Time to Plant Dove Fields, Experts Say

Wildlife managers advise hunters and landowners to begin planting dove fields now. Different plants 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 start.

To increase the chances of success, landowners should consider their planting options, adhere to recommended herbicide applications, and test their soil for lime and fertilizer needs, according to sources.
