All of the posts and pictures got me excited to check the local dove fields. Checked a WMA just west of us and it appears the sunflowers will be ready. We saw a few dove, but did not venture into the fields. The Conservation Dept. will mow down a portion of the field next week. The ragweed is just as good for drawing the birds as the sunflowers. Have your Alegra-D handy...and your extra shells.
