A friend of mine moved here from Denmark. He has been telling me that they do a lot of pigeon hunting over there. I would like to hook him up with a location within an hour or two drive of North Dallas where we can go shoot some pigeons(preferably for free). He has his public lands license so if you know of a public dove field that also has pigeons that would work great.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Was hoping someone had a known location to save a bunch of scouting, time and gas. The only feed lot I know of is out near Bowie on US287. Anybody know if they would be approachable? Unfortunately I don't think Phillips ranch is an option anymore...since it is almost completely developed in housing now.

It will probably take the scouting, time and gas you mentioned.
Gun's don't kill people. The Government does.
I killed eight gophers last year and a purebred Tennessee walking horse that was looking at me funny.

Didn't think anybody would care about pigeon shooting locations. I hope they're not like duck hunters and their spots.
