MV-

If you do end up buying pigeons on CL, make sure they aren't the 'fancy' show ones as those don't fly well at all and will tempt your dog to chase. You want homers or wild (scrubs.)

I'm done trapping for the year, it's time to be selfish and focus on time afield with my guy :IBCOOL:

I'll make a post afterthis seasons wrap up and when I get back to trapping as well.
