Welcome to

I bough a pigeon trap to catch birds I can use training my GSP pup. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I have yet to trap one after about a month of moving it to different locations.
I was using sunflower seeds for bait and changes over to wild bird seed. I have been placing the trap underneath highway overpasses and railroad tressels where I have seen pigeons flying in and out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think these guys are using corn to bait their trap. They put the corn out for a few days on the ground without the trap, Then they add the trap on top of the corn later and are catching pigeons. There are also pictures of the trap (home built) that they are using.
