Snafu,
That really isn't a Joke, you bring something up that COULD be done to "Plant Ducks" BUT, And I Say BUT Again, it would be Illegal to hunt off of for atleast a year!
It is called implementing.
I've heard about this done in some states were the Baiting Laws are not as Strict as here in PA.
You build a Structure that can be moved. You then place it were there are Ducks in an area. You Bait it and Continue to Bait it till they use it on a Regularly Basis.
After they get used to the Sight of this Structure, you Start moving it, till you move the Ducks to were you want them. Once they are to the area you want them, you DO NOT Bait it any longer!
I've read were guys have taken a Fiberglass Bath tub, filled it with cement and stuck a Pine Tree in it and placed it on a river or stream, they bait it and bait it and let the ducks get used to this Tree.
They then move this till they get the ducks to were they want them.
EVERYONE would have to do alittle reading on their Baiting Laws of their State, to be sure they could do this in the off season!
Also, this Structure, Would need to be REMOVED once the Ducks are moved to the area you want them, so as to not be using the Baited Structure as an Attractent!
Also, have you ever seen what a tame Duck can do to an area?
"Plant" A tame duck for awhile in the off season, after doing the plant planting and the Wild Ducks start to come in, remove the tame duck and let the Wild Ducks have the area.
I've never done this, have only read about it.
You Joke about the "planting of Ducks" Not really a Joke, it's been done in other places from things I have read....
