Plant in Early Summer For Fall Dove Fields

To ensure that you'll have doves to hunt during opening day of dove season, preparation of these areas needs to be on your schedule now. Corn is always a popular planting for doves but with so much of it used in ag production today, using something different can be just what the doves want to be on your property. Sunflowers, millets, and sorghum are all excellent plantings for doves and other game birds

Preparing A Dove Field: Sowing The Seeds Of Success

Dove hunting success in the field means preparing the field before the hunt. We all know there are many options for preparing a dove field. Wheat and millets, such as brown top, Japanese, proso, and foxtail, are common choices in this area. But my recommendation for a successful dove field is a sunflower field. At Prairie Wildlife, sunflower fields have resulted in better hunts than millet-planted fields. On our “opening hunt” in September, bird limits

Plenty of Places to Hunt Predators

When I include the public game lands and the private farms where I have permission to predator hunt, I probably have between 100,000 and 150,000 acres where I can hunt predators. On public lands, hunters can take coyotes 365 days per year in Pennsylvania. We can’t use thermal or night vision here for predator hunting, but we can use hand-held and/or portable lights at night. To hunt coyotes, you just need a general hunting license.

A Record Year for Predator Hunting and a Raccoon Recipe

Two years ago, in 2016, my hunting partners and I had our best year of predator hunting and took 15 coyotes, 25-30 gray foxes, five red foxes, 18 bobcats and at least two to three dozen possums and the same number of raccoons.
