Would my wife have to get a hunting license to shoot pigeons? She wants to try hunting but I want her to try something cheap and easy before we spend money on getting her set up to hunt waterfowl.

It’s not a game animal, that being said, I think a GW could argue if doves were in the area. I’d call him and get his opinion on it. That’s the deciding factor.

In other words, I’d think no.

My initial thought was no as well and I only hunt pigeons in the spring and summer for training for my dog so even if doves were in the area we wouldn't be shooting them.
