Pigeon Hunting....
 

I have hunting pigeons over decoys for years... just a tad over twenty years... but yesterday I was fortunate to hunt over some decoys that I stumbled apon.... I know alot of guys shoot pigeons, but how many of you decoy them... That is were the game is at... No limits, No Rules, just alot of trigger time...

Shot 53 birds in 45 minutes over the decoys in the morning in a cut winter wheat feild... Talk about fun... It makes duck hunting look boring...

has anyone else ever done this, and have you guys heard of "Soar No More" decoys...

Mike

Pictures? What do you shoot em with?

nver heard of hunting them over decoys. i have shot them flying into a field and thats about it. sounds like fun if you have that setup.

Pigeon hunting over decoys... Picts
 

I'm telling you... I have hunted them over decoys for years.. all homemade... these are the ticket.. Where else can you shoot almost 100 birds, with for $15.00 worth of shells... train the dog until he is completely wore out... and dont have to clean a one of them... with a pretty good chance of shooting bands....

Thats what Im talking about...

Mike

that does look like a lot of fun. how many bands have you got? must be a lot of pigeons in your area. i see a few groups flying around where i live.

ilyote... There are good heathy flocks everywhere..
 

You just have to do some legwork just like goose hunting.... and those bands we speak of... funny you should ask.. I killed 39 birds this afternoon in about a hour shoot... and killed a bird with a band that had a guys name on it, and $30 reward... I bet he needed the bird alive though...

yeah im sure he doesnt want his homing pigeon back not breathing lol

That sounds and looks like alot of fun :s4:

? do you eat them or what.

Mike,

Do you use sounds? I have pigeon sound on my Fury. I like those decoys. Where did u get them?

Mike,

Never mind. I just went to the site and ordered decoys and the video!

BHW

Andrew... where did you get the sound...
 

give me a shout..

Mike

Maybe taken this to serious....
 

25 degrees, 30-40mph wind... but it was all worth it... My compadre shot another band... he is like a band magnet... His first Pigeon ever... a Peach colored red bar... Double banded.... Lucky...

We stuck it out.. though... killed 57 in about 3.5 hours.. the wind made it real hard...

I cant get enough...
 

finished church, got a quick bite to eat... With the time change we knew that the birds would be feeding early so we had to bust tail to get out there...

2 hours, 72 birds, and another band... real old bird this time, banded in 92, well at least that is what the band said... I know they get old but that old... Does anyone know.. thats like 17 years... am I right..

Looks like fun but I think its location, location, location for success.

Dave, Your right
 

For sure, location is key... But anywhere I have ever resided I was able to to find good huntable flocks. Any half way decent town has a inner city population that has to come to the feilds to feed. Along with any good feedlots, Dairys, etc. You are bound to find them. I have hunted 30 bird flocks with decoys, to 10,000 bird flocks coming out of the big cities in waves..

Just have to do the leg work, the nice thing, there isnt many people doing it.....YET....

Guys spend Big "$" to travel out of country to do what we have in our back yard...
