Part of this is because of the weather this year and part because we are becoming more populated. The summer drought burned up much of the crops, especially corn, so there’s not as many good crop fields to hunt over this year. Another problem is we just don’t have as many active farmers in Houston County as in the past. Some people have just quit farming, changed occupations or sold off their land for housing subdivisions. Still, if you look enough, you can find a few places to hunt. Pay shoots are much more common but I don’t care to pay S3O-50 for the opportunity to dove hunt. 1 will go to some of the Wildlife Management Areas to dove hunt, but they can become crowded.
