We shot today. A lot of birds. Big migratory flocks. There are no ducks but at least there are doves.

It was a good morning.
Me, dad, my 14 year old and 13 year old picked up 54.
We got on them good as well. Late season sesame proving to be the ticket.

What all do you guys plant to attract birds in the late season?
My sunflowers are gone. I cut most of the rest of my standing corn and there is plenty on the ground already rotting. No doves. In the adjacent peanut field, I saw a flock of around 30. I can't understand why they are not coming in the corn field. They have ignored sunflowers, wheat and corn this year. I've had good shoots in this same field in previous years.
We have what’s left of our sunflowers (not much), some wheat and some sesame that is just right.

It really is strange. I've considered birds of prey but haven't seen any more than normal hanging around and the doves still roost in the trees beside the dove field. There have been peanuts in the field behind the dove field before too so I don't understand the exclusive preference this year. All that work and money and I didn't get a single decent hunt out of the field all year. I had a few hundred in the field before dove season.
Anyone got any birds left?
“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965
Lots of doves today. It was cold and sporty in that wind.
