Justin I got some frozen birds that we can work with if you can't find any but I'll ask around. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Justin, how many do you need?

You could contact Ergon, who could put you in touch with Kearney Park shooting preserve. I know they raise quail on their site, they may pigeons too. Not sure though.

Good luck.

When I was going thru that stage the last time, I got ducks from the "Farmer's market bulletin". You may have to ride a long ways, but they are worth it. I took the ducks and clipped their wings and bound their feet with monofiliment line. We had already done the dead bird retrieve, so I went to the pond with a live bird. It will bless your heart to see that pup learn what it's all about!!

P.S. No, I don't care what PETA says.

You can catch your own pigeons under road bridges at night. I am not sure if this is leagal, but I know you can do it with a dip net and a q-beam or some kind of good light. Just remember where you see them during the day and go back there at night. Around grain train trussels is also a good place.
