Part 4 of our trip to St. John, Kansas to hunt with Richard Blakeslee of Triple Creek Outfitters and Matt Duff, Host of Major League Bow Hunter. We round out our last day with a few laughs and plenty of bird action!

We examine how the talents of homing pigeons were used during World War 2 and how those same skills can be used to train gundogs. Wade meets with pigeon breeder and expert, Wes Pfadenhauer to obtain ten juvenile homers to introduce into a new Sweet Point Setters loft.

Wade introduces ten juvenile homing pigeons into their new loft and five weeks later finds most of them have learned to return home after free flying sessions. Travis and Wade demonstrate how homing pigeons are used during training exercises with bird launchers.
