I have been told the same, but playing devils advocate :
Is it unsporting then to let pigeon land in the decoy pattern?,
Is it unsporting to shoot a fox or rabbit that is standing still?
Not trying to be smart just curious on peoples opinions then.
pigeon isnt thought of as a game bird like a pheasant
pigeon fox and rabbit are all considered vermin
thats the diffrence of shooting them not moving
and i would always shoot the pigeon when it gliding it
