Couple hours decoying pigeon today (preventing crop damage before they get chance). Not interested in the enforcers but managed a few just on flight lines. One of them, a very fast on coming shot, high up probably 35yds+. Hit upper branches after I shot it. Picked up, its head was clean off & top part of breast like it been skinned! No damage to meat & far enough away that I doubt think the 32g #6 did it. Could it have ripped off as it came down through branches I reckon? I found the head about 5' from the body.
