Thread: Pigeons how to draw them in and knock them off with a .22?!

How's it going?

Just wondering if anyone here has any good methods 'attracting' and 'hunting' pigeons (and by attracting I don't mean holding that sexy pigeon pose).

I'm using my 10/22, and have so far cleaned off 2 (wow) out of a colony of about 200, but since I don't have a shotgun handy, and prefer to shoot toward the ground, does anyone know what I can use to bait them to come down? They have been a problem for the last few years, and can only get a shot of when I get the chance - they aren't for eating, couldn't think of anything worse... maybe I could.... but;

Methods I have tried so far:

Decoys, they ain't having it, in fact it makes things worse?

Pigeon feed spread out and in small mounds other than that, no idea

Let me know what you think .... especially any of you pigeon whisperers.
