    Default Dove Club Inquiry/Membership

    I am looking to join a club within 45 minutes of Lexington. Looking to mainly join to bring my 12yo to shoot. We lost our field due to a housing development complaining and he was just getting into the swing of things. Let me know if you know of any openings or opportunities to join somewhere. Thanks in advance.

    Damn I pay $100 bucks for my stand for the season and usually throw $100 more in for planting.

    I pay $700 for a membership and I can take a guest. Essentially, I am paying for two memberships but not quite because of the way we draw stands. If I take a guest, I draw for a stand and my guest sits near me. If I decided to split my membership with someone, only one of us would draw and we would still sit near each other. I'm not in love with the way we do it because occasionally it feels a bit cramped. Even so, we have a waiting list and someone has to die for a slot to open up.

    Love to find one myself to take my little girls to. Used to be everywhere. Seemed like as a kid everyone had a field.

    I'm on my third year of planting dove fields and have come to realize the high prices are well justified. It's a lot of work and money in fertilizer, herbicides and seed. That doesn't count the taxes on the land, buying equipment, diesel, equipment maintenance and man hours.

    Me and my partner did it for 10 years and we had the birds. He had the equipment and it is real time consuming and costly but we were in the cattle biz so we had to grow hay of some sorts, millet etc.

    Yes it is a lot of work and expensive (if you do it right), so I am happy to pay someone to dove hunt.

    No. That's another field I hunt about 10 miles up the road. Still doing the same as always, although only had two hunts last year (because it sucked so bad).

    There's some dove fields around Darlington, right off I-20. It's a good area for doves.

    So true. I've been planting a field for the last 9 years. I plant roundup ready corn, Clearfield sunflowers, sorghum and brown top millet. I plant in strips and leave smooth plowed dirt in between. As soon as the corn matures I set my mulcher in the back of my truck and grind/blow corn on these open strips. Also 10-1 I cover these strips with top sown wheat. Its a lot of work and expense even though its on my land. I charge $275 per season(all 3) and usually don't break even.. The only "members are family and a couple of very close friends. But I enjoy doing it and the socialization that goes with it. Opening day we have a big dinner under my carport before drawing stands and going to the field. Which borders my front yard.
