heading up to ranch this weekend and when I was there over thanksgiving the dove were everywhere! most I have seen in a long time. luckily Friday opens up the second half of the season.

family is going to be there a day before me, so I was wondering if its beneficial to have them spread out a ton of seed/feed in the field, if beneficial at all. some what of a novice dove guy so not sure if that approach would even matter.

sunflower seed maybe?

any advice is welcomed. TIA

Wheat, but you're a little late should've been done a week or two ago.

Not being a dick but you may want to read the laws, baiting is illegal. If there is still seed on the ground Fri and the green jeans show it may cost ya.

Serious answer:

Just go hunt them. Sit on a tree line or power line where you've jumped the most birds. They'll filter in and out all morning or afternoon.

Any kind. Wheat, milo, corn. Just give them a week or two to find it.

Scratch the ground with a disc and (plant) spread the crud out of Milo. When they find Milo they will not leave until its gone. Happy hunting

All good, something you may want to try that I've seen that surprised the shite out of me was the dove mojos. They try to land on them like ducks. Try to find an area that was gravel, water and roost trees and set up.

this could work since there is a bunch of cattle out there, so technically it'd be used for agricultural purposes. the dove would just be a bonus

I don't know the laws in every state, but in AL, you can throw seed out every day for months as long as you go out there and make an attempt to cover it up before you start shooting. It counts as "planting". We just run a disc over it a few times.

I though you could plant Milo, etc, in louisiana and dove hunt on it

As long as you're following "normal agricultural processes" you're fine. In Texas, I've heard of game wardens giving tickets for hunting over bait when you're in the same pasture as a deer feeder with corn in it.
