pigeon master Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hello guys, just asking if anyone uses a small pistol to finish off pigeons when they have not been killed on impact. I hate killing them, so I would much prefer to put a pellet in the top of their head. If anyone uses one please let me know what you use, I was thinking about one of those gas operated pistols but I'm just not sure so any info would be great. I have rung some of their necks but it can get a bit messy sometimes. The PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon master Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hello Dazza, I think that could be the thing to use, By the way Dazza your net has been sent to you so you should have it soon mate. I hope it OK for you, its the same as I use and the pigeons never spot me unless I'm stood outside having a pee, sod's law every time I do 4 pigeons fly over your hide. I think I will give the priest a go, I hope he does'nt mind... The PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 put your thumb on top of the pigeon's head and your index underneath and flick the weight of the pigeon should break its neck atleast thats how i do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 the best way i`ve found is dispatching pliers.basically round nose pliers but beefed up a bit place it on the neck near the head and close hard,the only thing i had difficulty with was a greylag gander.

Teal Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I have recently found the best way to despatch pigeons (imo). I have seen people doing it with pheasants and the like and it's a mess, but with pigeons because their necks are weak hold the head in your hand and spin the body around once, I was very impressed, it is instant and effective.

pigeon master Posted August 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hi Teal, i tried that but all the heads come flying off and blood ends up all over so its not the best method for me but I'm maybe trying a bit hard. PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I agree with Teal . I hold the head of the bird and spin it, once seems to to the trick. Just takes a bit of practice or you end up with Woody, parts one and two ? (Its called the Sutty death spin, in fact the wife uses it on me all the time.)

the last engineer Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 have to agree with P.M. they have a habit off coming free and spraying everything i'll stick with the snap of the neck tech its worked for me well enough, of course all the top dogs dont have that prob ,they shoot em cold in the sky . martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 You could shoot them with your shotgun when they are in the air, I know, its a radical idea but one I find works fairly well. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
