The Whys and How's of Clip Wing Birds in Bird Dog Training

[@phklearning4377]

Is there a reason you use pigeons instead of something like quail or chukars?

[@WhitewaterGundogs]

we do use quail often but pigeons are much more hardy. Also i trap most of the pigeons i use so the cost is nothing. i love using chukars but at 15 bucks a bird i use them sparingly
