Got about 4 acres planted in grain sorghum today in preparation for the upcoming dove season. I will post more photos as the fields progress as well as some dove shoot photos. If you plant dove fields please share!
  ETA: hopefully the pictures work now. |

I've always run out of time to get a field going the past few years. I am available, however, to help keep them flying labor day weekend.

One thing is for sure, if you have a good field there is never a shortage of volunteers to shoot.

Sorghum doesn’t ripen around here until Thanksgiving. Most plant it for the second season.
Sunflowers for the first. Only, the deer like my sunflowers when they’re young and tender. |

I did my first field last year and used millet, the drought we had didn’t do it any favors, my neighbor planted sorghum and it looked great through the drought and every dove I shot at my place was full of sorghum so I decided to go that route this year. I really didn’t want or have time for all the extra work for sunflowers. |

I really didn’t want or have time for all the extra work for sunflowers. Ive done well over millet. Can’t recall a sorghum field. The second half of the season, for some reason, I did well over a picked cotton field on a wet Thanksgiving weekend. Nice looking field you got there. |

Doing brown top millet again this year. There's oats and wheat on the field now from the food plots over deer and turkey seasons. Millet is going in this week probably so it will be dropping seed somewhere around the last week or 10 days of August.

 Coming along nicely, about 45 days in. Had some top dress fertilizer applied a week ago and have gotten decent rain since. I’m much more hopeful for my field this year than I was last year. |

About 60 days from planting, it is really doing well. Should be fully mature 2-3 weeks prior to season.

Dove has always been my favorite hunt. Putting in some rows of sunflower is like a siren's call to them.
