Feral rock pigeons — and Eurasian collared-doves where they turn up — worked over grain fields, feedlots and stock water. High-volume pass- and decoy-shooting, all year: pigeons are non-migratory and unprotected, so there’s no closed season and no bag limit.

Honest wingshooting practice, and a strong add-on to a crane or waterfowl morning.

Combination Hunts

Combine any two species in one trip — crane at daylight, ducks at midday, hogs after supper.

Any two species can be combined in a single trip. Most repeat parties come for two days and shoot two or three species. Tell us what you want to shoot and we’ll build the trip around it.
