I am wondering what any of you think of this idea. The field is presently planted with barley that is mixed in with weeds. The barley really didn't head out too good due to the lack of rain. It is dried out and since we're only a couple of weeks away from opening of dove season I want to go and flail mow barley and grass, put up a couple of dead limbs and put about 4 dove decoys on each along with a Mojo dove decoy on each, what do you think? We have a river with a small amount of water about 200 yards from this 17 acre field, and there are lots of oak trees where they can roost. The past weekend we observed a lot of birds flying back and forth but not large bunches congregating in the field. My thoughts are there is no large feeding areas within a few miles of us to hold birds there and by cutting what we got and putting out decoys it might attract some birds. What do you think?
