On this day of pest control some magpies made the mistake to get in my crosshairs - 6 in a row!
And same as always - a lot of pigeons.
Enjoy!

Feeding the farm cats...good job, and very nice shooting. Hey, I have to ask, in some prior comments you had mentioned about people making comments about shooting WHITE pigeons??? What’s the deal with that? If their pooping in the livestock’s food...well...they got to go...Right? Here in the USA, particularly Pennsylvania south western Pa that is...people say that it is taboo to shoot albino whitetail deer. I don’t know what that’s all about but I assure you that if it is causing me issues...it’s gone. Am I going to shoot it in deer season...honestly I don’t know what the superstitious or beliefs are all about. It has never happened to me and only have seen them with spotlights when I can not shoot and just scouting around, but White pigeons are far more common and more prone to be a pain in the butt for farmers. So...they gone! I would be more concerned about keeping my permission and the farm animals safe from disease than what others think. Maybe I would smash them and just omit the footage from the video👍. Either way...your there to do a job and help the farmer and help him protect his investments. Good for you my friend for taking out so many pests. They have to be controlled or the situation could get VERY BAD INDEED. God bless my friend. Take care and stay safe.

@AirRifleActivities 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the kind comment and support, Heath 👍 All this thing with the white ones started with some guys telling me that they are a symbol of peace, and other guys claiming that hawks target white ones more easily, so when I shoot them I deprive raptors of their food source 😄 All of the above is nonsense, if you ask me, and many reasonable guys like you said so in the comments section. So I thought I'd indulge both parties in this small argument and mention this in my vids form time to time 😉 But whiteys are not spared in general, as you can see.

Hiya bud good to see you having good luck with the magpies they are one bird near me that always seem to be in high number's so at every opportunity iv always tried to get as many as I can 16 was my best in one morning it was very odd I never seemed to be able to make a dent in the numbers that made a big enough difference to the numbers so I just tried to keep on and on shooting them it was an odd micro population of high numbers I think

@AirRifleActivities 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, friend, magpies are strong and clever birds, and they travel in packs, hence the threat to avian diversity if their numbers go out of control in some area. Never miss a chance to get as many as I can. Usually when you get one, more come in and make a racket, which ends being their downfall 😉

Hey, bud. I tested those and I have an older video comparing their accuracy with the regular diabolo shaped pellets. You're right, the Polymags are not as accurate, and what I noticed is they tend to ricochet too much, and there are many hard surfaces on that permission of mine.

Are they over populating?

@AirRifleActivities 3 жыл бұрын

Their numbers explode if left unchecked. Watch some of my latest videos and you'll see what happens. Insane infestation.

Excellent shooting. I can only imagine what you would accomplish if you used a bipod.

@AirRifleActivities 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you, Louis 🙂 I have bipods, but when you shoot at an upward angle at those pigeons on the silos, sometimes a bipod is a hindrance...

Good video as usual but they could be made a lot more interesting and relevant if you talked about the gun, caliber and ammo you are using, and the approximate velocity if you know it. Thanks!

Thank you, Kirk 🙂 You know, I did this in previous videos of mine, and I keep thinking that regular viewers would find me saying that every time boring... But you're right, I'll start saying that more often. Of course I know the muzzle velocity, buddy 🙂 Right now I'll put a list of my gear in the description. Stay safe 👍

Do the pigeons often die on impact if the first shot isn't fatal?

@AirRifleActivities 3 жыл бұрын

I can't be sure, Matt, it depends on their weight, but these are rare occasions - we take into account the power setting of our guns before we take a shot at a certain distance, so that the kills are humane.

@duckydashcam751 3 жыл бұрын

I was just wandering as the sound of the impact sounds like it would do. Great videos anyway 🤙

This time it was just great. 👍👍👍 The stupid magpies were justly punished. 😁😁😁 Unfortunately, I don't understand English very well. I would like to know what speed the rifle is set to. I take it you're shooting a JSB 1,175 bullet?

Роман, я так понимаю, вы говорите по-русски, поэтому я использовал Google Translate, надеюсь, мои слова имеют смысл. Винтовка - это Edgun Matador R5M Standard калибра .25 или 6,35 мм. В этот видео использую JSB Exact King Heavies 2,2 грамма и стреляю из них со скоростью 252-253 м / сек. Спосибо, друг 👍

Yes, Terence, FAC as per laws in the UK. In this video the gun is set to shoot 34 grain pellets at an average of 830 fps which makes for about 51-52 fpe.

Your magpies are very dum! Here (Uk) if you shoot one the rest are nowhere to be seen. Also I just bought one of your cool looking T shirts

Above all, thanks for your purchase, Adrian 🙂 I appreciate the support! About the magpies - around here as soon as you shoot one of them, the rest come along and start making those alarming noises. But after I shot those 5, there were a couple left that left the scene as fast as they could 😉

Always hide the dead ones and just let one in sight as flat as possible with her wings deployed .Don’t shoot the first one who comes singing and calling the other ones . In 10 minutes , you’ll have 6 or 7 targets in front of you . Shoot , hide the dead ones and so on . I’ve killed 47 of them in 3 hours with this method .
