You probably already know this but it is legal to catch Eurasians for your own use.Anyone out there catch pigeons? I’m going broke buying pigeons for dog training.,.
I found traps made in Wisconsin called Bird B Gone, they appear to work well… Just looking for other ideas…
it used to be easy here to fill a coup with freeway pigeons by setting traps under overpasses.....now the bums living there eat them out of the traps....
Damn squab eaters, who do they think they are rich and famous?it used to be easy here to fill a coup with freeway pigeons by setting traps under overpasses.....now the bums living there eat them out of the traps....
Damn, searching for Eurasian dealers… They don’t put that much effort into poachers…You probably already know this but it is legal to catch Eurasians for your own use.
I throw corn or old wheat until I have some willing birds coming in then catch them in a large live trap.
Then I keep them in a covered dog kennel until I have enough for a good training session.
Don’t try to sell them though….trust me.
Or at least don’t publicly advertise them for sale, THEY will find you.
Luckily for me, no fines issued.
eel, I really enjoy your life experiences…I spent about 8 years working in the warehouse at the sawmill tallying lumber and putting lumber orders together. The warehouse was infested with pigeons. They nested and roosted high in the rafters and made a big mess all over the lumber. I went to the owner and volunteered to shoot them with a pellet gun in my spare time. He said okay but just keep it down low. I hid my gun in the warehouse and every chance I got I'd go on the hunt. One day I shot one just as the owner came around the corner with 4 or 5 dignitaries from out of the Country. I think they were Russian because we milled Russian logs at that time. The pigeon landed right at their feet and was flopping around. I ducked out of sight of course. We had a good laugh about it later.
There was a solid white one that was pretty wily and would take off when it saw me. I named him the Great White. I came in early one day while it was still dark and spot lighted him while he roosted.
I used to hide all the dead ones in units of lumber and shipped them all over the United States.eel, I really enjoy your life experiences…
Damn Russians probably had squab for dinner that night…

I Wonder What PUTIN Would Charge Biden for a 2X6?
Years ago we’d go hang out at night under viaduct with a long pole with a big net. We caught quite a few of them.Anyone out there catch pigeons? I’m going broke buying pigeons for dog training.,.

I shouldn’t laugh at that comment, tardsville isn’t much better…Wonderful place to live huh?
Where has everybody's reading comprehension skills disappeared to??!!And you want to ban the sheds lmfao get a life!
Lucky spot to have!If I knew people would need live pigeons I would have kept my old salmon dipnetting poles when moving back to Idaho from Alaska. Have a lava tube opening (not many know about 2 track is now is hard to find) about 6 miles from the house where I shoot pigeons in the summer opening maybe 3ft diameter and tube is filled with pigeons and other birds scare them out with firecrackers. Rented a 20ft ladder about 20yrs ago and went down there pretty cool old cattle skeletons and other dead animals down there goes back about 100ft with 15ft ceilings pigeon nests everywhere.
Stop playing the victim you woke turd. Just stop!Where has everybody's reading comprehension skills disappeared to??!!
Not once did I say ban shed hunting, or killing Eurasians.
Is everyone else also struggling or just HK and SS now?
Zeke, that sounds like a fantastic time… I believe pigeons are a difficult target at times… They seem to find all the holes in my shotgun pattern… ?A bit off topic but:
I went to South Dakota on a pheasant hunt a few years ago and the pigeons were lousy around the barn at the farm we were staying.
People thought we were nuts to "waste" good ammo on pigeons but we were more than welcome to shoot them.
We'd go get a limit of roosters in the morning and shoot pigeons all afternoon. Its was fabulous amounts fun!

Who says you are going to get in ‘trouble’ for calling me an idiot?I'm going to get in trouble for this but you deserve it
YOU'RE AN IDIOT!
Founder don't like me calling people idiots!Who says you are going to get in ‘trouble’ for calling me an idiot?
You can call me whatever you want, doesn’t bother me.
I was just hoping to keep sharing ideas on how to take pressure off our Deer herds but I think this thread has run it’s course.
Thank you to those who shared ideas and opinions.
It was good while it lasted.
Everyone have a good week.
Good catch he should leave it on the thread huh!I don‘t believe Shane was the one who brought sheds into the conversation. See post 26.

What’s a comprehension?Don't use reading comprehension to show lack of reading comprehension!!
What's that got to do with saving the antelope?What’s a comprehension?
About as much as implementing a ban on shed pigeon horns?What's that got to do with saving the antelope?
If cover was super heavy I would dizzy.Back to the OP.
I got to shoot for a field trialer as a kid for a few years. Lots of pigeons, a few pheasants.
Do you use releases or just dizzy them up?
Think something like a magpie trap would work in areas where there are birds?
Hoss, I have two different dogs I’m working with… one is a retriever so we release and shoot for him.., the other is a Drahtaar and I do the head tuck for him….Back to the OP.
