Look for ponds with a "roost" tree close and set up some "decoys" and get ready !
We have tried to see if small food plots would attract them, but found this couldnt compete with the big farms to really bring in any numbers. So you just need to find some where you can hunt. Look for them on wires on telephone poles, you can get where you can spot them from a pretty good distance... then you know you have some hanging around that area.
We plant sunflowers sometimes before dove season cranks up but another good place to be is a cornfield harvested right at the beginning of dove season.
Big O's approach works best for me. I cut decoys out of masonite and put a little wire hanger on them. I hang them in the roosting tree and set up underneath it. I put about 2 dozen decoys in the tree or if there are several trees, I put a couple dozen in each tree that is in range.
Here is a link to an excellent guide from the University of Georgia.
