Took my Atomic .22 Hunting Yesterday:)

Check out Airguns of Arizona… solid initial and after the purchase service…

Wasn’t sure if he’s asking about the BRK or GK1

Isn’t this thread about Atomic XR goodness? I believe the question pertains to the Atomic… Why complicate it? You did not take those birds with a GK1…

My understanding is pigeon taste like what they eat. Farm pigeon ok, factory and city pigeon not palatable. Personally don’t eat pigeon.

I had a job out of town near my spot so I decided to pack my Atomic. Bagged 2 quails and a pigeon. All are ready to be cooked. Distances were very close. I also packed my gxel3 but didn’t even refill. 30 rounds was more than enough.

Kudos to you on plucking them. I'm lazy and breast them out the 3 finger field way.

Quail is one of the best tasting game birds I think.

Again, I commend your work ethic.

You nailed it, which is why band tailed pigeon actually tastes good, but the season and limits make them sort of a rare find where im at unless you know of a perching spot. Theyre huge too.

So far the conclusion is quail and doves taste good(wish Airguns were allowed for morning doves) everything is not so much unless I find a different marinade or recipe

These birds are eating pistachios and things like that but theyre still gamey
