Me and my brother have found a really fun new pastime...Don't laugh...sniping pigeons!!! We both have crossman pump up air rifles, that are relatively quite, and shoot .177 BB's or pellets, with I think 1x9 scopes. We've been shooting them downaround the industrial part of town. Around the railroad tracks they eat grain that's fallen off the trains, and are going to the feed & seed store. We ussually just sit in the cover of the trees and pop them off the wire, or roof of the building. How many here have ever eaten pigeon? They taste just like dove (same family) and are about 2-3 times bigger. We've only gone twice, got 4 a few days ago and 3 today. Shots are 20-30 yrds head/neck. The way I see it, we're curving the population, cutting down on city pests, having fun and putting "city-dove" on the table. Trust me, it's more exciting then it probably sounds, And there're many different flocks around the city
