Quality Band-tailed Pigeon hunting guide and outfitter in Northern California. The little-known band-tailed pigeon is nothing like the feral pigeons at the local feed store. For a short window during autumn band-tailed pigeons can be seen in large flocks along mountain ridge tops in Northern California before they fly south further. Few hunters target the band-tailed because the opener coincides with the opener of general deer and bear season. For that reason, most band-tailed pigeon harvest is incidental to a deer or bear hunt. For those interested in some fast shooting this is the hunt for you. The season only lasts for one week but during that week you can find excellent shooting where tall roost trees are growing near prominent ridges. The hardest part is often finding the downed bird off the cliff – that’s where the dogs come in. Most often combined with other upland and even big-game hunting trips. Price is for 1 day. Additional days can be added.
