If u are in Ifalls go find some woodcock right now or grouse... Beats the pigeons. Obviously they will be nesting soon so check your state regs first.

I'd second the walks but if you are set on using pigeons you could tie a string to ones leg and put the pup on a cc and have someone control the pigeon while you control the pup. Pigeon pole with a launcher could also work but make sure the pup is on a cc and controlled because that pigeon is going to land again once it is flushed.
