Dove Field Harvest Survey

Last updated: 8/31/23 at 12:58 p.m. ET

Biologists with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division have issued the 2023 dove field planting availability covering wildlife management areas and additional dove fields throughout the state. The forecast identifies available crops and anticipates the expected conditions for the upcoming dove season, noting if fields are in good, poor or fair condition. Hunters can utilize this online resource as they plan. Please call the Game Management Section regional office for up-to-date conditions.

Reminder: Below is the condition of the fields, not a reflection of the number of birds that may or may not be there.
