Live pigeon shoot criticized

[Lotsabeagles]

I tried frying some pigeons once. As Destry said, tough. Afterward, I got to thinking that parboiling them might have made a big difference. My neighbor said as a kid (1920s), his mother would fix pigeons anytime the kids would shoot a mess from the barn.

Wood Pigeons are eaten all the time in the UK.

I wouldn't have a problem eating a pigeon long as it's a country shot bird.

I don't think there are many "Country" pigeons at our shoots. I ate a few from PA box bird shoots when I was barely a teenager, but I was not impressed. I never tried it again.
