The whole waterfoul (baiting) is a very grey line area, It just depends on the warden! If you look at example Eagle Lakes Outfitters they flood areas of there cornfields I personally would call that baiting. Did not mean to get off the thread topic sorry.
If you don't manipulate the crop or spread it you are good to go.  If it is harvested under standard harvest methods it is considered baited for a period of time or until all the crop is removed from the harvested portion.  If you flood it, then knock it down it may be considered baited for the season and is technically off limits to hunting for the season.
Grow it, flood it and don't manipulate it and you won't have any issues.

I'm pretty sure you can legally hunt any crop that is harvested/spilled/left in a manner normal to that crop.  In fact, on page 34 of the waterfowl regs under What Is Illegal?, fourth paragraph it says you cannot hunt "where grain is present and stored...  ...because they have exposed grain not related to normal agricultural planting, harvest or post-harvest manipulation..."  Bold is my emphasis which indicates that if it is there due to normal practices, which would include missed ears or spilled grain at harvest transfer points, it is perfectly legal to hunt and is not considered baited.   :dunno:

His hunting area sucks, His dad actually runs the place for him his name is Al Erickson, They leave there dekes out all year. It's on the road where they use to board the jail birds to work on the farm. :bdid: I've grown up in the valley and almost all the waterfoul sucks out here IMO.

This couldn't be farther from the truth.  I am a member here - not at all true.  Been a member for 5 years.

Is this Eagles Perch?

No sir.

 :yeah:
Been trying in the valley to get private access to anything, ANYTHING, impossible. The birds in the valley go to the reserve and stay there. You may be able to get a good hunt in if the weather turns bad, i.e. major snow, wind. Other than that, its gone to heck. The sad thing is, its all about the dollar. I personally cannot afford to be a member of a hunt club, yet they are buying up all the land piece by piece. Sad.

Just got back from the property - limited pressure around, heard a few shots.  Was able to bag 5 (all mallards).  Need some weather.  Hntrspud- PM me later this season, we're allowed to bring a guest towards the end of the season, I'll take you out for a hunt.  :tup:
