Description

Joel Ebstein of ⁠California Gun Dogs⁠ joins me to break down his experience and processes when it comes to trapping pigeons in an urban setting!



  • How did this hustle start?

  • Starting --> Training --> Selling

  • "Legitimizing" the hustle

  • The renewable resource

  • Unloading the trapped birds

  • Transitioning the trapped birds into homers?

  • The cage setup (⁠Tomahawk cage⁠)

  • Multiple compartments within the cage

  • Food, Water, Shade

  • Reasons you aren't catching any birds!

  • Food options? Which is best?

  • Bycatch

  • Trapping in rural areas outside of the city
