How-To: Trap Your Own Pigeons With a Catapult Net
By Chad Love
Pen-raised gamebirds for dog training aren't free. Pigeons, when you can trap them, are. That is, when you can trap them. With that in mind, this video is pure gundog trainer porn...
From Wired Science:
Spain has a pigeon problem, and some cities are recruiting private pigeon catchers to trap the rats-with-wings using special net catapult devices. The technique involves two people and a catapult-sprung net device. One person feeds the pigeons to make sure that they are gathered neatly into a small space, while the other angles the net catapult. Once the birds are in place, the net is released over the birds to trap them before they can fly away.

WOW! That was AWESOME! I know plenty of places that could use a program like this.
haha wow thats cool and in reality if you can catch that many pigeons at one time you know your city has a problem. On the bright side with one of these nets you wouldn't have to pay for clay pigeons anymore lol...
Looks great!
I've been looking for some pigeons...
Ah smoked pigeon and fried pigeon gizzards yum yum.
Ah ... roasted squab. Still rather have the local Cooper's hawks take care of the problem.
gotta build me one. that is awesome.... been looking to do something similar... been experimenting with a large bore potatoe gun powered by propane... but this seems much safer.
Delicious!
sick, i gotta get one of those.
That's better than throwing a perfect circle with a cast net and pulling in a tub full of mullet. Impressive.
Wow, cool. A coyote ate our whole pen of training pigeons- about 55 total- earlier this summer. So now I'm in the pigeon trapping biz. I wonder how many they lost to the pigeons flailing inside that net?
What are the specs on the catapult/net/trap. I definitely want to purchase or build one.
I usually don't write to blogs but i enjoyed your site
and would like to say that, you have excellent writing skills and
you really know how to make your article more attractive and impressive
get rid of Pigeon
kindly advis efrom where we get or buy the catapult net for pigeon
