Pigeons are disease carrying rats with wings and eat my dog's food which drives my dog up the wall. They are also birds, so descendants of dinosaurs, I feel that killing pigeons is retro-active revenge for all of those dinosaurs killing our proto-mammalian predecessors.

this is a myth. pigeons are actually far cleaner and safer than your dog hygiene wise. they are also unrelated to vermin.

Augh I voted rats but then I remembered you should punch rats instead of wasting ammo on them. Shoot dogs and tougher targets with the pellet gun, or better yet don't shoot anything if it's not a Red Ryder LE; those BBs can be hard to come by.

vermin also refers to anything considered a pest species by most people, it's why there are usually no hunting laws to protect most vermin/pest species in most areas.

I miss hunting small game with air rifles when I used to live out in the boonies or whatever. My favorite to shoot was possum- you have the nail them in the right spot or they just scurry away like "OH poo poo". Most satisfying feeling in the world to put them down with one shot. Those who have done it know what I'm talking about.

There's no feeling like nailing a pest that's perched on a tree and watching them fall down like 20-30ft to their doom. You can shoot at cans and steel targets, but nothing comes to small game. They are the ultimate reactionary target.

I had a BB gun a dozen years ago or so, shot toward a bird not thinking I'd hit it a million years and ended up killing it. I've been a broken man ever since.

So what I'm saying is go shoot a bunch of birds.

i shot a squirrrel right in the eye once from 50 ft away with a pellet gun. He was on a tree branch and i shot him off it. I expected to feel something but i felt nothing at all. That made me wonder about the nature of killing too much that i never did it again. Right in the eye though. :masterstroke:

I have this really amazing Walther LGV pellet gun, it's about as accurate as a pellet gun gets. I have taken out some feral pigeons with it, (headshots are less effective than body shots because lol pigeon brains)

My best shot was getting one right through the nose. Means he must have been looking right at me. I took pictures and everything (not going to share here for obvious reasons). Still proud of that one though.

The reason you don't feel anything because they're disease carrying pests so we've been conditioned to hunt them (although in the most humane manner possible). Rats, feral cats, raccoons, possums, and squirrels. People who live a sheltered life in the city don't understand this. Don't expect them to.

I miss hunting them things

Cotton tails and Jack rabbits are nasty critters. Make sure you kill them with one shot otherwise they make a human baby scream in pain when they are wounded.

there was once an owl standing my car spoiler. It turned its freaky head all the way around at me like "wut". I figured it'd fly away once I walked close to it but it did not. I actually had to start my car to make it leave.

It was one of those smaller body but HUGGGGGGGE EYES ones too. I feltl ike it was talking to me

You're a liar and an image leecher both of which are despicable on their own but when they're combined it's ok I guess.

Try taking out a bear, preferably a female with cubs. It might take more than one shot but you'll get it eventually.

Kill owls on sight. Was painting a MLM office building and a big rear end barn owl was up in one of the dormers. Bastard attacked an electrician, clawed his face good.

This. If you're buying and eating mass market meat and just shooting wild animals for fun then you're a piece of poo poo. If you shoot it, eat it or use it.

There's a big difference between hunting pests and outright killing animals. If you can't tell the difference, continue to feel outraged for no reason at all I guess.

Do you eat meat?

I was going to post that cats aren't pests but don't they have a really bad feral cat problem in Australia? I watched a thing where a guy had a bumper sticker that said "The Only Good Cat is a Dead Cat".
If you don't live in Australia OP don't shoot cats.

Shoot more pigeons, but make sure they're actually city pigeons. There are some pretty rare wild pigeons that are becoming endangered because opportunistic city pigeons hog all the best breeding spots.

Vermin isn't a zoological category, it just means any small animal that annoys and pesters people, which city pigeons certainly do.

Would a person living in the city even own a pellet gun? It seems pretty unlikely.
