Corrected: MANIPULATION means the alteration of natural vegetation or agricultural crops by activities that include but are not limited to mowing, shredding, discing, rolling, chopping, trampling, flattening, burning or herbicide treatments. The term manipulation does not include the distributing or scattering of grain, seed, or other feed after removal from or storage on the field where grown. http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/sites/d..._2011-2012.pdf
I take the last sentence, as if you cut your 1st crop, disk pot holes, flood, you would be able to hunt. I guess the safest bet would be immediately after cutting 1st crop, go disk the pot poles, let the voluntary 2nd crop come up around the pot holes and do not disturb the area you did not disk after the 1st harvest and you would be 100% legal.
Anyway, on another note, we have been checked in the blinds described above in the past and was never ticketed for baiting, just over the limit a couple of times for not "accurately counting". Maybe this is a grey area that they really don't enforce because IMO, it would be pretty hard to prove when you plowed your pot holes, before the 2nd crop voluntary came back or after.
