Hey all, 

I have my best luck on a chopped corn field early in the season for my geese, not mush to eat on the ground. Of course they always roost 1/2 mile away and it is the first field of the year out in the area. They birds don't seem to mind. I would just keep an eye on it the birds may find it and still use it don't get discourged yet.

Our county is part of an august management season and no one around here cuts silage you have to go a county over to find it, which is fine in September, which is what I'll probably just have to wait for (haven't seen a lot flying anyway). Trust me, I'd hunt corn any day over wheat. Not discouraged, really, just wanted to get in on some August geese, but the schedule hasn't allowed for much scouting, but just in checking out what I already have permission to hunt has not looked good. My prospects look really good next county over (I'm near the county line).

Keep your eyes to the sky. I've had co-workers tell me when and where they saw geese as well, then tracked them when and where I could.

Old Indian say, "Geese are where you find them!"
I have killed many in a pasture grass field.....

Tom's correct. In the early season look at some of the rotation fields that have waste crop from last year and pasture land, like Tom said. You gotta remember that the family groups have probably been going to the same field they've been roosting close to since there young hatched. After the first couple times the get blasted the will probably have know choice but to go to your wheat. Early season can be a head scratcher for sure.

bet that wheat is still great for doves

You bet it is and for pheasant too!
