"But officer Mitchell the guys on HBC said It would be a great idea to bait and net pigions"

"I just want my dog to chew them up for a bit till I can give him a cookie for being good.... THEN I was going to release them! Honest"

I go there a couple times a year to hunt the birds. You pay a price but it is worth it.The miniumum is 3 pheasants or 6 chuckers a gun. We usually get 12 to 15 chuckers let loose. They are really fast. Took my golden with me last year that had no training and by the end of the day she was a star. It is a club that you join. I'm not a member but go with a friend of mine and always end the day with a big smile. It usually ends with hunter 9 and escapies 6. Once we got 14 out of 15. Pheasants usually hunter 7 escapies 2. All and all it is always a good day.

Hi Loc, this is what i used to do when i worked at the feed mill, Look up into the rafters when its light out, Find out where they are roosting. Come back when it is dark, And you can almost pick them like they were apples. It has to be dark though, So if you know anyone with a farm or works at a feed mill, there is your start, they don't want the birds there either. And know one cares if you take them, The best part is they will be alive.

That's how we did it, when I was 12.

As I say I'm not a member. But I believe my friend pays $400-$450 for the year. This gives you 18 pheasants to let go or 36 chuckers. You must put out a minimum of 3 birds a gun. Or 6 chuckers. You can always buy more. We usuaualy tell her to have the birds out by 10 am. Get there 20 minutes before hand, have a coffee get the dogs ready....... then look out. The first hour is non stop action. Around 11:30 we go back to the truck and drop the birds off, have lunch and plan the..... ok. we haven't seen 3 birds and 2 flew over by the creek. We then spend the next 2-3 hours and usually pick up 2 or 3 more birds. If you knew of another hunter that wanted to be a member and the 2 of you went you could go 6 times a year and have a blast. That's only $70 for a day of action packed hunting. And if you have a young fellow with you THEY always remind you. Ok, Dad thats 4 birds for us and 5 for the birds. The eagles are going to eat good tonight. 20 gauge with #6 shot. Springers and now a 1 year old golden is the weapons we use. I could go on for hours here but should stop.
Thatskindafunny when they get away. If you get pissed off might as well not go.

I could get into that... Any LM farms that do this? Sounds that It could be the next best thing to an actual hunt.

A canned hunt for domestic birds... Who knew! It could make for an excellent learning experience.
