Ohio is north of Kansas, or is Kansas unique? "Winous Point Marsh Conservancy research biologist Brendan Shirkey conducted a similar study in northwest Ohio. The ducks in his study moved even less, an average of just 500 to 1,000 yards. That didn’t change throughout hunting season. The study area had a large amount of flooded corn impoundments constructed almost entirely for hunting purposes. Ducks flocked to that corn, but mostly at night. https://www.wildfowlmag.com/editorial/are-mallard-ducks-becoming-nocturnal/374937

I have no reason to want to meet you. By all definition, you're a bully, anti- everything I say, no matter how much science and data I have on my side. So thanks, but no thanks.

yes if it’s got less wetlands, less pressure and less open water. Again 10 years worth of harvest history tells a different tale, even if they feeding in corn at night(frozen, open or dry land) the percentage isnt and hasnt been high enough to effect the outcome.

That's good info, but they won't believe it, they'll find a way to explain it away.
Thanks for the link though.

figured

No, Im not anti every thing, i'm only anti-absolutes. You speak in absolutes as a blank statement, you had no history in the area he is building, nor did you even ask. Same thing you have always done. First thing you did was tell him he was doing it wrong. Thats always been your MO, from ranching/farming to Wetlands.

I have science on my side


What science


Screw you man find it yourself!!!!

I never said he was doing it wrong, lol.
I said you might want to consider adding something more than corn, and I gave the reason why, with science to back it up. And I've said multiple times, if corn works for him, that's great, but don't be surprised if the birds go nocturnal. It's not that hard to comprehend.

And right on cue, you reasoned around the science.

And you figured what, I don't want to fight like you're implying? Why would I do that, I am not a 12 year old boy, or a drunk in a bar room. If you weren't a jerk, I'd love to meet and hang out, but you're always rude, so I'll pass.

I didn't know i needed to give references.
People will also be more liable to believe what they find versus someone doing the work for themselves as well. I'm too busy building a lake right now anyways to go find resources that anyone can find with a quick Google search.

Yet you have plenty of time to come chit all over this thread?

lol, you running your mouth pushing to illicit a response and now act as if you are bullied. You wouldn't of said that in person,

I didnt reason around the science. Your science is a perception based on many factors, with very few that are relevant to his location. Even hailheah link isnt valid for area. That science link is based around WMA’s and large amounts of flooded corn and large wetlands. This area will have just 3 flooded fields in very large dry land farming area. Its not traditional wetland area nor does it have same surrounding pressure. It is a very good fly way though. Like I said you are arguing against their historical records of over a decade of success. What more proof do you need? Are they lying.

Yes great info that proves my point even more that ducks don’t roost on dry land 😂😂😂.

silver labs are better than any other color, its science, prove me wrong

Follow the science comrades.

Man, I still don't know who is right or wrong about where a duck lays its head at night. However, I am glad this thread revealed that I am not the only one who has shook my head at things KWood has said in past threads. The off season on this forum has had a good kickoff!

these young know it all's ran all us old hands off, they make it hard to even post anymore.

Silver labs?!! Everyone knows it's spotted labs now. Silvers were last year.

thats pretty funny

WHY OH WHY HAS NO ONE MENTIONED THAT INDIAN CORN WILL KEEP THEM FROM GOING NOCTURNAL?!?!?!?!

Everyone knows you kill more game with indian corn!

Its their chief preference because it makes them brave.

Old saying about having an alligator mouth backed up with an iguana [censored] comes to mind. “Bully” ahh I’m a victim. Typical of your generation.

you're gonna have to translate that for him

I think he's related to beaverwipe... or whatever that Dutchie's name was.

Alls I know is I'm NEVER buying BOSS SHELLS AGAIN! I bought 1 case for this most recent duck season and they performed worse than my cheap federal and Kents did.

Sir Ivan?

dutch royalty if I recall
