Different twist on pigeon shooting. Years ago, whn I was involved in Field Trial Springers, we needed lots of pigeon for training - no "flush 'em and fly back to the coop. For spaniels, it's "find 'em, flush 'em and fetch 'em" As a result, a typical training session meant going thru several dozen pigeons. To ensure an adequate supply of sky carp, we would set up an explosively-launched net (think Marlin Perkins) near a grain elevator, then retire to the truck with a supply of adult malted beverages, and wait for the pigeons to come down in front of the net. If we were lucky, we might get a shot, and get the chance to crawl around under a net on a muddy (sh***y) parking lot to get several hundred birds. If we weren't lucky all we got was a hangover.
