We do, Mike, but they are more for access for the hunters, and to make it easier to mark down birds, than for attracting doves. Doves really like to light on top of the sunflower heads and peck seeds out. Many will alight between the rows as well. The most important thing, IMO, in preparing a sunflower field for doves, or most any field for that matter, is having the ground clean and free of weeds. Even though doves feed on the seed of many species of weeds, they prefer clean ground to light on. They have short little legs and really are much better suited to the air than the ground.
I'll take some photos after I spray the field next week to dessicate everything, and the strips are mowed for the first shoot.
21 days and a wake-up!! I'm worse than a kid waiting on Christmas day.
