re: Million Dollar Question---What can you get away with getting a dove field ready?

Here is a link to a recent case out of Louisiana where the farmer got busted when agents flew over two weeks before season and got suspicious.
He had spread wheat, allegedly for a crop, but did not cover it, put it out early, and planted too densely, all in conflict with the recommendations of the LSU Extension Service. He argued that how he did it complied with the MS guidelines, but the federal appellate court ruled that you have to follow the extension service rules for your state.

Who are they to tell you how you have to plant your crop? What if I do no till and want to spread before a rain?

How else would they get money to justify their existence?
Somehow buying a ranch and high fencing in native deer is ok but a little cracked corn here and there is oh so bad.
Like most laws half of the wildlife regulations are a total joke.

You can plant it like you said just don’t hunt dove over it.
When I was in High school back in the 80’s my grandfather farmed and was friends with 4 other guys that farmed. They all did millet fields. They all had at least 50-75 acres each. They would cut with a hay cuter and burn it in sections. We would go out a few days before the first split and put a 100-150 lbs of brown top on the clean ground. Had some fabulous dove hunts back then. It wouldn’t be uncommon to have 500-600 birds in a field for a hunt. I was lucky I was the only kid that got to hunt with these old guys.
Those days are long gone sadly.

Here’s the key in those situations, the guys that get busted have no plans of actually harvesting. If you are actually harvesting crops you have a lot more wiggle room. If it’s a crappy food plot and you keep tossing seed you are going to get in trouble.

I didn’t ask him that. He was telling the story because he’s a good friend of mine. He said they found out a person they knew was buying different bird seeds in bulk. They knew where his field was, went to it and saw it was illegal. They didn’t show up the day of the hunt to bust the hunters. They contacted the guy and warned him not to hunt it. Nobody got a ticket. You do what you think you can get away with. Odds are you won’t.
