Kennedy thread.

I was deer hunting between some duck holes this afternoon trying to see what the duck numbers were like and also trying to kill some deer to meet the yearly quota. I heard multiple bullfrogs.
If you didn’t know any better you would have thought it was May by their calls.
Deer have been extremely hard to kill this year. After the rut sightings went way down and the temps went way up. Hopefully they get better to finish the season out. We have 50 deer in the books and would love to get another 50 down.
If not, I might have to get some deprivation tags this spring. That would suck
Hopefully you can see that data.

Ducks Unlimited is doing this research along with UTEP. I am sending samples in that we killed. We are also trapping and drawing blood samples after the season with MSU on this property.

re: Goose Conservation Hunts

Posted by Outdoorreb on 1/9/26 at 5:04 pm to
Probably won’t be many more chances to go one. The snow goose population is so low Texas did away with their conservation season.

If you think the mallard population is way down, you need to check their numbers

yall can blame La habitat all you want - but the facts are the ducks aren't making it here to even know if the habitat is good or not


I thought it was February when y’all’s ducks got there anyway?

Louisiana has way more ducks than the Ms delta. I want my senator to write a strongly worded letter stating the artificially flooded acres in Louisiana is stoping ducks from coming back up because y’all didn’t have enough water.
That actually happened a few years ago when y’all were in extreme drought. A lot birds had to come back up because the marsh was shite (I think yall even had an hurricane that destroyed what was good) and y'all didn’t have enough water caught because the drought. P.S. I am just playing devil’s advocate about this. I have never hunted Louisiana so I wouldn’t know how bad it actually is.

According to the to the last aerial surveys yall had way more “ducks” but we had more mallards. I think y'all even had more ducks than Arkansas had.
The only way I can see them fight it is if they weren’t hunting it. Big time “developers” have been known to fly corn on an area for 3 years then start trying to sale it as “best duck spot around”. It worked on a lot of buyers.

It is legal if you don’t hunt within like 1/2 mile or so.

Edit: I have never heard of rice being used that way, but it could have been the cheaper than using corn. Specifically in that area. They probably just save some in the grain bins.
Talking about being harder to detect, I have heard of people using grain sorghum (Milo for some). They said the nets the wardens use wouldn’t catch that small of a seed. I don’t know if that was BS or not. Millet would be even harder to detect, but a lot of pilots don’t like spreading it because the seed gets everywhere and is hard to clean out of the plane.
*This is concerning summer time when the pilots are fertilizing ag crops and I wanted to fly some millet on in some old catfish ponds that were too wet to get a tractor in* :spank:
