Flooded Corn

[brdhunter]

I always thought hunting flooded corn was considered bating waterfowl? Just wondering if anyone can clear this up for me. Thanks in advance for the responses.

It's fine. Water can come to the corn, but you can't bring corn to the water.

We hunted in ND this weekend and 75% of the ducks we shot were in flooded unharvested corn fields. It is perfectly legal.

I have a question similar to this topic. I was reading in Field & Stream probably a year or so ago and one quick tip they gave was to lay a light colored (white or clear) tarp in a picked field and throw in some field and water decs. Apparently this setup is suppose to look like standing water in the field. Has anyone actually tried this? It seems a little shaky to me.

Yes some people have done that to make it look like sheet water and have shot ducks over it...I have not tried it but it would be interesting to see how it turns out.

Lots of threads on using tarps late season...try the search function.

Flooded cornfield, if it's picked, is just a natural thing if you get enough rain...a normal agricultural practice
