One of my buddies had a brilliant idea I hadn't thought of: Check Pennsylvania's maps for what's called a co-op farm. It's not a commune, it's a farm which offers up it's land to the public for hunting.  What the Farmer Gets  If the hunters are decent-folk, they generally clean up the trash off the property. I personally built a blind out of rocks I happened to find in a fallow field to give me something to sit on and a hiding place. The blind is next to a power utility pole, so it gives me a great shot at birds coming in slowly to land on the wires. He got his field cleaned essentially for free since I also picked up trash. I don't want my game animals eating garbage.  The other bonus the farmer enjoys is limited crop losses to wildlife. This particular farmer was doing the soy-corn-fallow crop rotation which is pretty typical Pennsylvania crop rotation. Doves love this stuff and eat it up. Probably about 2/3rds of the doves I cleaned had corn in their crop.  What the Hunters Get  A place to hunt with a ton of acreage devoted to what essentially amounts to bait.
