Let's talk about this with the duck season over and deer season closing. We need to start getting our food plots ready for summer plots that attract the doves. We are planting sunflower,milet, And maybe some sorghum and field corn Both are good for deer and very attractive to doves. Question is when do you plant your dove fields and how close to sept 3rd do you start cutting parts of the fields. I've heard you cut in sections 2 weeks a part. Let me hear yalls tactics.

Plant sunflower mid/end of April They also have a 75 day variety so you can wait longer. Dove hunting round these parts is serus, serus bidness.

I would start at least two weeks before season. That is what we have always done.

Also, your avatar pic does not work.

I plant peanuts for row cropping and after we pick them we have some pretty good shoots. I plant sorghum, pearl x2 millet, and brown top millet for cows at the last of march. I have found that aftet cutting all those for hay they seem to favor the brown top.

I definitely agree...I had a couple great hunts over brown top cut for cows just like you're taking ab and we had ab 10 guys out there for two straight weekend shooting limits in a few hours over it...they would just come in droves after the sun came up

We found that if we run a disk through the patch of bushhogged millet, sorgum, corn, or whatever it helps a lot. Turn the dirt over every other day and they love that shite. I've watched them and they will eat, fly in the fresh dirt then go land in a tree or on a powerline and digest then do it all over again
