There are a crap ton of pigeons out at the wma and i cant find a thing about them in the regs. Anyone inow if there is a limit or a season?

I don't know where you are but I would love to go if it's close enough and you need an extra gun.

I'd be interested in this too, depending on location and reg's

Which WMA? Might be up for it also.

Don't know the regs either but we shot them at the Elmore Co. CO OP one time back in the day and had a blast. There not real bright critters. We would shoot and they would circle around and keep coming back, we would shoot some more. Loaded em up and took them to an old man down from the house. He cleaned and ate them just like you would a dove.

They are just a larger dove. Growing up, we used to shoot em by a concrete plant. Tough lil bastards at times too.

I think they're like crows no closed season no bag limit

Funny a thread about pigeons popped up, i got to work today and a tagged pigeon was roaming around outside. Did some research and the bird was from georgia, they race them, took them up above nashville and set em loose and see how long it takes them to fly back home, That one got lost, fed and watered him and he just took back off headed home i reckon. Kinda a odd thing for people to do but pretty cool, Pretty bird

Sure they aren't ring necks?

I'm pretty sure there's no bag limit no closed season same as ring necks. They're not a native species so their fare game.

Did anyone do any pigeon shooting? I have been unable to find the rules about pigeons, and whether or not you can just shoot em

Pigeon is fair game year round but I doubt you can shoot them on a wma unless something else is in season. You aren't supposed to be armed on the wma out of season.

That's my understanding too...

If I am shooting with a pellet gun, in theory could I hunt pigeons at a WMA year round? Or would I still need to be hunting during another open season? There are also a few around my neighborhood that need to get taken out. There is a flock of nearly all white pigeons I have my eye on.

I doubt it. I don't know why the state is so weird about its public land here. There is zero reason I shouldn't be able to shoot a hog, a coyote, a crow, pigeon or anything else that is considered a varmint at any time on a wma. They just act like nobody can control themselves from poaching a deer if they allow you to carry a gun on a wma out of season. I have never heard a legitimate reason.

I agree 100%

The small south Ga town I grew up in would hold annual Jan. 1st pigeon shoots in the downtown district. The police dept ran it. We would sit on top of buildings and shoot them. They stopped the shoots in the mid 80's.

That's awesome. That's one way of dealing with the pigeon problem. Did yall eat them?

A mojo dove decoy screws pigeons all up. They can't resist it at all. Flying rats. They Doo doo up a barn and shat all over equipment. Damn those things
