I thought about spraying but when I went and looked at my fields all summer I figured what was in the fields would work just as well. I do want to control some of the weeds because they did get too thick in some areas and choke the clover down. I also thought the grown up fields would help my fawn and poult survival, possibly even the quail that I see from time to time.
Mowing would probably thin the broadleafs some. I think you probably need to mow it really tall though......something in the knee to waist high range. If you mow broadleafs really low during summer then you'll terminate a lot of them and your field will swing to being more grass dominated.
