My buddy Dan, been buds since 9th grade, won a trip from work to go to Argentina on a dove hunt. These guys killed over 2000 doves a DAY on this little adventure. They had people who load your one shotgun while you fire the other. The place was really highly recommended by Dan, he had a blast.

I think they threw them in the ditch. If you saw the video, you can see they are a nuisance in that area. Many were picked up and huge meals made of, rest left for coyotes. The folks in that live in that area are also welcome to them daily.

If you live in Texas, they do the same thing with hogs, here's your ditch.

I have heard stories about the "bird boys" using a sling shot to dispatch the wounded ones. Seems they are pretty accurate!

Never had Squab, when we were 12-13 there was this 'lil ole man that would buy baby pigeons from us for .25 cents each. So every now and then we would wait till dark grab a "tow sack" ie. burlap bag, and go to the local abandoned grain elevator climb up inside the tower and gather up a bag of Squab.
Dove on the other hand...........................Oh yeaaaaaaa, really good eatin, was always told they tasted like liver. &%#$$%^% I don't like liver and Dove tastes nothing like it to me!
I think this would be fantastic! Tim do you know can birds be brought home? Probably not due to storage and or importing, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings to put 2-300 birds in my freezer! Thomas
