jguy1986 Posted October 1, 2013 Share #8 Posted October 1, 2013 Collect some old pigeon bones and add some mystery to the pen!! Sounds like a good excuse for a trip to Chinatown. Pigeon bones and dim sum... just hopefully not from the same shop. -- Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted October 1, 2013 I'm definately not adding any pigeon bones to it. I'm sure the wife wouldn't approve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easterneagle87 Posted October 1, 2013 Share #11 Posted October 1, 2013 I'm definately not adding any pigeon bones to it. I'm sure the wife wouldn't approve. I am glad! That would be a little creepy. Would give the feeling that they were forgotten in there to die a slow death. Thanks for standing on the hgh ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted October 7, 2013 Share #12 Posted October 7, 2013 Do a search for pigeon gear. We have a good thread covering much of the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
