I bet that's fun :tup: in grain elevators and what are you catching them for?
I caught these under over passes. Should have had about ten more but they escaped lol. I use them for my two dogs and I have a new pup English setter that is getting her first bird introduction tomorrow. I will film it and post!

Keep the dog in the car, make a drag with a dead one, and hide a dizzied one. Good for the dog and your shooting.
good times

The cages had flap doors that the birds would push open to get to the grain inside. The large cages would be set on top of buildings. You wouldn't have a hard time finding a retailer to give you permission to do this and you could possibly charge them a little.
It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to make a cage for that. The author of that article sold the birds to folks who used the pigeons for training their dogs.

I remember an article in a hunting magazine around 30 years ago which talked about catching them in cages.

I have cages too. They work but they are just not near as fun.

Exactly, I do it with nets because it's a blast and my wife gets a kick out of watching look like a crazy fool. Don, I have homed pigeons before, and it is great. I just had to catch a few for my new setter. Other than that it'll be wild birds here in the Dakotas in August.

You need to get your mind right and just move back! August is real close to archery season and we cant have you missing that again.

Used to spend alot of time explaining to the local PD what we were up to doing this as kids. Cant blame em couple of young idiots under a bridge with a net and a flashlight.
