Q:

This sucks

I had a visitor today at my huose. It was the county animal control officer. she got a report that I shot a pigion(flying rat) yesterday. I told her I did. She said I cant do that. I said I am sorry and she gave me other ways to keep the pigions away. I said I will look into those and thanks for the suggestions. She was pretty cool about the whole thing. So she just gave me a warning. nothing written or anything.

To me other suggestions would have been, shoot from the back yard or wear a gillie suit and camaflage real good. LOL

Well I guess I will have to be way more descrete it my next shooting experience. I talked to all my neighboors and they are anti pigion. It must have been the new people that just moved in across the street.

Well just thought I would vent.

Take care all.

Neighbors suck!!!

I like the bird feed idea, cover their house, cars and yard in pigeon poo!!!!

I can’t even begin to believe that pigeons are protected, I know seagulls are, for whatever reason, everyone seems to hate them so that is probably why… I’d double check the validity of that animal services employee’s claim…

A sherif gave me the low down last summer after I asked… If you pointing your barrel towards any road, letting one fly is a no-no… In a residential urban neighborhood you can shoot an air rifle on your own property into a secure backstop, but if a bird in is a tree (no backstop), do not pull the trigger or you’ll get a visit from the local whomever… 🙄

Hey at least your not in San Francisco, you would have been arrested and your rifle confiscated!!! Damn liberals make you turn off all your lights or you get a fine!!! What’s next, sir you have to pee standing up or we will fine you for that as well…

kojak,

I grew up out there (ca) Unless there is a local ordnance against discharge of your pellet gun in the neighborhood you live in, and the tree rat was in your yard (preferrable back yard) I think your animal officer was just too quick to judge the situation. Check with a local Fish&Game officer on the legality of pigeons. Best I remember Feral Pigeons are a non-game species huntable year round. If city ordnance prohibits use of an air rifle, then you will need to be careful of all your shooting, paper or feather. Far as I remember you don’t even need a hunting license to hunt on your own property. Best solution might just be to get to know your new neighbor better.

Damn liberals. Hope you get your situation straightened out

Kojak; I live in SOCAL too. I suggest you just shoot from a more concealed position with a good moderator. My neighborhood enjoys a complete lack of crows, ravens and pigeons. As far as the neighbors are concerned air rats avoid our area for some unknown reason. I tell them I believe that space aliens are invovled. They seem to buy this explanation. Dipshits….AKULA

Califlorida, both are full of liberal tree huggers.)

that’s not comply true, I live on a hippy commune were all the old hippies come to me to eradicate the blue jay population out of the many orchards here.

a real hippy can dress out a buck just as well as I can, these liberal dip shits of today have no idea what living off the land is as they live in big cities and try to dick – tate what other people shall do as their doing the same shit on their own.

that is way I call them Hippycrits.

That does suck. 😥 But that’s because people suck!! (except you guys 8) ) Give a nice gift as an introduction to the neighborhood… like a big bowl of “Fuck You..and mind your own business”

Take a bag of pigeon feed and seed your neighbors lawn on the down low. Let see how they like all the pigeons on their property.

Well, see… there’s the problem right there. You live in SoCal. GD hippie communists!!! 😆

I hate it when people just call the police, or animal control instead of just going and talking to the person.
