This is Huntin’ Land, the podcast for landowners and land hunters. If you like to stay up to date on hunting tactics, land management, land values, and land market dynamics, this is the podcast for you. Your hosts, Joe, Butch and Clint talk with Seth Maddox from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and they discuss public and private land dove hunting opportunities in Alabama. Seth talks about the declining dove population and their habitat needs, including how to turn your food plot into a dove field. He recommends planting crops like corn, millet, and winter wheat for dove food and how to optimize your field to hold birds a few weeks before the season. Smaller fields can be hunted less frequently than larger fields. Clear cuts, roadsides, and power lines can attract doves. Seth and the guys go in depth on how to be 100% legal while dove hunting and do’s and don’ts of seed and feed to avoid an unnecessary visit from the game warden!
As a landowner, it is important to know what your land is worth. You may find yourself asking the questions like, “how much is my land worth today,” “how much is my land worth per acre,” “how much is timberland worth,” “what is my farmland worth,” “how much is agricultural land worth,” and other such questions. Many factors go in to determining the value of land and seeking out the wisdom of experts is a great place to find the answers to your questions.
