Water / Fields / Dry

Postby stitch » Tue Nov 01, 2016 8:56 pm

Not sure the best way to phrase this, but what are everyone's thoughts / plans / etc regarding flooding fields? Extremely dry........take a lot of diesel to run pumps to flood fields.....not much rain in sight... warm weather.....what you gonna do?

I have never hunted fields but have a friend that has a couple fields to hunt this year, so I am trying to learn. My question is what does stubble leave for ducks that is more attractive than a dirt field?

Esjay I don't know the cost to leave stubble but for the farmer to leave his beans this year it was $600 an acre.

We just ask our farmer not to disk our fields til spring...of course, he leases the farming rights from the landowner and doesn't actually own the land....that said, I've killed them over dirt, but the stubble is better IMO.
