    Default Grain Sorghum

    We did not get a dove field planted at our place this year. However, there is a farmer right outside of our gate that planted a lot of grain sorghum. He is willing to let us pay him for a portion of a field and we can manipulate it however we would like.

    Is it worth doing? (The area holds a good many doves)

    What should we do to it and when?
    Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

    He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

    They don't put Championship rings on smooth hands

    Find a millet or sunflower field you can shoot in September. Leave this one alone until November. Then mow strips and disc. Enjoy big flocks of migratory birds in December and January.

    ducks like smartweed.
    doves like milo.
    anecdotal evidence is interesting to me.

    I wouldn't pay a dime for a field of milo for doves.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    The tannic acid levels are too high at maturity for most varieties......making sorgham not preferred by most animals.

    The levels leach out over time which makes it a late season food.

    Science! I like it.
    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    a lot of animals like Milo, and their cute little seed heads make them easy to eat. Row planted milo is pretty, but it's a bitch to shoot birds in when it's standing. I've killed thousands hunting over milo in Mexico.. and I've planted it once here.

    We stopped planting milo but not because it didn't work. It was hard to find the doves in before it was cut and burned. We burned it late December and murdered the doves fairly quick on several cold mornings.

    yep, it's cool and all, until you have dipshits walking around shooting extra birds to replace the ones they can't find.
