You can actually hunt them in my state (albeit in the hunting regulations they are referred to as "Rock Dove".) I have a buddy who was, among other business ventures, involved in varmint/pest control. His personal mission was to eradicate the pigeon population in the area. There are still a few around, as is to be expected with the amount of grain elevators we have around, but a few years ago they started actually using a form of pigeon specific birth control (I shit you not) in local feed sites and the population has dropped substantially. Otherwise, I say trap them, grain feed them for a few weeks, and feed them to the homeless/support your local food banks/high end restaurants. Dressed out, they are larger than quail, and are about the same size as a cornish game hen...just sayin' is all....
