Doves often feed in agricultural fields after crops are harvested.
Harvested fields of corn, sorghum, soybeans, millet, sunflowers, peanuts, melons and cucumbers are attractive to doves. Be alert to such opportunities so you can organize dove hunts on short notice. If possible, plan harvests about two weeks before the date of desired hunting. If plants are left standing after the harvest or if the ground is heavily covered with vegetation, mow with a rotary mower to remove cover and expose seeds.
