Decoying

Decoying

Pigeon decoying is a hunting technique that uses artificial or shot pigeons (decoys) to lure live birds into a specific "killing zone" or landing area within shooting range of a concealed hunter (hide). It is an effective method for crop protection and sport, relying on the fact that pigeons are social birds that feed in groups
