We don't really touch corn until late seasons.. and making use of normal agriculture practices help. Birds will come and go this time of year. They can be gone in a day.

Dont have a field but we are seeing a lot of new birds on our property right now. Coming hard to feeders and cut edges.

northern birds (and ducks) are bigger due to fat reserves required for migration. And they're coming from colder climates.
you havent been on a good hunt so you dont get to answer....(but i do see your point)
to me a migratory bird flies 100 miles an hour and is in big groups and leaves once you shoot at it....and, obviously, you dont see any "young of the year" birds.
i've seen november birds that seemed to fat to fly that were local.
and these critters aint ducks and they aint living in the tundra.
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

I think more and more hunt winter every year, I always have. I think the only people that reserve their dove hunting for the first season are people that hunt to say they hunt. They're weak by design, like vegetarians, and really shouldn't be a threat to doves or anything else.
Hunted winter birds all my life. In fact, as a youth we didn't even hunt in September..... In fact, I only recall cold weather, fried dove and grits, and the smell of gunpowder in my youth!

I think it’s the same amount of people hunting all season long in most cases. I take my shotgun to work and a case of shells all season long in case an invite pops up. I don’t know a single person who has disced the field under because they’ve moved on to other things, and I know a shit ton of people with dove fields, it’s kinda my job.

I’ve come to like the cooler weather dove hunting as I’ve aged. We have recently gotten permission to a freshly cut corn field. Sat on it with 6 guns the last day of this last season, and we probably could’ve used 60. Birds were everywhere, just didn’t have enough bodies. Working on that now
