I use a Leapers 3x9x40mm IR retical mil-dot Custom tuning kit vortex velocity 750fps with JSB Predators or jumbo extremes.Any pigeon $hitting on farm machinery is fair game....shot lots of grouse ,crows,gophers and skunks with it as well.......Harold..D+L airguns in BC carries the optics.......Specialty Shooting Sports best price on airguns

My dad used to love pigeon .... I find them quite nasty, too strong a flavour for me!!!

I went to a pheasant/grouse/pigeon shoot in January. We had 10 guys and they had 500 pheasants, 200 grouse and 300 pigeons + 4 guys with retrievers for us. I think we got 60% of the birds. Got some frozen pigeon breasts in the freezer - need to do up some pigeon pie

 

[roccoskeet]

Ah winged rats are very tasty ! Fun to shoot with a .410 on the wing they get smart fast if you miss.

Bait them into an area and ground sluice them. Or trap them in a barn at night and use an air gun and a flashlight.

you guys shot 600 birds? Who packed your ammo?
That's an amazing amount of shooting for one day.

Those are released birds, typically pigeons are used because they are cheap. I know a few people who trap and sell pigeons to "preserves". Chances are the fellow was not shooting grouse either. I am not aware of anyone in Canada raising any sort of grouse, maybe chukars or huns but not our native grouse.
