I do, and i believe most people do.
They are cheaper to buy the Quail or Chucker.

I do.........homers are the best because you can use them over and over.  I like Pigeons because I know they will fly good.

I had some delivered but need more. Biginner is in the Tri-Cities so if anyone goes I would help with gas if they would bring some back for me. I trap them here but its been slow this year so far.
