Plant in Early Summer For Fall Dove Fields

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.

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.

To hunt coyotes, you just need a general hunting license.
