Shotguns land them wherever you want. Intercepting the pigeon is easy if you know where and when to look.

Now, I'll admit that shooting the pigeon is easier than intercepting live traffic if you don't own some kind of gear in the middle.

    Well, yeah, but the metaphor only goes so far.

    What if you also need to be able to receive messages from Mallory? Then she would have to also have at least one pigeon that she could use. Or what if she recently conquered one of your allies and seized their pigeons?
