Anyone ever shot a pure white pigeon?

I got one this spring.

It doesn't pay to stand out in a crowd.

I got one this spring with a band on its leg.

What was the range on this one Bob?

The shot? I believe it was 20 yds.....on the ground eating in the cow feeding area. I missed him once on the silo at 55 yards maybe 30 min before that.

I'm surprised at the low participation on this topic. 

I think I got two of them. I have scope cam on both.....I'll need to check it for the other one......though I don't think he was 100% white otherwise I would have taken a picture.

My daughter is the one who told me to get a white one if I could. That why I had the funny pic as I sent it to her that day.

ADDED:

I found the vid......start at 11:50 for the white one. Turns out he was not 100% white.

Let me find the video with the pure white one. Found it....start at 8:16.

Here's a really pretty one.....not pure white though.

It would be nice to have more participation in the discussion though. Oh well.

Keep at 'em......you're bound to get a pure white one!



PS: I'd bet Ted has shot one or two. ;-)

I shot one but no pic.So it’s all hear say

White pigeons all have roots in captivity. There are pure White racing homers, white king pigeon, white show pigeons. They escaped there cages and mix with " commie pigeons" . All the wild pigeons ( " commie " ) are mixes of domestic and native birds, with the majority having largely domestic lineage.

Me and a buddy chased one all summer and fall. We killed 90% of the flock this white one was apart of. We named it Moby.... As hard as we tried we just couldnt ever get set up to get a shot on it. I swear that flock was sending out scouts and set centuries along the road/trail we used to get to the old bridge they roosted under.Its like the entire flock new what we were up to.Eventually what was left of that flock moved on some where else...

I've never even come across a pure white one In the wild. didn't even know it was a sought after thing.

The only white one I ever shot had a band around it's leg with a guys phone number on it. I called the guy and told him I shot his bird and he wasn't to pleased. lol. I politely told him the thing was in a flock chowing down on the feed so it was fair game.
