    Easiest thing to do is just bush hog it and throw a bunch of cracked corn and wild bird seed out. They will come.

    There’s that thin skin showing through. If you didn’t beg for dove hunt invites like a democrat in a welfare line you wouldn’t catch shit.

    I did think of one thing. A ten acre field is big. I wouldn't go any bigger.

    Leave the rest dirt or let farmer plant whatever he wants?

    I was thinking one acre per hunter roughly.

    I don't know what everyone is saying dove fields don't do great for, in the upstate I've never really hunted a bad field except the public ones. Hell I've got a 3/4 acre food plot with a feeder and they pour 40-50 at a time in the evenings i can only imagine what it would be like if we planted an actual field in one of the pastures.

    We have a 15 acre field with 15 members. Generally only get half turn out per given hunt. It’s hard to cover with only a few hunters. We had 25+ acres last year and it was dang near impossible.

    I was kind of thinking the same based off past experience.

    It looks to be a good spot. I see a pond, ag fields and a branch. I’m sure deer are there which will make flowers tough. 25 acres is a lot to depend on a farmer to do. His stuff will get priority with his time and an unkept field isn’t worth it. So let him plant corn in it and bargain him leave strips of 4-6 rows. Buy you a chipper shredder.

    All of that hard work, time, and money spent means nothing if Mother Nature chooses not to cooperate. It is a risk worth taking though, the way I see it anyway.

    Has been a standard AG field for as long as I can remember. Any ballpark on cost per acre to plant/manage if we were to plant a mix of millet, corn, sunflowers? Would theoretically pay a local farmer to do it.

    Might entertain this route. A friends family that doesn’t really hunt owns the land. Right now a farmer leases to plant various crops.

    That pond is spring fed and the area adjacent to it is an old duck small pond/impound that hasn’t been used in about 20yrs.
