I may be wrong , but I don't think you can....volunteer rice is still an agriculture crop...be impossible to prove you didn't sow it . Only millet is considered volunteer / natural vegetation and then can only be maniplated before it heads out. JMO I'd check with MDWFP

I stand corrected. Only volunteer millet can be manipulated. Here is something I read about rice:

The position of the USFW is that any rice field with ratoon growth that produced heads cannot be manipulated in any way or it will be considered a baited field for waterfowl hunting purposes. You are allowed to hunt over a rice field that was rolled prior to the emergence of heads produced by a ratoon crop. However, if rice heads have emerged in a ratoon crop, you must leave it standing, without manipulation, in order to hunt waterfowl in that field. If the field had ratoon rice heads and was rolled, you cannot hunt over the field until it is no longer considered baited according to USFW guidelines. Please advise rice growers of the situation immediately.

Is it considered manipulation if something gets stuck in the field and you mash a bucnh down walking around trying to get it out? 8)

Using a 4 wheeler to place decoys while making an ever widening circle in front of the blind is a common practice of non manipulation :lol:
