jondoe Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 As we are all aware, Canadas can, in certain cases, be classed as vermin. In such an instance shooting a bird at this range could be justified. I myself have shot a pigeon from about 5 metres, rendering it totally inedible. However, I was there to protect the farmers crops, and number one priority was to kill the pigeons. I knew that this particular farmer often kept an eye on us through binoculars, and had I not taken the shot, he would have wanted to know why. As some one has stated, it's better than a sixty metre shot that more often than not results in a wounded bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it is a lot harder to shoot a bird flying at that range than at say 30 yards when you give the cartridge a chance to spread. It may be classed as vermin, but to shoot something at this range shows a complete lack of respect for your quarry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelli montefeltro Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 noticed a bit of a problem with me making a reference to seeing a pigeon killed cleanly with a 24g 7.5. could the guys who made the silly statements just back them up with some ballistic information for me that makes clear these cartridges shortcomings??? is it because i didnt use a 36g 6 like you guys??? you shoot what you want and i will shoot what i want. i think its madness shooting any bigger than a 7.5 at a pigeon, or heavier than an ounce, 28g that is bivvy. just back your silly little post up before you shoot your huge gob off. thankyou.

This contradicts the reasoning why we're allowed to shoot pigeons in the general license. You're either shooting them to protect crops, where dead is dead and we make the most of those we can get meat off, or you're shooting them for sport. 'Respect' in my eyes is making sure that every bird shot is dispatched as cleanly as possible. Nial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you to a degree Benelli. A lot of the pigeons I shoot are with 28g 7 1/2, especially when I'm decoying, but there are times when I am roost shooting where the pigeons are higher and require a bit more shot. Nial, I respect your post; however, I feel that if you are shooting a bird at this range it is just wasting good meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I don't _like_ shooting sitters but I'm not a good enough shot to be confident of definitely hitting it if I 'give it a chance', and if the farmer saw me letting them go he wouldn't be best pleased.
