For those of you in Northwest Alabama, I am going to do a band trip fundraiser, as our band is going to Chicago to perform in the St Pattys day parade ( I have 3 girls in the band going). To help cover the cost I have fixed a dove field in my hayfield. I planted strips of Brown Top Millet in May, have been spraying, mowing, and burning them over the last 3 weeks. I disk some of the outside bands today and will top sew wheat on them tomorrow working my way in to the center of the field by next Saturday. The field is about 30 acres, and we should be able to fit 15-20 shooters. I will include a BBQ sandwich, chips, and drink for lunch prior to the hunt as well. I will have BBQ ready at noon, and we can start shooting about 2:00. A $100 donation per adult shooter would be appreciated. We will have plenty of water iced down and my girls will be helping with things through out the day.
This is to be a family event, absolutely no alcohol, or rude behavior please!
Right now we have several birds on the field, if the cool weather doesn’t run them off this week.
If you have questions or want to reserve a spot shoot me PM.
The field is west of Hamilton in the Shottsville area.

I can't make it, but I enjoy kids working for a goal. Where can I send a little donation? I know I can't turn down buying a box of Girl Scout Cookies, then I can't turn down these kids.
BowtechDan I appreciate the offer, hate you can’t make it as atleast the BBQ should be good but who knows on the birds lol. They have lots of fundraisers but I am not a fan of over priced popcorn, so wanted them to work a little and learn how to do something in the process.
Lots of birds around, the power line is on the edge of my hayfield, but has a mix of tweety birds and doves depending on what’s going on. The field is large enough that a lot of the birds stay lit on the field right now. Hopefully we will have enough to make it fun at the very least.

Finished burning millet, disking and top sewing lots of birds on the field this afternoon. Will post some pics and video soon looking good if they hold till Saturday. Still a few spots left if anyone is interested.
