Dove Club problems

3-4K for 20 acres sounds about right. I plant a 15 acre field at my farm and help plant a couple others. Between seed, fertilizer, and chemicals I usually have around $170-180 per acre. That’s not counting my time or fuel. I don’t know how huntinfanatic does it for close to $60. I’ve never planted millet but it must be cheap to plant is the only thing I can think of.

Millet is cheap and easy but you don’t get near the results in my opinion as sunflowers.

Even a little extra cocklebur and pigweed in the sunflowers

Millet. Even the tweety birds throw it out of the bird feeder to get to the real stuff. If that is all the effort you are going to make, why even bother?

Love the watermelons. One of the best shoots I ever been on was back in the late 1970s down near Batesburg-Leesville on a watermelon field the farmer had turned his hogs out in. I guess it was all those watermelon seeds what drew the doves, it also drew a butt load of bees and flies. But we had a ball shooting little gray birds that day.

We just plant a decent patch of melons every year, for eating.. most at least, then send friends to get some, then the rest are just bush hogged. You can certainly smell them right now.
