Another DB outfitter?

[ED Vanderbeck]

Corn will outproduce pounds per acre over moist soil up to 500% more pounds per acre moist soil produces 2000 lbs per acre under idéal conditions 200 bushel corn produces 12,000 lbs to the acre which one will they eat out first. If guys ever start flooding corn in the dakotas we will have a huge decrease in the number of birds coming to Kansas. Neosho lost nearly all it's birds mid December my guess they ate out the moist soil and left before the big freeze showed up. The kdwp guys say corn makes them nocturnal feeders ignoring the real reason being pressure and overhunting. I guess stewie has them trained well

Drive by outfitters/nonresidents all to flooded corn, what’s left? Shot sizes for geese, bismuth vs steel, flat bills vs ball caps?

Glad to know after 11 pages the DB Outfitters leasing private land is no longer a problem

I don’t know why, but with a January thaw we shoot as many in moist soil and buckbrush as we do in corn. Maybe there’s a locational reason, or because the temps have to get in the 30s and 40s for the ice to melt, and for moist soil to become attractive again.

If you are fortunate to have a variety of habitats you might get lucky with one of them … or you might strike out on all of them. But I do know any amount of unnecessary pressure will ruin the shoot before you ever get started. Anymore I scout with binoculars and my ears, and especially so during late season.

Invertebrates? Perhaps so.

Vertical cover and invertebrates

Buckbrush provides two needs……….vertical and horizontal cover and invertebrates

Residents only for opening weekends including second split would be a nice gesture.

That's fair.

⁰^^^ Pintails in MO tells me the migration is either still north of there or the reverse migration is on full bloom as traditionally the pintsil migration is on the gulf coast by November 15th.

Reverse is on....been watching it for a week.
