  • Using my FX Dreamline in .177 shooting JSB 8.4 at 730 fps at one of the dairy farms that has so many of these pest birds. Poor cows have bird crap on them all the time and in their food. Disgusting. Thinning them out so that they can be happy again.

    Awesome video and shooting skills!! 👍👍 No shortage of targets either! 😯
    I get some of those invasive, aggressive and disease carrying here too, but I find when I ping off a few of them and just leave them lay on the ground, the others seem to get the idea that my yard is a "no fly zone", lol. Of course you're dealing with much higher numbers than I am.

    That was great! I hate starlings and sparrows. Too bad I can’t shoot them in my yard in a safe manner because of the close proximity to my neighbors. I did order a suet feeder and I’m thinking of setting it up with a backstop so I can shoot them out of my window.

Use the JSB supers and they make a satisfying whack with the .22!! Waiting for a new bait station to take off, then hit the bane of out forests and woods, the grey tree rat/squirrel. They're good fun if you have the time and terrain.

      @midwestairgunner8500  Před 3 lety +1

      Yes. As long as it was not too powerful and light weight. Just stop by farms and talk to the farmer. At one farm I stopped to farmer on the road, told him I saw he had lots of birds on his farm. He said yes he did. I then asked him if he liked them. When he said no, that was my opportunity. I took it and he said yes.

  • @SuperbiainProelioCitizen

    This might be unpopular opinion, and I do not mean any disrespect to anyone with opposing views, but we are all species of this world, it’s their planet just as it’s ours. Yes they are destructive, but so are we, humans cause pollution, wars, poaching and much more! And all of that has effected many other species and even caused many to go extinct. Not to mention they are highly intelligent birds and very beautiful. It’s not by any means their fault, their existence and their activities are part of nature, and nature is perfect the way it is. They don’t know that they are causing harm, they just do what Mother Nature taught them. Other species deal with human destruction, we should be able to deal with theirs .

    • @midwestairgunner8500

      As they are an invasive species, ie they don't belong here, I am doing my part to help our native species continue to survive as per your views noted. It is hard enough for our native species to survive let alone thrive. Adding Starlings and English sparrows to the mix is like tying one of their wings and telling them to fly. Not too successful.
