Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints Are pigeons varmints?

Thanks gents for the heads up. I never thought of them as winged rats but I've got the picture. There's plenty of dairy farms around here. When I lived in Cleveland, OH they brought in some peregrine falcons and cleaned up the city. I voluntered to shotgun shoot them but was denied the opportunity.

Theres LOTS of opportunity to use a shotgun in Cleveland�


Ive killed a schittload of pig-hens and like someone said, tried eating some, thinking they'd be the same as doves.

Mine weren't�...


They tasted like what they ate, which was apparently pig schitt.

When I was a kid (not that long ago) it was no big deal to take my Daisy pump .177 air gun to the wash and shoot schit. No big deal. Anymore, I would be arrested and go to jail for that!

I used to also bait them to the back yard with dog food and then shoot them through my moms kitchen window with my bow. My mom thought that was pretty cool.

Put me in the ya I done it camp, and ya I ate um, and ya they were good. But then, Im a country boy, we do weird stuff for fun.
