Hello hunters! Pray you all are well!
So I've got 100 acres in central GA off the Flint River. I've only owned it 2 years so let me tell you the learning curve is steep! It's expensive, hard work and I'm loving every drop. Planted 9 acres of soybeans, buckwheat, millet, milo, sunflowers and IC peas for the summer. Plots turned out AMAZING! 28 days of growth had the plots up to my belt buckle!! Well....
The deer got really interested and went crazy! There was no day or time I could find several deer working the fields over. One day i counted 23 on 4 acres. Long story short they ate EVERYTHING. I've got to kill a lot more deer! All that's left is some 3 feet tall healthy millet! I'm spraying it all now to get ready for the fall and kill some weeds. The young pines and full of dove. The fields always have a couple dozen birds on it. If I cut and disk and show some dirt the dove will really show up and that WAS the plan. I planned on having an awesome shoot. The plot thickens. I've got two bucks over 130 inches and one buck that's a true stud using that field. I'm afraid my dove shoot may blow those big bucks into the next county..... and on to your place! Which is no good! Should we shoot the doves?? Do bucks even care?? Remember I only have a hundred acre and these bucks are bedded 250 yards off the field! Thoughts???
