Don't 'hunt' them here, per se.....prefer to use them for dog training instead (when I can get my hands on some).
Quite popular in the U.K.....I believe the species is "wood pigeon", and they are consumed.
I still cant get myself to try one....even though I've held them captive and fed them the best cracked corn money can buy.

Pigeons

Pigeons aren't bad. Ya just eat the breast anyway so you pick the breast and tear the breast off. Cook 'em like ya would a dove. Or debone the breast and cook 'em in a crock pot with onion soup mix. Oh cut the breast into small cubes...make a gravy and pour the thickened stuff over long grain and wild rice..little broccoli or asparagus and they are great. I also remember my grandmother fixing a depression era dinner of my sister and I and 2 cousins one day. She had a little Remington 22 pump rifle with a smooth bore. She threw out some bread crumbs and shot about 30 sparrows. She breasted them out and fixed up sparrow in gravy with mashed taters and peas. Hey it was reaalllly good. Surprising what turns out to be good when you is hongry.
