When dove hunting do you shoot and eat the Rock Dove(pigeon). Last year we had several flocks of these fly over but didnt shoot them because you could tell they were pigeon. For some reason i feel like it is more of a trash bird. Anyone else feel this way.

Squab is nasty...kill'm all...unless they are carrying a top secret message, don't kill those ones...

I would shoot them.

I would have shot as many as possible.

I shoot all I can. They taste great. especially if they are grain fed. Stay away from those city pigeons

This is true, especially since the city (trash-fed) birds hardly every wander outside of the city limits.
As for the ones I shoot, I just grind them up along with all of my doves and make jerky out of them.

I love me some jerky, but man dove is not meant to be made into jerky!!!!! Although I don't doubt that it's good!

Pigeons are great eating. Typically a pigeon in the country has a good diet (same as a dove) and should be shot and eaten.

"Squab" is actually young, flightless pigeon. Kinda like veal vs. beef.

We grill or stew pigeons. I will actually seek out farmers that will let me shoot pigeons on their land.

Its been since January since I kilt something, dove, pigeon, rat, squirrel it dont matter come 7am tomorrow something is dieing.....

i gotta wait til friday, this sucks

"Rock dove" is still a dove! It may be a big dove, but that just means you can add a bigger jalapeño and slice of cheese with the bacon wrap.

My brother killed a banded white one while dove hunting when we were kids, ironically the tag read "Lucky".

6:31am to be exact

I agree 100%, fishing can only hold me over for so long...

how's that dove tree working for ya?

City pegions bad migratory pegions taste like dove almost
