Pigeon

Hunting season
15. August – 31. January

Pigeon shooting is more and more popular at summertime. It is also a very good target ­practice for hunters.

In Hungary, pigeon settled in 1920s and thence their number reaches explosively.

Today you can find it in flatland as well as in highlands. Every mornings and early afternoons the collared dove fly to sunflower patches.

The main migration is at the end of August and at the beginning of September, because it is the time of agricultural harvest. The pigeon hunting can combine with semi-wild duck or roe buck hunting in the rutting season.
