late season fields

[ndbrown213]

How late can I plant brown top millet for the late dove season?

[quack head 11]

Brown Top takes 60, providing it rains pretty soon after planting, so just figure it up

[ndbrown213]

will the frost hurt the brown top?

[quack head 11]

yeah it will kill it but if you already have seed heads on it you will be ok

[quack head 11]

Best fields out there are ones that have heads and have dies and dried out. Those seed heads get hard once the moisture is gone, and hammer that is when it is on.

I am going to plant some more if not this week the next and hope it rains.

After the first couple of weeks the heat comes off the dove fields and the "man's" attention is turned to deer, ducks etc.

Disc you a feed strip and bait the shit out of it with wheat and black oil sunflowers. You'll be fine.

I hear this works.

[ndbrown213]

good idea, except the landowner would beat my ass.

There IS a way to bait for doves and be perfectly legal.....according to the books.

Everyone will know your intent BUT you will be legal. Small fee will get you more dooves than you have ever shot at.

[Glenn]

Don't want that.

I'd say plant it then.
