    How do you go about hunting pigeons, are you setting up decoys near a roost, do you call them in some way?

    Pigeons are coming to the Deer Farm during Winter when the Deer are fed Grain, decoys and lay down blinds.

    Drab clothing is best, while kneeling to dull the face with cupped hands emit a “Coo” “Coo” into the morning air.

    It helps to move an elbow, or both occasionally

    Interesting sound related factoid time.

    A human calling ducks will echo, but not when calling pigeons.

    That is because a coo sticks.

    Years ago we used skrunched up sheets of newspaper as decoys, then as we shot pigeons we placed them, propped on clods
