The best dove fields are planted with single seeds such as browntop or dove proso millet. You can plant them individually or plant one side of your field with browntop millet and the other with dove proso millet, since they mature at different times, usually 10 days apart. Browntop millet matures in 65 days and dove proso millet in 75 days. Do not use sunflower seeds in a mix with millets because deer just love to eat them when they are small and will tear up your plot and mess up you hunt! Do not use sorghum due to mowing and difference in maturing. Start cutting your field 3 to 4 weeks before your shoot to have plenty coming in. Doves love a fresh cut field of millet.
One of the least known, but best seeds for dove fields is Sesame Seed. Plant the first part of May.
Uses: Wintergrazer is well adapted throughout many parts of the U.S. It is excellent in combination with clover as a nurse crop because of its early maturity and ability to maintain its upright growth. It does not mat down and smother the clover that is getting established underneath it. It can reach a height of 4 to 5 feet tall and is very fast to establish, producing deer feed in as little as 14 days in ideal conditions. Wintergrazer rye grain is preferred by deer compared to ryegrass and it is more cold tolerant. Rye is the most cold tolerant of all the cereal grains.
Best For: Deer, Turkey, Duck, Dove, Pheasant, Rabbit and Quail
