Andra Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I shot around 30 pigeons on a session last week and a good few were quite bloody at the throat where the food goes in from the crop. One had a real mushy chest the food in its crop must have been there for ages as it was solid and rank and def was not going anywhere it must have been starving to death so I done it a favour tbh. I also noted that the chest flesh had little white rice like marks on it.... Very unhealthy specimen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
