Best Way to Find a Field to Hunt

[cubbies11]

We got flooded out of our spot with all the rain and the high water. I would like to find some flooded fields. What is the best way to go about this? I figure just drive around and look then ask the farmer. Could anyone recommend a starting point I was thinking some place south of the cities. Also how are the farmers about hunting thier fields. Thanks for the help again.

You might want to get a hold of a plat book for whatever county you are planning on hunting. It will tell you who owns the land, not who farms it. If the land is leased, you need to get permission from the landowner, not the farmer unless it is written in the lease that the farmer is allowed to hunt it.

Situation where I am: There is a flooded cornfield with hundreds of ducks using it every morning\night. I am buddies with the guy who farms it but he leases it from a doctor down in the cities who is very anti-hunting. No one can get on there. Which is kind of good because it keeps all those ducks in the area, you just need to find out where they are feeding to get a shot at em.

Anyway, plat books are a good thing to have if you are hunting an unfamilar area. The one I have for Wright County has phone #'s of landowners also.

Yes, plat books are the clear ticket. Keep an close eye out for flooded corn fields, or harvested corn fields with any pockets of water in them. I've seen it many times where you can't even see the water from the road with the naked eye, so you really have to be aware.
