Got late permission to do a dove field up here in NC. Planted a 6 acre field first weekend in June with Browntop and Jap millet mixed with 12-15 foot rows of milo throughout for cover and to work the labs in upland later on.

Here is a few pics from yesterday. I went up to spread 34-0-0 at about 125 lbs. acre. Looking to head out within next month and get ready to burn it down and bush hog in mid August.

This is my sunflowers at the house. About 5 acres total. Had some good growing conditions this year and the pre-emerge I put out did a helluva job of keeping the grass/weeds out. Probably my cleanest patch in 12 years of attempting this. Took these a few days ago when the first started heading out. They have filled out a good bit since. I’ll take a few more in a day or 2.

Lots of pew pews coming if a front doesn't get the doves, or a tropical storm or da corona or...

Depending on location and if you can limit the pressure it should be great late in the season...migrating dove are a BLAST...big, fast flying mature birds that will make their September cousins look like Muscovy Ducks flying. If you can leave some of the plantings untouched until later in the season all the more better. I wish I had a place like that.

Planted this browntop on June 6th. Got a rain on it on June 9th. This is a picture from June 23rd. (Above)


This is it beginning to head out on July 4th. That's 25 days after it got rained on. Pretty amazing.

I also planted some on July 4th. So I should have some getting ready about July 25th. And another wave getting ready about August 20th.
