Wouldn't eat pigeon from anywhere near an urban area but out in the country where they're eating from grain bins it's probably pretty tasty.

I only eat the racing kind.

I have heard that red breasted robin tastes the same as dove. Haven't tried yet.

I did a long time ago. Been able to afford not to for a while now.

I have probably eaten more Robins than dove in my life. To me Robins were less gamey. By the way Robins were a hell of a lot easier to hunt than dove. A good BB or pellet gun and you were good to go.

What does marmot taste like?

Kinda like a slightly gamey pork. It's very very dark meat but Overall, it's really pretty tasty. I would slow cook it w tomato and juniper berrys to cut the gaminess.

My grandfather said this same thing. They ate those and meadow-larks when times were tough growing up.
He called them the poor man's dove. Didn't need a shotgun to hunt them.

Good for you, Just Panda. I'll only add that I'm at a very low body fat and very high muscle plus high HDL, low triglycerides and I'm 6'1 183 lbs. I do it eating pretty much nothing but fat and meat with some low carb veggies.

I do not eat carbs. Wondering if your original problem was not so much meat eating as carb eating?

At any rate, do what works best for you.

And no, I've never had pigeon.

I prefer Yellow Headed Matressthrasher

They do not…

Young pigeons taste like Ortolan bunting. IYKYK

When the dove hunting was the slow, I know where a grain silo is that has some pigeons. We were heroes when we had dove for dinner at a cookout that night….

One guy got into the silo and fired his shotgun inside of the silo. The chaos that erupted was comical. That guy's idea of fancy beer is keystone.
