Pigeons

[spottebaum1]

Anyone on here know where I can get some pigeons for training here in Iowa. I can't trap them anymore cause a buddy of mine was fined for that, the dnr told him since there is a season on pigeons he could not trap them.

Sounds like your buddy should hire an attorney and sue the IDNR. Feral Pigeons are considered an invasive species by the FEDS.

There's a lot of difference between Rock Doves that we call feral pigeons and wild band tail pigeons. I'd presue that too.

Shawn, Shawn, Shawn you listening to Dan again?

The Britt sure has grown.

Whoever the friend might be I'd be curious to know the code that they put down as the violation.

Google Iowa pigeon swap. There was one in Waverly yesterday.

Got to net them! I am down to 13. Going to have to head out looking and netting soon!

[Mahamari]

I assume that netting is trapping.

There is a season, but this is below it in the fine print. Now whether it applies to shooting or trapping live, I wouldn't have a clue.
