Has anyone eaten domestic pigeons

I didnt know hunting was allowed in McDonalds parking lots

[Bow Walker]

I've eaten them at a few upscale Chinese Seafood restaurants. They were very good. Yes - they are all dark meat - no lighter/white meat at all.

I'd throw a couple on the Q without any hesitation.

Pluck and gut,place in a roasting pan with a little water,cover with bacon,roast at 250 for 2 hrs,remove bacon and apply bbq sauce,put back in oven until bbq sauce caramelizes,enjoy.

I've no clue how many I've eaten... Good eats. Just be sure of the feed source - Grain transfers are a good bet.

Domestic pigeons are on Schedule C so you don't even need a hunting license for them.

The way I understand it is that you DO need a hunting license to hunt schedule C animals, but because they are considered a pest animal ... there are no bag limits or any other restrictions ..... shoot males ... females ... babies ... whatever . you can even destroy nests and eggs . But you DO need a hunting license .

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but thats the way I understood it

OK seems to be the only thing I'm good at. From last year's regulation synopsis:

Schedule C
-> Schedule "C" animals can be captured
or killed anywhere and at any time in BC.
Schedule “C” birds may be hunted using electronic
calls. You do not need a hunting licence
to hunt or kill the following
Schedule “C” wildlife:

pigeon)

ask Slyfox he eats domestic pigeons and domestic crows

[ruger#1]

We have alot of them at the feed mill. All they do is eat and shit on everything. Air rifle works fine for them.

[Rutger]

Heard birds that feed on rail-grain from the tracks are not so good, because of the contamination in the ground from years of trains passing overhead?

We used to get them from underneath the train bridge in Mission (old Mission bridge) when we were kids out fishing for sturgeon. Wait for it to get dark and then one of the guys would go under the bridge and scrawg the buggers out of the nest. We would roast up the breast on an open fire. They were actually damned good eating. I think it would, like most every other animal, be wise to consider their food source. Grain fed should be just fine. Was a lot like Grouse.
