Varmide disposal....
You're really missing something by not eating doves. Excellent table fare. heck, a delicacy. A bunch of dove breasts cooked on the grill with a small chunk of bacon on top or perhaps in kabobs is some of the best eating there is. Squirrel is pretty good too. Cook it just like you would chicken though larger animals tend to do better in stews.
Doves aren't really a pest but a game bird. Squirrels are a game animal but can sure be a pest sometimes.
House sparrows can actually be eaten. I ate them in a survival class once and they weren't bad at all. Not a whole lot of meat though. Take a few dozen for a meal. Your federal laws allow you to kill house sparrows since they are non-native songbirds and a pest. Same goes for starlings. I wouldn't eat those nasty things though unless I was starving to death. Shoot them on sight though if you can. A destructive non-native bird that is terribly detrimental to our native songbirds.
As for the pests I shoot which I don't eat after I shoot around the farm, stray cats and dogs, coyotes, coons and other vermin in the chicken house etc they get tossed in a pit dug especially for such purposes and covered with some lime to help with the stink.
