Landowners should start planning their dove fields now, as the planting season is quickly approaching, according to wildlife officials. Different seed varieties preferred by doves take between 60 and 120 days to mature, followed by a few weeks to dry out, making spring an ideal time to begin.
To ensure successful food plots, experts recommend considering planting options carefully, following herbicide application guidelines, and testing soil for lime and fertilizer needs. Proper preparation can improve the chances of attracting doves and supporting local wildlife.
