Why not Sept. 1 - Nov. 31 ?

It's more of a "normal agricultural practice" than planting sunflowers just to bush-hog them...

Other southern states allow hunting over top sewn wheat. Without stepping on toes, I am not going to say who I have been told proposed the top sew ban on doves because it was taking away from "his" doves.
The top sewn wheat was a great way for the less fortunate hunters to hunt doves.

While I agree with being able to shoot doves over bait, this is a hippie bullshit liberal term you need to banish from your vocabulary.

How bout working hunters that are broke.

I prefer the term "people"
And dues to a dove club are a hell of a lot cheaper than putting out 100's of pounds a week for an entire dove season, counting all splits.
If anything this will raise club dues because then all the clubs will be putting wheat out as well.

Turbo, the feds allow manipulation of grain grown in a field. The normal ag practice refers to the planting of the grain. For example, corn is not normally planted on top of the ground. Wheat is drilled or top sewn, normally.
You can hunt over wheat that is top sewn provided it was done in a normal ag manner according to the farm extension service for your state. That school is Clemson.
You must also obey the rate per acre and planting dates also.
Although nothing is normal about bush hogging grain it does not need to be. Normal refers to the planting and growing methods.
Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.

The people at Clemson extension aren't picking up what you're laying down in your last sentence. I had a field a guy grew wheat on then bailed for straw with geese on it. I asked game warden if we could hunt. He said he would contact Clemson and go with whatever they said. We both talked to the same guy at Clemson who said some people do cut wheat and bail for straw but that is "normally" done first of summer late spring when it dries out. Since guy with my field waited until end Aug before do e and goose season this wasn't "normal". Explain that BULLSHIT. All I can add is it better be written plain as day or they will fuck it up. Normal agriculture is horseshit!! Some places fields are cut and swathed as normal and that's manipulated as shit. But since that's how they harvest there you can shoot waterfowl over it much less doves. Where you normally feed grain to cows you can hunt. But you can't pour it out?? Correct me if I'm wrong but explain that one.

Hope you can do something with this. I believe all the surrounding states allow it. Lots of money in state politics against it though.
Attention Whore
What are the biologist thoughts? I hate it when the general public and law makers think they know what is best for our resources. How many times have we bitched because the good ol boys made a law that is best for themselves?
I'm all for it btw, if there is no detriment biologically speaking. And, I doubt there is.

The most baited dove field I have ever been on was a DNR public field in Spartanburg county. Unless there is a new form of sunflower that drops feed wheat.
