    Mmmmm.... Pigeons!!!
    Fantastic hunts, with yummy rewards.
    I never found a good place to hunt pigeons in Ontario.
    Definitely a "private property with a barn" type of hunt I guess.

    Yes it is. With todays cleaner farms most pigeons get poisoned before they get to huntable populations. In menonite country they usually get trapped and sold at the farmers market. There are still some feed lot farms esp pig farms that have some hanging around.
    Time in the outdoors is never wasted

    Another problem is that there are a lot of stupid people out there. Pigeons are a menace and farmers hate them, but when you have idiots shooting up barns and silos for a pigeon the problems start. I have heard many stories of guys going into barns and blasting the pigeons out, and you wonder people are hesitant to give permission. On one of my permissions there is nice sizeable population of pigeons. I asked the landowner if they were pets (LOL!). His reply was I like to see them gone! So I asked... and believe me when I tell you the look he gave me. He was not crazy about the idea of shooting near the barns. I explained to him how the hunt would be conducted. He gave me the ok. Ill wait till after turkey season and then i'll let the games begin.
