Will Beasley Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 If its a good call then it WILL work. One of my french clients uses his own home-made call and believe me it will turn a pigeon a million times better than any electronic gizmo. Hunters have been using calls for hundreds and hundreds of years. You can call foxes, geese, deer, virtually any animal, providing the right call is used at the right time. Like most things there is a technique to using calls however most calls are supplied with instructions that are a bit vague and this often leads to confusion and mis-use of the call with the end result being dissappointment because the call has failed to turn the caller into the Pied Piper of Hameln.

Guest flightline Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I`ve used one when the birds are starting to pair off and it does work-sometimes, like most calls. My brother is the one who gets the results as he calls better than I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tody27 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Pigeon calls are good in spring and summer when the birds are pairing up. Use a lofter in a tree for the best effect, and call when a pigeon is close by. In summer they are great fun to use because the birds are looking for a lone tree to come and roost in- you can be up till 2100hrs shootin um if its a nice warm day! hope it helps, tody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 A friend of mine bought a pigeon call many years ago. We fell about laughing so much, when he tried to use it, that we scared away all the pigeons in Kent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
