pigeon hunting what gives?
Use to be if you wanted to shoot pigeons all you had to do was sit behind the barn and pop 'em as they fly around. If you wanted a sure thing some decoys and spinning wings would have them hoover over them all day. Finally got timing right to try a bit of pigeon hunting friday morning. Got to the farm chucked out some decoys 2 baby mojos and a dove decoy for good measure dumped some grain around and settled in for some good times. The first came in as usual and got dropped . Shortly a few came by and I whiffed after that everything disappeared. Some flocks that flew over where sky high and not the normal flocks that buzz the cut corn. What gives?

Has too much time on their hands
Try baiting with McDonalds fries

Mcdonald's fries are way to expensive a commodity now to waste. And my girls would never let them go to waste, I sadly tend to have to give mine away to them. Maybe try some day old timbits

Based on my less than successful efforts so far at trapping pigeons, I’m convinced that country pigeons are smarter, or perhaps less desperate, than city pigeons.

I sit in the barn with a pcp air rifle. I usually manage to pop six or seven then they fly the roost. If I stay in the barn for another hour I'll usually pop another 4 or 5 when the stragglers come back to the barn. They are fantastic eating. I breast them, pound the breast out with a meat mallet, then egg wash and bread them (Italian breadcrumbs) and pan fry them for pigeon parmesan. Two breasts on a bed of fettucine is a lovely meal. A lot of hunters don't realize what they're missing! I'd take pigeon over Mourning Dove. My black pig-dog likes the leg hams!
