Thanks for the replies. I have one remote launcher, but have been trying to put out three or four birds total. I will try a few of the methods listed and see if they work. If not, I'll stick with the launcher.

I have been catching quite a few pigeons lately at a farm nearby. I just started trying to use them this weekend and am having problems. How do you get the pigeons to stay on the ground? I am tucking the birds head under the wing and spinning it about 25 times before I put it down. It seems like it ...

There is a guy north of you in Conrad named Scott that manages the grain elevator up there. He can get you as many pigeons as you want, as long as you are looking for wild pigeons and not homers. Otherwise, I would check at the elevators around Bozeman.

Has anyone ever made a homemade pigeon trap? I would like to start trapping some pigeons and don't really want to spend $60, so was wondering if anyone has gotten crafty and come up with a way to make your own. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

What is the best way to prevent this from happening again? Tuf-Foot or booties? 2). If you are hunting day after day, is...

I live in a neighborhood where the homes are very close to eachother. I have no back yard, but have a side yard that is about 15' x 55' which is where I am thinging about putting a pigoen loft. I have a great field to train in across the street and would love to have some homers. Only thing is I'm a...

What do you think the best side X side is for $1000 - $1500? I'm thinking about getting one and would like your opinions.
