You don't need an 80 acre sunflower field come dove season to have a great time with the family. Any old field will do if you put just a little effort into it. Most hunting clubs have green fields. With a little top sown wheat you could have a nice place to shoot a few doves. You might even be able to work out a deal with them. Rather than try to lease a place it may be that if you till and plant their field, you can hunt it for a week or two. One year I knew the field I usually hunt would not be ready. Next to the house I had some goats in a 3/4 acre pen. I decided to top sow wheat so the goats could have some winter forage. On opening day of dove season, I limited out. Any little spot of ground that you can prepare with top sown wheat in a legal manner and have safe shooting is a dove hunt waiting to happen. Grab a few kids and invite as many people as the field can support. It just doesn't take a large area. What you will need is a cooler full of drinks, a picnic lunch and enough snacks to last you until dark. Be safe and go make some memories.
