I didn't think you were being smart. But the root of it is top sown wheat. And it was incidents like the Youth Hunts stated that inject inconsistency.
"Last year, a difference of opinion on the legality of hunting over top-sown wheat between a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Agent and the WFF Division caused two youth dove hunts to be canceled.
To ensure the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources had a correct interpretation of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) regulations, WFF Director Corky Pugh asked Fish and Wildlife for a clarification of the regulations regarding “intent.”
“The regulations have not changed,” Pugh said after receiving the reply from USFWS officials. “If a field is planted according to the Cooperative Extension System guidelines, the determination of ‘intent’ is not relevant.”"
This same interpretation/individual camped out up here for a while. I wouldn't bush-hog any field unless I had a pre-approved plan or obtained pre-approval prior to opening day.
