Why I dont fence in my feeder

It would not keep the doves out.

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

I am pretty sure he was joking. Lighten up everyone.

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 thought my pic told the same story as redchey without having to write it down -----------

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

Nice feeder.

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!

I have had good LUCK....with a owl decoy .........when they get used to it ......move it around.........turkeys hate them.......

Fear may be a better word. Great horned owls do a number on gobbles every spring while they’re on the roost.
