I can't imagine much meat on them, and I doubt they're willing to cook them for an ounce of meat - it's only for "sport", and the pigeons they shoot are trapped in cities and transported to the shooting sites. That's why they're in those traps for so long without food or water. Some even die in there.
99% of deer hunting is for a trophy! If they want to eat deer that have been eating toxic substances, or get something like mad Cow disease, in deer it's Chronic Wasting, it doesn't show up in a long time, like 20 yrs or more...

I could not put up with all that as long as you did! Is Dove meat really that good? I would not think there would be much meat on them. Dove hunting is still popular here in Texas and I don't like it. My bird feeder stays full all the time and I have two doves that come in the late afternoon and feed on the seed that is on the ground around the bird feeder. They are beautiful birds. I only have one pigeon that lost it's mate about 3 yrs ago that comes around my feeder as well. I could never imagine shooting them. ----- Original Message ----- From: Georgetta Brickey <mailto:gebr...@hotmail.com> To: FeLV List <mailto:felvtalk@felineleukemia.org> Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 10:51 PM Subject: [Felvtalk] Hunters Your posts reminded me of something that happened 40+ years ago on our family farm in Central California... during dove hunting season. We did not allow hunters on our property, but when dying doves fell in our fields and pastures after being shot nearby, hunters would climb over our fences to retrieve the bloody bodies. One afternoon the shotgun pellets were raining down on our roof and through the branches of our oak trees and we were afraid to go outside so Mom called the county sheriff. When he arrived to talk to them about unsafe shooting... Mom noticed his hand was bandaged...an idiot dove hunter had actually shot the deputy in the hand!!! Go figure! When I drove my 25 miles to work, each morning I felt like a cardboard duck in a fair shooting gallery... groups of "hunters" parked on their backsides sitting on coolers of beer with umbrellas erected overhead would wait on both sides of the road for flocks to fly over. I managed to get to work unscathed for 5 years, but was never certain I would survive the Sept - Nov. annual killing season. Our hunting neighbor across the road went out with a few friends and came back with only one eye... not a single "friend" would admit he fired the blinding shot. Nice, huh?
