WDFW CORN STUBBLE?

[Bennick16]

I am thinking about trying out a Washington Department of Fish and wildlife reserve to hunt corn Stubble field.  I don't have any full body decoys but I have eight dozen floaters that I think could work. Has anyone tried hunting the reserve to hunt fields? Is it worth my time ?

The way to learn is go out and try it!

Have hunted it a couple times this year. Last time out didn't see a thing. That was three weeks ago though. Time before that I had seen about 300 ducks and they were very shy. That said I don't have any field duck decoys. Haven't seen as many geese as I would have thought though. Mostly ducks. I would suggest the ones just north of the rest stop on I90. How's the snow over there?

I have one reserved just below Moses Lake it's area 553. The snow is about 2 inches deep and crusty

Haven't hunted that one. Only the ones just north of the rest stop and hunted the one just south of I90. The time we didn't see anything there was about that much snow. You might give it a shot but I wouldn't have high expectations. Hunting the water near the rest stop seems to be good. Always hear some shooting there.

Have you scouted it and seen birds on it? Just answer that question to yourself. If you have and have seen no birds, or any landing/flying over close to the field it's a waste. 2 inches of crusty snow is bad too. I had a private corn field that was loaded with ducks prior to the snow, once it snowed and froze they haven't been back. Moved on to a field down the road with cattle in it, eating cow crap that has corn in it.

I usually work all day so I have not scouted that specific spot yet. I don't know the exact depth of the snow except I do know there are a lot of cattle that walk in the field. I was able to go out at night and look at it but I did not go very far due to the time of day
