Dove Field Questions
Posted on 6/26/12 at 12:43 pm

Where can I buy millet (browntop and Japanese) in or around Baton Rouge? Tractor Supply?
Is it legal to plant a dove field and then hunt over it? The regulations on WLF are not very clear.

I believe so, you just can't intentionally knock it down i.e. bushhog it. Thus being easily assessable to the doves(baited field).

Agricultural crops, other feed, and natural vegetation may be manipulated to improve dove hunting. Manipulation means the alteration of natural vegetation or agricultural crops by activities such as mowing, shredding, discing, rolling, chopping, trampling, flattening, burning, or herbicide treatments. Manipulation does not include the distributing or scattering of seeds, grains, or other feed after removal from or storage on the field where grown. You should be aware that although you can hunt doves over manipulated agricultural crops, you cannot hunt waterfowl over manipulated agricultural crops except after the field has been subject to a normal harvest and removal of grain (i.e., post-harvest manipulation).

Yes you can. Don't confuse this with baiting for ducks.

What are the very tiny black seeds found so often in doves?

Thanks. That is what I needed to know.
I think I may be a little too late for opening weekend. Any way to speed up the maturation process? I know Japanese Millet is a little quicker and they sell fast-maturing sunflowers also, but don't know where to find it.

In order to not be found to be baiting, you must plant in accordance with the LSU Extension Service guidelines. No way you could plant millet for the fall. You can plant winter wheat, but the planting dates LSU usually suggests are late Spetember/Early October, so you can't do it for the first split, but maybe the second.
eta: you could plant now. I was thinking you were planting" right before the season. Not sure how long millet takes to mature, but you really only have 60+ days until the opener, and it isn't going to rain much btw now and then.

This is not considered baiting and is legal.

60-75 days. Japanese Millet is a little quicker. I'm thinking of planting it and waiting until the second weekend or even the second split if I need to. I disked this weekend and am planning on planting tomorrow evening if I can find seed.

Slick...I can give you a contact at the LSU ag dept. I used to work there as a student worker on the Ben Hur farm between Nicholson and River Road. Or go to the farm one day before noon. The big barn on the right hand of the road before the Aquafarm is where we processed all those seeds you want. They will give you loads of it if you talk and ask them.

Get this done so we can have an OB dove shoot

You need to plant it as soon as possible. Any of the Co-Ops can mix the necessary seed/fertilizer ratio for you. Rent a seed cart and pull your ball off the receiver and go pick one up. You can't pull them very fast or far so find a Co-Op closest to your field. Figure about 20-50 lbs of Jap Millet/acre.

Don't know what the scientific name is.
