Could be? The beak is kind of curved?

Buck on your birthday! What a great present, and awesome way to spend a birthday! Good job!

I know how you feel. The pigeons sit up on the power lines like vultures,just waiting to swoop in. My neighbors probably think I am nuts when I am out flailing at pigeons with a broom stick, after they land in my yard

Thats a neat video. I live in mid town tucson, so I don't get many natives around. Only doves and occasional cactus wren. I started feeding the sparrows in the spring as I liked watching the hatchlings feed when they flopped out of the nests and got stronger. Somehow word went out on the pigeon telegraph that food was available. I got up to 20 lbs of seed a week. Enough of that!

Nice buck and gun. Great story!

Awesome buck! Congrats to your sister-in-law

Excellent! Good times! Can't wait to get up there in January!

I have an idea. Why don't they get the psycho's off the street, and leave the guns alone http://www.foxnews.c...lems-for-obama/

I would love to start flinging projectiles and "Thin the herd", however my neighbors would hear or see me, and snitch to the landlord. If it wasn't for that, those pigeons would be resting peacfully in the promised land.

What a super buck, in some great looking country. I must admit that I am envious. My bad back just can't handle the heavy backpacking anymore. As much as I would love to do it. Were you seeing any elk up high.?

Snap Shot you were close man, but it doesn't quite compare, your dropping the little boy, when you need to be dropping the Fat Man. That is awesome! I l like it!

I can use about 10 of those hawks. But Pigeons are like cockroaches, kill 50 and 50 more show up next week.

Thats probably true. Can't afford to feed them all.

I had a brainstorm idea. Take away the "Freedom of the press", every time they lie, impose extremely harsh fines for the lying liberal media and all the media spin doctors, We could balance the budget in no time

When it comes down to it, the big bucks I don't kill, are usaully the ones that outsmart me. So Iam not killing large or small bucks,,,,,,,,lets call it a wash.

There actually is a hawk around on occasion. He needs to bring all his buddies back with him and feast on this pigeon horde.

It's tough to pass on a buck like that, especially towards the end of the hunt. I probably would have done the same as you, and passed him up. I live in my RV, and the freezer is about the size of a large shoebox.

Funny thing is the pigeons and sparrows will eat side by side with each other. If a Dove shows up, the pigeons get really agressive and chase off the doves

and don't forget to check the tree for squirrels when you get home

I was just looking at some info online. They reccomend buying a big plastic owl or hawk and putting on a fence or tree, but that would scare off all birds methinks!

LOL. Then the best coarse of action is not to give out anything.Then they will all go away. Now if I could just do that with liberals!

Usually the top of the tree is cut off to the size you need. I always put sugar water in the tree holder. I also misted the tree everyday with a spray bottle. It helped keep them from drying out to soon. Big fire hazard when they get dry.

Pedigree's are nice, but my best dog was a stray that I found and adopted. +1 on the pound. Save a dog's life, and gain a great friend.

Nice! Great time,and memories, with your brothers.
