Dove Plot - Soon to be Food Plot

[Kdog]

I have tried that. The problem I have is everything eats wheat heads. My wheat is mature and dry first week of June. Everything eats wheat heads here, but deer are the worst - even awned - they dont care. Coons eat it, skunks eat it, all kinds of birds eat it, hogs eat it if you have them. I never have any seed left past mid july. If you do it, spray it with gly as soon as it matures to keep it clean and doves will definitely feed in it. Dont know how to keep everything else out of it

Thinking back, the best dove shoot we ever had was in a first year cutover where we planted wheat, rye and oats on all of the logging roads and two plots in a +/- 30 acre area. May have planted a total of 3 acres and we didn't do anything after the fall planting except drive the atv down the roads and through the plot to knock some seeds down a week before the season opened.

we just dont have doves in my area like we used to. 15 yrs ago we wondered how quick we would kill a limit in the morning. Quite a few under 15 min. Then it got where we wondered if everyone would kill a limit. Then it got where we just hoped we had a decent shoot - six or eight birds apiece. Last two years we wonder if we are going to see a limit. Saw three last year first day.
