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

    Clemson does not consider it to be normal ag practice until Oct 1.

    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.

    Hope you can do something with this. I believe all the surrounding states allow it. Lots of money in state politics against it though.

    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.

    I think this is one of those generation gap things.. I mean stop the top sowing, and a some years later you bump up the limit. It's a bird, that really isn't that smart, millions upon millions upon millions of them, heck what is it a third that dies on the first season, and then make a law that a normal person cannot prep for them.

    I bet the boogers that voted no never shot an old clearcut with pokeberries and inch apart wheat.

    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.
    It's not enough to simply tolerate the 2nd Amendment as an antiquated inconvenience. Caring for the 2nd Amendment means fighting to restore long lost rights.

    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.
