dove field demonstration program

The Natural Resource Enterprises Program at Mississippi State University is actively engaged in a statewide dove field demonstration effort supporting landowners and sportspersons interested in this type of wildlife recreation. The 2005 demonstrations, which occurred at Coastal Plains Experiment Station, Tara Wildlife, and Hell Creek Wildlife Management Area, provided specific knowledge about habitat management techniques and emphasized the legal issues surrounding morning dove management. Attendees also become familiar with mourning dove biology and seasonal foraging habits.
