- We planted our 2 acre duck hunting impoundment. We used a mixture of crops and native species to increase the duck use days. For planting we used a mixture of brown top millet, sorghum, sunflowers, and corn.
Good stuff! Never tried Sunflowers for ducks, only for Doves (and Deer by accident). Excited to see how his this turns out for you. Just finished planting our third property in rice/millet.
Sounds like a 12x24 blind would be good there too. I got power tools
Cool stuff 👍🦆
What is the difference between food plots and baiting? If you plant with the absolute intention to not Harvest the crop to attract wildlife is that not basically the same as dumping 50lb bags of corn? This is a legal loophole that has been exploited by elite duckclubs for years. Wildlife doesn’t belong to us as hunters. They don’t belong to anyone period thus keeping wildlife well wild. Hunters are a funny group in General. Our numbers are dwindling, politicians are absolutely agianst us in every way yet we do all we can to keep the sport as exclusive as can be. People don’t hunt because the opportunities aren’t there for them to enjoy the sport. Private clubs, private impoundments have absolutely destroyed waterfowl hunting in areas of the United States. I love capitalism buy all the land you can afford to buy. Why people feel the need to bait wildlife, to horde what in no means belongs to them is beyond me.
Lol for one this creates wetland habitat where it hadn’t existed before. The main reason Duck numbers are diminishing is because of wetland habitat loss across the the country not because of “duck clubs” and honestly we would be better off creating impoundments and restoring wetlands this way than just keeping it all drained for agriculture. Would you rather just everyone cram on to public land lol? Should’ve deer Hunters not manage their property to benefit deer? But there are some good papers on it if you wanna read . But it is an attract same as rice fields or soy bean fields for deer or food plots in general. But our pond is a good example of how more small farms all of the country can create habitat.
What's killing duck hunting has many factors, private impoundments might play a small part but bigtime landowners locking up a ton of land (particularly waterbodies and wetlands that used to be public) is a travesty. I'm looking at you Louisiana. But if you got a farm why wouldnt you make a duck hole? Better than having a boat race in the dark at the wma and getting in a pepper match with some guys who show up next to you right at shooting hours and ruin it for both parties.
Your wrong you can Bush hog corn
You can harvest it but can’t bush hog it
Went to school for fish and game and you can’t bush hog it. He’s correct.
Pretty sure you can bush hog it, but have to wait 30 days to hunt over it.
@@benblazek3305wrong, you can’t do anything you plant even millet. Now, whatever grows up on its own you can manipulate.
@AlluvialOutdoors sean Mann beat bating charges in Maryland a few years back for Bush hogging planted corn and hunting over it. You can use his case as existing precedent to beat similar charges. Gonna cost $5-10k in federal court for a lawyer that can win, but it's entirely possible and there is already favorable precedent if you know what cases to cite
