Dinner?

If I was in Minnesota, yeah. Here, I'm inside city limits, so they're off limits.

Unlike you, I don't need any help. Shot plenty of deer in my life. And rabbit, squirrel, a variety of game birds, etc.

Why do suppose Knutely would need help?

Perhaps he is a good shot as well as armed and dangerous.

How do you help someone shoot a critter, other than by giving them marksmanship lessons?

Not help for shooting things. Guess the insult went over your head.

Here's a couple of mine from last Sunday.  Lucky for this guy I don't hunt bear, I shot one once and hated it so I don't hunt it.

I never shot any birds but used to catch afew of pigeons with my hands.
since they`re normally over 20 of them on the ground the takeoff is fairly slow so it`s real easy to just grab them in mid air.
kids in chinatown used to do it alot til it became illegal to eat pigeons nowadays

what kind of bird do you shoot?

I don't know if you were talking to me, but I shoot grouse, wild turkey, and occasionally pheasant.  I don't care for duck and goose and I won't shoot anything that I won't eat.  Dove is good and fun shooting, but a long drive for me to get to where they are.

Beautiful pics, thanks.
 I  have taken to honking the horn going around certain curves on roads, because i've seen several deer idling across the road in years past. 

Now I see them much closer to my home, within 3 blocks.  Poor things.

ami actually but I heard from my friends wild turkey is one of the hardest animals to hunt.

=================================
It's illegal to eat a pigeon?

Can one eat a dove?

Or a squab?

What's the difference, anyway?

This can't be because they are an endangered species.

There's a sequence I'd like to see:

Soundtrack: "bad boys, bad boys whacha' gonna dew when dey comes fer yew?"

Then we see a chubby officer kicking down some poor dude's door with a pistol in his hand, running into the kitchen and seeing a couple of pigeons in a frying pan.

"Book him Dann-o"

Or arresting a guy with a piece of fried pigeon in his mouth (it looks like chicken, but smaller).

I think it`s the same law that forbids folks from killing goats in thier own homes.

it`s fairly racist because if you look at it ,only ethnic folks will be charged
but nowadays it maybe illegal but I never heard anybody get in trouble for it
it might be a health code
pigeon is pretty nasty nowadays
I wouldn`t try to catch them now.

Birds have no bladder control.  I think pigeons have always been somewhat nasty.

I don't think pigeons are likely to be eating anything nastier now than they did in previous times. There used to be a lot of horses in the streets, which had to make the streets somewhat nastier.

Squab is pigeon, and dove is a cousin.  We used to hunt band-tailed pigeons out here when I was a kid before they closed the season, they're a wild pigeon and are exceptionally good eating.  City pigeon probably wouldn't be bad, as with anything else, it's all in how you dress it and cook it.
