[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 3701372, member: 12277"] Thanks. Sorting through all these "legal" baiting practices -and being confident a visiting Game Warden will agree with my understanding of the law - keeps me nervous. :) I'm sure that at one time, the words "Normal agricultural practice" meant just that. It was legal to hunt in a corn field after it had been combined and the fact that the small amount of corn accidentally left would attract game was deemed acceptable since it was left there due to the combines inability to get it all. As always happens, people read the law and start to test the limits and now we plant entire fields just for hunting. :) Specifically on the idea of the Winter Wheat as a cover crop, I do like that one since a cover crop IS a legitimate farming practice if you don't want all your high ground top soil down in the low parts of your farm. It seems that the key to doing this legally is to be sure the ground is disked up enough to leave plenty of bare dirt so that the Wheat really has a chance to take root and grow in a sufficient amount to protect the ground from erosion. I haven't had a good dove hunt in so many years taht I can't recall....it's been well over 20 years.....I just may do this this year. [/QUOTE]
