We should just start a dove club and lease a field. That’s what we did in sc. I have the know how and can plant it if anyone has the epuipment or if property owner does. Obviously it would be for next year being that ya gotta play before June

You’ve got time. You start planting wheat a few weeks before the season. Lots of doves are killed on fresh planted wheat fields especially in mid TN. I’ll be in a tree stand on 9/1 in KY

Opening day of Dove season around here is just as bad as anywhere else,,,if you dont have a private field be prepared to fight the crowds,,,state leased fields n any wma field worth its salt will have people on them before daylight,,,I'm usually one of those,,,I have not missed opening day in 30yrs,,,threatened to quit a job over it

We can make it happen. Yeah wheat fields around here can be good for sure just gotta make sure there isn’t any piles of seed laying around planting that late. Sunflower fields with a few corn rows for cover have always worked well for us. Sesame also brings em in thick. If we could find a field and go the wheat route I’d be down for that too. Anyone know some prospective fields? Preferably with some power lines??

Here you can actually bush it.and seeds go everywhere it is ok. Just do not spead seeds tht was not grown. So if some seeds are there from normal agr. process it is ok. That is according to the handbook.

Do you own it rusty. If so why could you not plant on it? When you say big how big?

Your too late for corn and sunflower to be ready in time for sept. 1. I’d look at doing wheat. It’s super cheap and very easy to plant. Most just broadcast seed and disk in.
