Is there a way that I can shoot pigeons by using a pellet gun in my neighborhood legally?

Question

The city states that it is illegal to fire a pellet gun around the city. What about a hunting license for small games will that give me an exemption.

Answer 1

Contact your local LEO and ask them if it's legal and if not what code prohibits it. If none, then you need to contact your local DNR officer and ask if you can kill varmints and nuisances on your property if they are not to eat. If so, then most likely you can. Here we can, but they can't be for food, it can't go into adjoining property, it has to be on your own land and you can't do it after dark as it's a sound issue, not gun issue that prohibits it.

Answer 2

Get a current map of the city, clearly showing exactly where the city limits line is. Take this map to city hall, and confirm that it is up-to-date, on exactly where that line is, but make no mention of hunting. Write down the name of the clerk who told you this, include the time of day and date. Write the word "Journal" at the top of the page and your name. This is now a legal document. Next, contact your State Dept of Fish and Game, and ask what kind of license is necessary for hunting barn pigeons on a rural farm. Two can play at the game. They screwed with your Second Amendment Rights. Your move. Regards, Larry.

Answer 3

nope, you're still not allowed to hunt in city limits. A small game license doesn't give you the right to brreak that law. I suggest you feed the pigeons, a little rat poison mixed with bread works great. Also I've heard antacid tablets work well, haven't tried that one though

Answer 4

Forget it unless you want to do time and be hated by every animal lover in the city. Imagine your face on page 1 of your local paper with a number plate under your chin.

Answer 5

Hahaha. Dude,, if its on YOUR property, then its YOUR right.

As long as you tell them the pigeons are a nuisance, and a pest they shouldnt do anything.

Answer 6

Man, don't listen to these people that tell you your going to do time for shooting a pigeon. If you happen to run into the biggest a*****e of a cop you've ever met, at worst, expect a small, insignificant fine.
