If not try to decoy some onto the field where you can shoot. Pigeons are always partial to clover as a nutritious change from other food.

Lg1 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Id also become familiar with the closet barley/wheat fields around that area, if they blow over or get harvested there's a very good chance the birds will turn there attention to that table. Sounds like there's sone good opertuinys in that area so just keep your eyes peeled.. Good luck 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
