iamdrglass 15 Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Kyboy go to Walmart or any other box store and by a daisy f16 for about 7.00 bucks.....cut the yellow bands off it that it comes with and get the pink tapered barets and put on.....then go to the dollar store and spend five dollars on marbles. Hang a sheet up put a soda can in front of that, stand back about 15 feet and start shooting. For under twenty dollars you can have a great starter setup.......now go to YouTube look up bill Hayes how to shoot a sling shot video......after that look up simpleshot shooting sports.....joint put much thought into it just shoot at cans and golf balls so when you do go out hunting with your sling shot you will be ready.....have fun 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 That looks like the ones we have over here Give it a go mate Sliced pigeon breast on a salad is nice. You can spot a woody by the white collar and white stripe on the wings. Don't eat a feral pigeon, they're horrible little things - flying rats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kyboy44 11 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Well there is a bunch that stays around the barn at my cousin's I have to get a good look at them to be sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't believe we have wood pigeons here in the states. From what I gather what we call pigeons are actually rock doves.....but we still call them pigeons I have never eaten one yet but I don't see why they would be any different than any other game bird.

I don't think you guys get Wood Pigeon. Also, it looks like the Rock Dove is what we call a Feral Pigeon or, a flying rat. By all means have fun shooting it but, don't eat it. Wood Pigeons generally live in trees and eat leaves and berries etc. Feral Pigeons live anywhere - overhangs on buildings, factory roofs etc. They're happy to live right by large piles of their own excrement and, will eat any old crap. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamdrglass 15 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I personally wpould not have problem eating the ones around here. I live in a agricultural area so a lot of the diet would be wheat and barley. As far filthy birds go chicken aren't exactly cosmolatain lol.....but I would not have guilty feelings if I shot it and left it lay.......crows and coyotes. Need a easy meal at times ........Of course I will eat most anything at least once. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
