Went dove hunting yesterday did really good and picked up a few banded birds when I called the American Racing Pigeon Union they gave me the owners phone number of the birds when I called them one guy wanted the carcass so he could bury it and the other guy called me a few chose words, then I asked him when there next race was he then used alot of choice words and hung up. I thought it was pretty funny to be sitting out in the dove field and see a 100 pigeons come out of nowhere. Has anybody else killed any banded Pigeons before?

Really duman? I have an uncle that races pigeons, and quite a bit of money and time go into raising those birds. Don't get me wrong, I love bird hunting and if you want to shoot pigeons, more power to you. But to call and taunt the owners, that might just fall into the category of bad bull.

I'm staying out of this one.
Noticed that on wikipedia it says racing pigeons are banned in Chicago. Funny.

damn, I know a guy that races them. those guys spend THOUSANDS of dollars on them. as much as 30K on a single bird.
7:13p, 9/21/10
I guess if they spend that much $$ on a bird then they should keep better track of them. And if they were having a race during dove season, then they are plain old dumb.............

First thought was that this was hilarious. Upon hearing that people spend 30k per bird...well its still funny. I'm guessing dove season is taken into account in these races. It's part of the challenge. If I'm going to spend 30k on a bird for a race I better be able to teach it to dodge 1200 fps pellets. Apparently these two weren't good enough to win anyway.

ok why the hell/how the hell do people get into spending thousands of dollars on racing pigeons?????

How do you know that bird is worth $30k? Someone just said someone people spend that on some birds. You can buy a thoroughbred for $1,000,000, you can also buy one for $1,000. Maybe quit freaking out and get the sand out of your vagina, just a thought.

Again, I have no problem at all with shooting feral pigeons they're rats with wings. What rubs me the wrong way however is the thought process that shooting something whether it is a racing pigeon (not "racin" pigeons) or not, that someone has invested their ( see what I did there duman I used "their" to identify an individual, not "there" which would identify a location) time into as a joke, regardless of how much of their money is invested, the time invested is much greater.

doctor- id love to think duman could identify a racing pigeon in the air but i highly doubt he could see the bands as they were flying.... i mean, the kid has a hard time telling a dude from a chick at the bar.

Is it wrong that I can't stop laughing. WhoTF thought it was a good idea to have a pigeon race during dove season. Furthermore, whoTF would ever think, "I wonder if this pigeon can fly faster than other pigeons. Perhaps we should race them."

"I wonder if this pigeon can fly faster than other pigeons. Perhaps we should race them."
im fairly certain this would prolly harken back to the days when carrier pigeons were used in war a faster one might be the diff in living and dieing

Texaspigeonhomo you have confirmed my suspicion the pigeon union is full of squirrels and thank you for putting your website up for me because I will tell all my so called redneck buddies to be on the look out for pigeons in the field.
