Baiting Regs

[Sprig58]

Im wondering if this is the same tool that was citing people over on the eastside for hunting geese that were heading to grain elevators to feed.  According to this dude, if you were calling at these geese, even if you were a mile or more away from the silos, you were hunting baited birds,  As they are under the influence of the scattered grain.  Un freakin believable!

How about this - would this be baiting:

I like the sleeper decoy in the front 

I forgot who did it, but one of the decoy companies threw in a couple free fake corn cobs in with their box of decoys

GHG FFD's came with two ears of fake corn in the harvester packs. It works, I have seen geese peck at the plastic. I have also been checked with a couple dozen plastic ears in the field.

I have a few bags of plastic ears of corn.  Never tried them, but I am sure in the right situation birds would lock onto them if they had been feeding in corn.  This should be legal as it is a decoy.

How do you know it was the fake corn not the decoys or the calling that worked.
Try hunting a field of fake corn only and no decoys and then tell us if it works.

PS, I have some ocean front property for sale in Arizona if youre interested..

I have actually just used the plastic corn, no decoys. Worked well, especially if you can set it out a couple days ahead. I also watched geese land in a spread and knock a DSD over to steal the fake corn from under it. Nothing works every, time but geese seem to know what ears of corn are.  Especially if your using them in a corn field.


About that ocean front property is it a good price?

If true, what a dimwhit!

As far as I know you can legally hunt over grain that is in the field during the "normal" course of standard agricultural practices.  If a grain trailer tips over in a muddy field, you should legally be able to hunt over the residue.  Too bad some of these guys don't have anything better to do.  BTW, not bashing on hard-working, non-brain dead law enforcement.
