HCR 54: WILDLIFE/HABITAT: Urges and requests the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to study the impact of flooded corn on migratory waterfowl behavior and to reinstate the enforcement mechanism that restricted the growth of hunting over intentionally flooding standing crops

This concurrent resolution asks the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to study how flooding corn fields to attract ducks affects the migration patterns and population levels of waterfowl. The bill specifically targets hunters in Louisiana who intentionally flood standing crops, a practice the state believes may be altering natural bird routes and reducing the number of ducks reaching the region. It also requests that the federal agency reinstate previous rules that limited hunting over such flooded agricultural areas. This legislative action is non-binding and serves only to urge the federal government to conduct an evaluation and consider adjusting regulations accordingly.
