Our Advice to you on dove fields
The best dove fields are planted with single seeds such as browntop or dove proso millet. You can plant them individually or plant one side of your field with browntop millet and the other with dove proso millet, since they mature at different times, usually 10 days apart. Browntop millet matures in 65 days and dove proso millet in 75 days. Do not use sunflower seeds in a mix with millets because deer just love to eat them when they are small and will tear up your plot and mess up you hunt! Do not use sorghum due to mowing and difference in maturing. Start cutting your field 3 to 4 weeks before your shoot to have plenty coming in. Doves love a fresh cut field of millet.
One of the least known, but best seeds for dove fields is Sesame Seed. Plant the first part of May.
