Actual hydrilla


Hydrilla verticillata is a non-native and highly invasive plant from Asia. I just didn’t know if you were specifically talking about that plant. It is on the Federal noxious weed list.

I know Jack crap about hunting in Louisiana but I wouldn’t want it in my duck holes.

but now there isn’t any hydrilla (food) to support any ducks so it sucks now too


What are you calling hydrilla?
Day late and a dollar short.

Close to Inverness?

re: Deer Drone Survey

I have had one done. Most of the people that do it don’t do it right. There is a strict protocol in how it should be done. The research is pretty new and out of Auburn. They say they are 100% accurate but they aren’t.

The protocol calls for multiple nights of flights and set on specific gridding and elevation. There have already been a couple changes to the protocol since it was released.

’m currently working on ASIM scoring. Average score if mature will use AI to generate a score based on the average potential of mature deer in the area. That lil 4pt you shot !! He’s 145 ASIM that spike don’t worry plug it into my 10$ a month app and you have a 138.5/8 ASIM!!!


DMAP already does that.
4 man today. Mixed bag of mallards, teal, pintails, 1 gadwall, and widgeon.

Will see how the season finishes but 400 ducks on the year 200 mallards with gadwalls, teal and pintails 2nd-4th in numbers. 18 woodies, 4 shovelers. And 2 widgeon pulling up the rear. Solid year so far with only 29 hunts in the book

woods to freeze though


Woods freeze the fastest
Yea, you can kill them when everything is frozen. I do it every time it happens. I fill the well motors up with fuel and turn them on. I have 4 pit blinds with a risers 25 yards in front of them.
Crank the wells and crack the risers. They will drop in like they do in warm water springs.

There is only one company that sells hybrid rice in the US


RiceTec is the only company that sales hybrid rice? I left Ag research long ago (college) but I never would have thought that. No wonder their rice is so expensive.

There is no gmo rice in the US and probably won’t be for a very long time if ever


I remember when the shite hit the fan over some 15ish years ago.
I thought BASF was working on some during or shortly after that. What ever happened with that?
I figured it was on the market by now.
Specifically Clearfield, how can that not be considered a GMO?

*I couldn’t wait for your answer and just googled it. I guess what I figured was “GMO” was actually “EMS”. I always assumed that was technically “GMO”.
Thanks for teaching me something tonight. I probably would have never known the difference.

Hybrid


Yea, we got that part. I guess there is only 1 variety of hybrid rice in the Southeast.

What he described sounded like, a seed company is trying to develop a new GMO variety of rice that hasn’t been approved by the USDA and is still in the non-biased trial part or the company is leasing land for the Regulated trials
Edit: it could be that they have to Destroy the seed that was left in the field so the seed can’t sprout next season. The “sterile” part could be buffers around the perimeter or that is used for “checks” to make sure the seeds are planted in the correct locations.
What kind of rice was he talking about?
211 total ducks in 18 hunts in the MS Delta
128 mallards
49 gadwall
15 teal
18 woodies
1 shoveler

Ended up with a 4 man of mallards. Should have been done shooting before 8am if we had the wind we were supposed to have according to NOAH and shot 1 hen that nobody shot at when a pair came in. Could have shot some wood ducks to make a 6 bird limit, but I didn’t want to shoot them,

I was told by a guy several years ago that someone/professor did some telemetry research on timber rattlesnakes and they said they found a bunch of them in trees late summer/early fall. The theory was they were specifically targeting squirrels before winter.

I never looked that research up.

Depending on location, I could see how some timber rattlesnakes could have more of a tendency to go up in trees. Like inside the MS levee. The ones that climbed trees survived more often or at least had better nutrition.

Any duck coming from or going to a baited area is a baited duck IF you know about the bait.


I always wondered about neighbors and how would/should they know if something is baited.

I believe it is 1/2 mile from a baited area unless you get a permit/permission to do research like banding, backpacks and blood samples. Then I think it is 1/4 mile. I have never done it during season though.

Maybe they're here for a bit.


Where about? Arkansas?
I will be shocked if we don’t kill a 4 man of mallards. I have never hunted it though. Might get lucky and have a couple gadwall follow some, but it is a pretty small hole for gadwall. Sometimes gadwalls surprise me when they start following mallards.
The guys better have modified or lite Modified in.

Already told them no wood ducks but they better keep their head on a swivel.
