Those look like they will work well. Unfortunately where I am at, we are in a drought. Sometimes I take a long a hammer and some welding rods bent in half and get them in the ground that way. By the way it is raining here in Young County right now so maybe the ground will soften up and some of the ponds will catch some rain.

I use the little "wickets" used to pin down landscape cloth. Clip the dove to it, shove in the ground. A combination of about 20-30 "feeders" and two or three motor-mojos work great.

Welding rods are a really good idea.

Mojos and Dove deocys work, but be very careful setting them up after sunrise if you wear sunflower camo.  I wanted to put out my fake sock tank last year.  But could not find room for it between all the mojo decoys in the field

Dove decoys really??? Talk about OCD, maybe a mojo or two. Ya'll using calls too?
All these dove threads are pretty funny though.
It will be funny to see all the mojos, dove trees, and decoys people set up opening morning and walk around shooting dove wearing there white and blaze orange tshirts.
The dove opener is always tons of fun to watch, looking forward to it. People watching at it's best. This. The 2 worst things that have happened to dove hunting: decoys and allowing hunting before noon. Dove hunting is about minimal work. Drink beer, shoot, watch your dog get birds. Those simple facets of dove hunting are what make it special. It's like people are going out of their way to make dove hunting difficult. If you want that, go duck hunting, lol. Note: I like duck hunting too, it's just a lot of work. You're right. Decoys are stupid. A group of guys drinking beer all day with loaded shotguns is a much better idea.

You can still get 2 good stakes out of what's left. I never thought to use them for decoys, but I cut the broken hangers up for drying racks. My wife throws a few on the workbench almost every month.
