… I’m gettin some Norman bates vibes here lol

Used to get some dove hunting, not bad but dang tough, we'd cut breast of dove and pigeon and toss them in marinara to simmer all day.

I like them better than dove, and easier for me to shoot.

I don’t eat them, Les I am…I shoot them off the peak of my building though…

I have eaten more pigeons than dove. They were country pigeons and the few doves we have usually leave about the time season opens Sept. 1

In Grade 9 a friend of mine came to school with pigeon sandwiches for lunch. Grossed me right out!

He insisted they tasted like roast beef.

The next day, pigeon sandwiches again! C’mon!

I tried a bite and son of a gun it does taste like roast beef! Good, but freaked me out.

Never tried it again.

They build their nests out of grass and such and cement it together with their guano. Lots of it.
Can't do it.

My Grand mother fixed it for us 1 time when I was a kid. Guess it was a treat. I didn't like it. Called it squab. Mom said it came from the farm. Her grandparents place.

Ate them when I was a kid. Back then you ate what was put on the table or you got nothing.
