I need pigeons. Live preferably. Looking for some young buck to go around and catch me 10-20 from silos, over pass, RR trussell. I'll even pay alittle for the effort.:D

What do you do? Distract them with the sack and clunk them on the head with the flashlight? lol

Sounds like a snipe hunt to me.

I used to have a school principal who trapped pigeons then banded them. He used the humane traps like havahart.

If you take dead ones I know a guy.......

They will likely have lead #7 1/2 in them.....

I used to catch em at night in abandon houses w/ a light and fishing net. Back in PA there was the Hegins pigeon shoot... it was a big deal until it got banned in the 90's. (Dern PETA's...)
