How to Turn Your Food Plot into a Dove Field with Seth Maddox

Huntin' Land Podcast

Your hosts, Joe, Butch and Clint talk with Seth Maddox from the Alabama Department of Conservation and natural Resources and they discuss public and private land dove hunting opportunities in Alabama. Seth talks about the declining dove population and their habitat needs, including open ground for feeding and scrubby cover along field edges for nesting. He recommends planting crops like corn, millet, and winter wheat for dove food and how to optimize your field to hold birds a few weeks before the season. Smaller fields can be hunted less frequently than larger fields. Clear cuts, roadsides, and power lines can attract doves. Seth and the guys go in depth on how to be 100% legal while dove hunting and do's and don'ts of seed and feed to avoid an unnecessary visit from the Game Warden! Morning hunts can be productive too. Scouting is important to find feeding and roosting areas with features like dead trees. Larger food plots allow more frequent hunting.
