Nah. Too big=too tough

If it was indeed a boar, I doubt the kids would have appreciated that rank meat very much anyway

think i ask this before, but anyone do pigeon hunting? like feral pigeons.

saw some videos of the guys over in Europe decoying them in a field looked pretty fun something to do in the spring and winter when there is nothing to hunt lol.

i have access to a few good spots with reports of some pigeons around the area, (just grain feed not the gross city ones) out in the middle of farm country so it should be pretty good eating. so any one ever decoy them or hunt them and tips or tricks.

went pigeon hunting on a friends farm maybe 3 weeks ago, and am going to be honest, there tougher to hit then a duck or goose,

got nothing that day, but saw tons of pigeons (okay maybe 100-200) but the wild life was out and about that day. counted at least 70 sharp tail grouse, 2 moose, and a field full of white tail at least 80. i have never seen so many white tail in my life.

ROFLOL. That sounds about like my luck. I go loaded for grouse, and the deer are plentiful, but no grouse. I go loaded for deer, there are plenty of grouse, but no deer.

I waterfowl hunt and we shoot pigeons some times too. The videos you see on the internet are nothing I have ever experienced. They don't decoy well, IMO, and the best way to kill them is with good lead #6 and a sure aim. You got to have a farmer that is tired of them and lets you in the barn yard. They trust us from hunting their farms and when they dump silage along the resting sheds and the pigeons pour in to land on the roof and we tear them up. You need to fire the guns straight up and fire a few rounds to condition the cows and make they are fine with it.

Got to make sure you are far enough away from the cows to not eject a shell in the loafing shed. Farmers say they are dumb enough to eat one and would have to be put down if it will not pass.

it always seems to be that way lol, the only thing we could shoot during this trip was rabbits and pigeons and we saw every thing else.
