[QUOTE="UpperTully, post: 5792200, member: 1983"] Same here! I always sat in a clump of willows and would experience the same thing… Me and another TnDeer member hunted it in 2012/2013 and had the idea to stage head lights on the stalks of corn, and randomly move them around to keep other hunters from coming and hunting on top of us. Boy let me tell you, it worked like a champ too! I never saw so many butt hurt fellas fill up the east end of that field, as they did that morning. Once they realized what happened, they played songs with duck calls and acted a fool. All the while we sat in those willows, with birds landing all around us for the longest. Those hunters eventually left before we started killing birds. We never pitched a deek or blew a call that morning. A couple years later I was told numerous complaints were filed on us and was a factor in TWRA deciding to go quota hunt. I’ve not seen the birds behave the same nor experienced a similar hunt since all the changes to the field took place. I can’t say all that work was an actual improvement. Like I said it’s been a gar hole ever since. Frankly, we have such few non-quota opportunities around that I really don’t try to kill birds unless the rivers are up and the weather is here. [/QUOTE]
