Decoying Pigeons just like Hunting Waterfowl! Our "Bread and Butter" is Hunting Pigeons over Decoys with shotguns. Hunting locations can vary, but are typically found in fields, dairies, feed lots and granary locations. When hunting in dairies or feed lots, group will be set up in the corrals with the cows or just outside of the corrals. Group will be sitting on bucket seats or chairs (which will be provided) when hunting in or outside of the corrals. For fields and granaries group will be using layout blinds (which will be provided) the majority of the time. Keep in mind this is not pass shooting like is found in Argentina, instead the pigeons will be decoying fifteen yards out from group right over the decoy spread. Here in the state of Idaho there are no seasons or limits associated with pigeons. The pigeons start flying shortly after sunrise and will be steady for two to three hours. Group will break around mid day, and head to a designated resting spot to get some lunch, or rest up before they head out to the afternoon hunt location. Pigeons will come back to feed locations early afternoon and will be steady for a few more hours. Our goal, is to harvest/retrieve approximately 100 pigeons per day as a group, sometimes goal can be doubled, tripled or more!
