 Ryan Egan.... I grew up in Southeast Iowa chasing Monster Bucks, Thunder Chickens, and waterfowl.  I have done it all.  One thing I fell in love with, during the last 15 years, is decoying pigeons.  I wouldn't give it up for a better day of goose hunting.  You may think I am crazy, but if you haven't tried it, you don't know what you are missing.  I'm talking, bunches of five, to a hundred and five, at ten yds, in your face.  Plus banded birds....   If I'm not hunting, I'm scouting.  I do it all for the thrill.  Finding that one field full of pigeons, there is nothing better. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Todd LaRue... Grew up in Central lower Michigan hunting almost every thing u can hunt. Waterfowl was my real passion for sure. Decoying birds and the fact they banded birds is what kept me interested. Few yrs back had some buddies ask me to go on a pigeon hunt, i thought it was kinda weird but i went, boy was i glad i did. Shooting them around the farm is one thing but seeing them decoy was unreal. Now when i go scouting for geese or ducks i find myself looking for pigeons. No Season, No Limit.......cant beat that!

 

 

 

 

 Cody Schware... I Grew up in a small town in central Pennsylvania near Hershey where I work as an auto body tech.  I enjoy all types of hunting and fishing but my passion is wingshooting. If I'm not in a field hunting I'm scouting.  Never did I think I'd be in a field waiting for the first flock of pigeons to arrive and after many years of the addicting sport, I cant get away from it.

 

 

 

 

Brian Klein...  I spend all my free-time in the wonderful world of the outdoors.  My passion for hunting and fishing began early in life.  I learned the ways of an outdoorsman from my father and uncles.  I grew up around English Setters and lived for those Sunday evenings when my Dad would return home from some form of hunting excursion; I longed for the days when I could join. I currently spend as much time in the woods and on the water as I possibly can.  I hunt and fish all over this great nation.  I am an avid Upland and Waterfowl hunter and also run a part time guide service for Canada Geese, Snow geese or Upland birds.  I have been an avid pigeon hunter for approximately 15 years. I love the ability to hunt pigeons year round.  I do some pigeon hunting in fall but the majority of my pigeon hunts are done in spring, summer, and winter.  I particularly love decoying those birds! 

 

 

 Eddie Wise... Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd say "I am a Pigeon hunter". But let me tell you that it takes only one hunt! I live in central PA where goose hunting is at its all time high right now. With 14 years of waterfowl hunting experience behind me, figuring out how to Pigeon hunt didn't take much time. Scout, get permission, set the decoys up and "Let it Rain"!  After the first hunt, it was all over for me, decoys were on order, Mojo's were being bought, and just one more thing for my wife to complain about that I spend too much money on! My father has taught me so much about hunting, and we have spend countless hours in the field together, but on his first Pigeon hunt I never saw him have so much fun in his life. This is what its all about, having fun, making new friends and just enjoying wingshooting at its finest. Being involved in the outdoor industry in a few different ways,  joining this staff of guys was just one more thing I could take pride in and make a difference. As a hunter, we should all try to get kids involved in the outdoors and this is one sport that can be very fast pace and entertaining for them. Get out, find birds and "Make it Rain"!

 

  Kade Pursers...  My parents bought Me a BB gun when I was eight years, if they only would of known what that would create they probally wouldn't of done it. Starting with pop cans I started moving up in the ranks from chasing geese, to mule deer, to fishing for Tiger Muskies, I then started going after pigeons, from catching them to shooting them. I then realized how addicting it was.   

 

 

 

 

 

  Steven Hunt ... I grew up in Hooper Utah. Where theirs really nothing much to do but hunt. I'm an avid bird hunter.I hunt everything from waterfowl to upland to pigeons I love to hunt them all. I started hunting pigeon for something to do in the off season of hunting waterfowl and to help the framer with the local pigeons around the barns. But learn to enjoy it very much. With no limit, no rule, and no season why not hunt them. One hunt over the soarnomore decoy and you will be hook for life.

 

 

 

 

  Dylan Davis... I live in Boise, Idaho where I have spent the majority of my life. . I grew up hunting and fishing. Most of my earliest memories are of mydad and I in a duck blind. My dad taught me at a very young age to love the outdoors and to pay attention to the wild life. He taught me very young the passion for decoying waterfowl. Recently, I have picked up a new sport…decoying pigeons. You think you like watching a group of 5 greenheads lock up on your decoys, try layin under a group of 50 pigeons locked onto your decoys. Pigeon hunting is a blast! NO LIMITS!! If you want "in your face" decoying, then pigeon hunting is where it’s at. I tried decoying ‘em using dove decoys but to my surprise they are smarter than they look. I found Soar No More and I’ve been stackin ‘em up ever since. Soar No More decoys bring ‘em in every time. If you can’t load fast you best stay clear from SNM decoys! Start ‘em young, take a kid hunting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nick Keller...I'm an avid wingshooter from central MN. I've been hunting ducks and geese for the last 15 years religiously. Out of season, I was always out shooting trap. I found a few years back that hunting pigeons in the off season is an awesome way to keep my shooting up to par, and keep my pooch in tune. If you haven't hunted pigeons, you might think we're all crazy... Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marshall Hintze...I grew up in southeastern Minnesota going with my father on deer, pheasant, and waterfowl hunts. Whenever dad would stop and talk to farmers I always remember taking my red ryder to thin down the sparrow, starling and pigeon populations. As time went by, not much changed except now I was carrying a shotgun. My first bird I ever hit in flight was a pigeon and since then I always find myself scanning silos, barns and fields for these aerial acrobats. Wingshooting has always been my prefered hunting choice of hunting. It consumes my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. My falls are usually spent chasing waterfowl, but spring, summer and winter its all about pigeon hunting. Now there are many ways to shoot pigeons but decoying is by far the best in my eyes. Nothing beats a pigeon all V'ed up (if you hunt them you know what i mean) and gliding into your setup and trying to hit more then just one when the scatter in every direction on the first shot.

 

 

Nycal and Tyler Hartsteen...We have been hunting waterfowl for about 15 years now, primarily ducks in northeastern Oregon.  It wasn’t until a few years ago that our cousin Neal Hunt, introduced us to pigeon hunting.  Although skeptical at first, one hunt was all it took to get hooked.  The way the birds work the decoys is almost identical to that of waterfowl, all the way from the approach to breaking down over the decoys.  If you enjoy decoy hunting as much as we do, there is no better way to spend an off season.

 

 

 

 Alex Kane...I am from Southern Minnesota and I eat sleep and breathe waterfowling and pigeon hunting. I have been obsessed with waterfowling since my dad first started taking me with him when I was three years old. If I'm not out hunting or working you can guarantee that I am out scouting. The thing that I enjoy the most is decoying birds up close and personal. That is why I took to pigeon hunting like I did, since I first started pigeon hunting in high school I have been completely and utterly obsessed with it. There are very few things that compare to getting a flock of 50 pigeons to put their feet out at ten yards.  It is also an excellent opportunity to get kids involved in the outdoors and there is nothing like seeing the smile on a kids face when he gets his first bird.

 

 

 

 

 Bernie Reschke II...I grew up in northern New York were I work now as a mechanic and waterfowl guide. Its been a life long passion of mine to be in the outdoors. From chasing pigeons out of silos as a kid with a BB gun to now laying over decoys as they race in. Pigeon hunting I feel rivals the best wing shooting experience you can have because there are no limits and no season. Watching these ariel acrobats race into your spread makes the hair stand up on any ones neck. Its also a great way too introduce young hunters into the shooting world
