Like my hero Nash B. I am a 12 ga. man- and I use the "newbie" Parker VH for barn pigeons, don't eat them- the cats and 'coons do Had a hunting pal-called them squabs- he grew up in Indiana (where doves are legal)said mourning doves and barn pigeosn are cousins-maybe? One thing for sure- when they "launch" they drop down first to load their wings- I have seen some "peppered" barn pigeons shed feathers in mid-air, do a barrel roll, and stay airborne-and as the live bird boys use 12 gauges- so do I-only I shoot for fun and practice--RWTF
