cant say that i have ever attempted to decoy them. how ever if i am crow hunting and i find a field that has a lot of spilled grain, pigeons can be a lot of fun. if you can hit them with consistency waterfowl should be easy.
one thing though... i aint gonna eat them! |

kt,
I was taken to a French restaurant once for an interview and they had pigeon under glass on the menu. I passed on that too. I don't think the glass is going to help them that much.

yeah fabs, in europe it is the delicasy of choice, they call it squab not pigeon, but then again they are raised for food, not for living under bridges and picking seed out of cow manure!

lol
You do know that geese will eat seed out of manure too. After it snowed, we hunted a dairy cow field where the farmers were spreading manure in. We clobbered the geese.

shootin pigeons
We used to shoot lots of pigeons. We baited 'em and decoyed 'em. Bought some paper mache dove decoys and put white paint on . Worked really well. We were shootin a field full of pigeons one day...Had a bunch of tumblers come in. They were right sporting for certain. We actually got paid to shoot pigeons. They were pests around grain elevators and in some towns. Five of us shot more than 100,000 one year. BTW....many of 'em got eaten. They really aren't bad if you eat the young ones

The old ones probably aren't bad either if you are starving.

Don't 'hunt' them here, per se.....prefer to use them for dog training instead (when I can get my hands on some).
Quite popular in the U.K.....I believe the species is "wood pigeon", and they are consumed. I still cant get myself to try one....even though I've held them captive and fed them the best cracked corn money can buy. ![]()
