Millet in hay field?

(1/2) > >>

Hummingbird Point:
Okay this a dumb question, but I figured someone here could give me a quick, simple answer:  I have a little hunting property in Central Virginia, which is next to a hay field.  While there yesterday I noticed all this stuff growing in the filed that looked kind of like small cattails, so I stopped for a closer look.  Some kind of millet.  Why?  I mean I get it, it's grass and can be cut for hay, but aren't all millets annuals?  In which case why plant it in a hay field?

Eric Krewson:
Future dove field?

Hawkdancer:
Here Birdie, Here Birdie!  Thowoosh, thump!  Generally, baiting, but in crop land it is probably legal.

Hummingbird Point:
The dove field is a good theory.  Where it looks like the millet was heavily planted is on the side of the field bordering the backyards of 3 houses, the field owner and his two adult kids and their families, so it would be a very nice set-up for the family. I'm guessing they would let it go to seed, then cut the field and start shooting? 

I had a friend offer to take me dove hunting once, but I told him I'm such a bad shot, one would have to land on the end of my shotgun and stick his head down the barrel, and even then it would be 50-50.

Hawkdancer:
I've had days like that!  Dove hunting uses up a lot of shot shells!
