you can eat dead pigeon but a dead drone you cannot
Wild pigeon, like most of wild turkey, is too tough to eat.
My former boss killed a bunch of them that were infesting his barn (pigeons), & even as a wild game chef he was unable to tenderize them.
Squab from domesticated pigeon is a different story.
So...blasting wild pigeons that make a mess of your property is OK, but shooting wild ones as targets isn’t. Hmmm.....
