Any Tips On Hunting Pigeons?? Decoys, Tactics, Etc...?

I am just starting to get into hunting barnyard pigeons in feedlots and grain fields. I currently have a robo-duck for motion purposes and have just been using whitish gray duck decoys for other decoys. I am just looking to get some more info on decoys or how other people do it. Tips are helpful. Pics would be great!! Also I would like to know what shot size would be best, 20 or 12 gauge. Let me know and thanks a lot for the help!!

Answer:

All that I can think of is to be sure that you are, indeed, shooting at pigeons and not some protected species.
Pigeons....hmmm. How about silos?-Ya' always see them there. Also, use small, white garbage or grocery bags as decoys in the field. Sometimes they will come into those. Otherwise, just get yourself some high speed, low drag varmit rounds for a rifle and have at'er. -As for shotgun ammo and cal, I highly recommend the 12 ga with cheap, 7 or 6 shot in 2 3/4 shells.
