A part of The Great Sell-Off of 2001 was a Winchester Model 270 that was used by the last legal pigeon control officer in Vancouver, B.C. Canadaicon. I bought the rifle from his son which came in a custom made box and had a special compartment with a letter from the Chief of Police authorizing the named bearer of the letter to shoot any and all pigeons. The first of these rifles were made in 1963 so apparently shooting rifles in the city limits of Vancouver was still legal, at least for some quite late in the modern era. Apparently, as I was told the Pigeon Control officer did most of his 'culling of the herd' near the wheat pools but was authorized to shoot pigeons anywhere.
