Preparing a Legal Dove Field in Georgia
I
The key to huntin~ doves legally in Georgia is ur~derstanding the. differences between "baiting" and "normal agri9ultural operation". Hunting doves over bait is illegal in Georgia.
Baiting is the practice of placing, exposing, depositing, 0r scattering salt, corn, wheat, or any other seed that may lure or attract doves to or over any a,rea where hunters are
A attempting to hunt them. person is guilty of hunting over bait if they know, or reasonably should
know, that an area was baited. Furthermore,the person who places or directs the placement of ,. bait on or near ~he hunted 1area i.s guilty of baiting.
"Normal agricultural operations" is one conducted in accordance with official recommendations of the University of Georgia (UGA) Cooperative Extension Service Extension Agronomists, NOT the county sxtension agent. For example, aerial seeding and top sowing of small grains (wheat, rye, oats, and barley) without covering the s~ed is not a recommended normal agricultural practice by the UGA Cooperative Extension Service and therefore illegal to hunt doves over.. Also normal plantings do not involve placement of grain in piles or other concentrations. It is legal to hunt doves over crops that have been mowed, disced, raked, or burned
Small grains planted within the range of dates below and at application rates between 1.5 and 2.5 bushels per acre are recommended practices of the UGA Cooperative Extensi9n Service.

On The Cover: Prior to European settlement, wild turkeys were abundant throughout Georgia.
However, habitat loss and market hunting depleted wild turkey populations. In 1973, Georgia's wild turkey population was estimated at 17,000 birds. As a result of protection, relocation and habitat management Georgia's turkey population has grown to over 300,000. The National Wild Turkey Federation (NWfF) is a nonprofit conservation and education organization dedicated to conserving wild turkeys and preserving hunting traditions. In Georgia, the NWTF has over 15,000 members and has donated over $1 .6 million to fund wild turkey restoration and management projects. Support your local NWfF Chapter, call 1-800-THE-

Signing of HB 301 by Gov. Roy Barnes. Also pictured are Rep. Greg Morris and family and members of the Conservation Congress
Thanks to efforts by conservation groups, the Georgia State Senate affirmed the importance of the state's hunting and fishing heritage with the passage of House Bill 301.

This legislation recognizes the importance of hunting and fishing to Georgia's economy and to wildlife conservation and elevates hunting and fishing from a "privilege" to a "right" under Georgia law and provides for no net loss of hunting and fishing opportunities on stateowned land.

The Hunters for the Hungry {HFTH) program has helped feed thousands of hungry Georgians over the past eight years. Hunters donate harvested deer during two weekends in November The deer are processed into ground venison and then distributed by the Atlanta Community Food Bank and other food banks across Geo:gia.
Hunters wllo drop off a fie ld-dressed deer at a designated collection site between 9 a .m. and 8 p.rn. during the collection weekends will receive a I-shirt or cap.
WHEN: November 10-11, 2001 & November 24-25, 2001

Wildlife Resources Division

Many game and non-game wildlife species heed forest openirigs to satisfy at least a portion of their year long habitat requirements. In addition, openings
can be managed to concentrate wildlife for hunting and/or observation. A general rule of thumb is to have at least 5% of a forested area iri open habitat.
However, high quality openings comprising as little as 1% still can be beneficial. For most wildlife species, especially qeer and turkeys, openings.should
be 1/2 to 5 acres in size. Listed below are some common plantings that have been tried and prove_n across Georgia. For optimum results, long range wildlife
management plans should be developed to integrate habitat and population management practices. For technical assistance contact your nearest WRD Game Management Section Office at the phone numbers listed in the front of this brochure.
