In about a week I'll be cutting and burning the field to keep it legal. failed to state it's primarily millet & sun flower
Good shooting R
That's interesting. Your regulations concerning shooting doves over lands where a crop was grown for wildlife management purposes say this:
"Doves and other migratory game birds, except water- fowl, can be hunted on or over lands where grains, salt, or other feed have been distributed or scattered as the result of bona fide agriculture operations or procedures (these include more than just planting and harvesting).
They also can be hunted on or over lands where a crop was grown and manipulated for wildlife management purposes. Crop manipulation, in this case, does not include distributing or scattering grain or feed after it has been removed from or stored on the field where grown."
I'm not by any means trying to be argumentative, 28 gs, but it doesn't sound as if the crop
HAS to be manipulated after being grown to be legal. I understand it is in your benefit to mow, and maybe burn, strips to give the birds a clean place to feed, but it doesn't sound like it is necessary to be legal. Maybe your local game wardens interpret it that way, tho'.
All my best, SRH
