Unless it's for meat, no. I live is a community of duck hunters, people who go out and get their bag limit every day in season. People buy entire fields so they can shoot the ducks that land in the wet spots, but you know what? They eat every fucking bird. I have a friend who makes a bit of money cooking up wild game sausage, meatballs, and other edibles for the hunters. You can't sell wild game products, so this is a private deal, but quite a bit is consumed or stored in freezers.
Agricultural pests pose a different issue, though. I visited a vineyard where the manager keeps a shotgun near the cellar door. Birds damage fine wine varieties, and when the noise cannons don't work,
>if it flies, it dies.
Unless you are starving enough to eat a scrawny bird, you are too lazy to get a clay pigeon launcher to go along with your shotgun. Practice with one of those, then go kill real game, something that gives a good quantity and quality of meat, clean it, cook it and eat it.
