Unless your last name is Turner or Bezos I doubt that you will (will any of us??) ever be able to afford land that has a sustainable huntable population of game birds. I think the best approach would be to try to find some property that is in close proximity to some ag.or state land that holds birds. My choice would be land abutting private land as trespassing can be a real problem living next to public land. Also, depending on local law, you have to have enough land that you can actually hunt/shoot on the proper and that you won't get 'zoned' out of your hunting as the surrounding land gets built up.

Doesn't take a lot of land to be able to plant a food plot to attract doves. A 5-6 acre field planted with brown top millet will attract doves in numbers enough for a couple or three (maybe more) afternoon shoots.

Also, a positive, "get it done attitude" will get anyone much farther in being invited to hunts than a negative, "I can't do it" attitude. Nobody is attracted to a person with that mindset.

Now this is something I would ge inclined to do. 5 to 6 acres is possible with some effort, and it can be local.
