Respectfully, you do not need to contact your game warden to mow a dove field of any kind. Mow it, burn it, disc it, you 1000% percent will be fine. End of story.
Where the “normal agricultural practices” becomes very grey and will vary widely state by state and even between different game wardens is planting a winter wheat field. To some, this is a normal agricultural practice and can be legally hunted; to others, it is straight up baiting for 10 days or until the seed germinates. To still other states/interpreters, it depends entirely on the seeding rate, which must not exceed the rate used for “normal agricultural practices” in that area.
In summation, feel free to MANIPULATE your dove plots (NEVER your duck holes) to your heart’s content. But if you ADD any seed, you better get the
local game warden’s blessing first, or you are potentially asking for trouble and tickets.
