But....it would still keep other unwanted mouths out, right? I don’t fence mine in either, but your logic makes no sense.

Or maybe he was serious. On our old lease the doves would come in droves 100-200 every feeding they mopped up corn quicker than javalina and a pen does no good.

I don't fence because I bow hunt. Don't like shooting through cattle panels.

Cool pic. Your logic makes perfect sense.

Obviously no dove hunters have replied so far.... I don't waste time and money on feeder fences either.

Recall a post from a few years back when someone seriously asked how in the heck the turkeys are getting in his feeder pen.

We are overrun with turkeys in the fall, so fencing does no good. They are feathered vacuum cleaners, along with every other bird. I understand exactly what the OP is saying!
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.
