- .50 Cal Air Rifles For Hunting
On this episode of Fishing and Hunting Texas, Kevin Giesecke and Michael Wersig are hitting the field to test out the .50 Caliber Umarex Hammer on several exciting hunts!
To kick things off, Kevin and Michael settled into their makeshift ground blind in the early hours of the morning. As expected, the animals were moving around and it didn’t take long before both whitetails and aoudad appeared in front of them. For a long while, aoudads have been on Kevin’s hunting bucket list but the chance to take one never presented itself. As they sat patiently watching a large herd of aoudad form, a mature ewe was taking center stage and giving him a perfect shot opportunity. With a little more patience, the ewe turns broadside and Kevin is able to get a shot off on her!
Up next, Kevin steps behind the camera as he and Michael head out to another area of the property with the .50 Caliber Umarex Hammer in hand for an opportunity hunt. As Michael puts it, “Whatever walks out that’s either gonna give us meat or make a good hunt, that’s what we’re going for.” On this day, the sunrise was beautiful and the wind was blowing in their favor, setting them up for a perfect day of hunting. Plenty of does came out, even a couple nice young bucks, but as the day progressed they weren’t seeing much of anything else. As they began leaning more and more towards taking a doe, a large, dark figure started emerging from the brush line. To their surprise, it turned out to be a sika, and from that moment on their focus shifted to taking him. As with learning any new hunting platform, sometimes things don’t go according to plan, but that’s all part of the process of learning to hunt with an air rifle. See how Michael’s hunt turns out when he gets a shot off on this stunning animal.
As Michael and Kevin’s week-long hunting excursion continues, the weather shifts. What started out as nice, cool weather now has the guys toughing it out in the midst of a chilly cold front with gusty high winds. As Michael climbs high up in a tripod, he’s looking to fill the freezer once again. This time, it’s wild hogs that present themselves before Michael. He waits and waits for them to clear the brush line, and when they finally do, Michael gets a clean shot off on one of the hogs thanks to the deadly power of the .50 Caliber Umarex Hammer!
Up next, Kevin hands the camera back over to Michael as he sets out with the hopes of checking off yet another animal from his hunting bucket list: an aoudad ram. Just like we saw earlier, a large herd of aoudads forms, and then, it doesn’t take long before a massive aoudad ram shows up. Tune in and find out if Kevin will finally get an opportunity on this big guy!
With one last camera handoff, Michael sets out to wrap up this week-long hunting journey. Once again they were treated to a beautiful morning, with lots of does and a few small bucks, but it was otherwise rather slow. Not ones to give up on a spot, the guys decided to go back to the very same stand for an evening hunt to see if the odds had shifted in their favor. As the daylight began to fade into darkness, Michael was running out of legal shooting light when one of the nicest bucks he’d seen walks into frame. Tune in and see what will make Michael say, “Hunting with any platform… If you can have confidence in it that you can make an ethical shot, if it’s going to have the power to make an ethical kill… it’s a blast!”

I have had experiences that indicated slower is better for knock down. Seems that high velocity seems to stimulate their nervous system to trigger a great burst of dying energy that enables to exceed their normal boundaries!
Weight is more important to velocity for killing animals as it transfers the energy much faster and high velocity rounds often don't pass all their energy to the animal. It creates more shock and a larger wound cavity
Damn son.... I'm moving .... Now ! That's more fun than allowed ... Wee !
Hey come on out and enjoy. I have maintained a dual residence Phoenix summers and Prescott winters ... A proud heritage exists in the cowboy miner culture. I've worked the big Green Cattle Company called the hardest ranch in America. I rode with Ringo Bob McCoy... Taught me where we bury those rustlers when I was 13 .. very serious business . I'm just now looking at him all died up in a suit and bolo tie... It was Masonic initiation night ... Ringo killed more men than anyone ...er sumthin ..more than you and me's ate hamburgers . My nickname to the cowboys Louis Fonata. Gave me on K4... Safeway.... Hey Safeway come here. I'm seven feet and 325 in my boots and it just seemed appropriate. Now old Ralph Chapman went to Prescott 3 times in his life. Once for WW1.... Once for WW2 and once for his grand finale... A bottle of Jim Beam and a friendly lady.. he went with a smile on his face .. she didn't think it was funny.. so we packed. Old Ralph Chapman back to the ORO and put him where he wanted... Ringo's and Ralphs favorite saying was ... Get the rope bullets too expensive ...didn't think much of slackers and the generally confused that's for sure. No you have to deserve to live in Prescott Arizona...
That's PHX winters Prescott summers ha ha
Beautiful video but sad here in California you can't hunt with air rifles
Very nice hunt guys from South Carolina
Action! Might be ordering one soon 🙃
I bought one too, but as I said before in my hence erased comment... the deer can hear the high-pitched sound of compressed air leak-down.
I wonder how bad the sound is for this model
this video is the reason i went and got myself a hammer
700fps? Have you heard of AEA ?
Great shot. Congrats. Try an Airforce texan .50 or .457 and some lehigh defense airgun ammo..... absolutely amazing.
Thanks! Will give it a look
@@FISHINGHUNTINGTEXAS ola e possível enviar para o Brasil uma PCP no calibre desse?
@@mailsonsouza6465 It depends on your laws.
How many yrds out are you'll shooting? Will this airgun be reliable at 100yrds?
Aea all the way..fox pro baby.
I'm reading a lot about bad quality control with Umarex and bad customer service on Amazon. What is your experience? Any problems?
I talked to a guy he said his gun has no problems it works great he said don't listen to all the rumors on the internet. I got the aea 50 caliber Challenger Bullpup 4,500 PSI shooting 300 grain slugs.. the hammer may be stronger but my gun is way sexier and will take big game with no problem
The last buck was shot on the top of his back?
@@lindseyzacek5211 crazy shot.
I think this was the exit
How much dose the 50 cal cost to buy one
I just gave $899 in Arkansas
The first hunt in Texas; I’m not even going to try to spell it 😅. Did you end up eating the goat? How was it?
I want to see wat the air rifles look like
what is the effective and ideal range of the hammer ?
200 yards max
but more effective 75 yards to 100yrds
@@aliceinchainz3003 just what im looking for then shots up to 100 yds on deer sized game
well your old enuff to know...
never belive what ya hear ..
an only half of what ya see.
my gun works fine an i ve had it for 2 yrs..
sat for 5 months didnt loose any air.
max 200 yards super deadly at 100.
fact.
@@aliceinchainz3003 I'm happy you got a very nice gun.
The hammer it's a force to be reckoned with it pretty much takes whatever's in front of it and turns it to hamburger.. I have the aea Challenger Bullpup 50 cal 4,500 PSI good for 16 shots first five shots are good on big game animals it's a tech driver but the hammer has more power by far but I like the look of my gun and it works well for me... I don't even shoot over 50 yards to practice so I'll do well without 200 yards under my belt
26 minute commercial for an air rifle.
Why it so difficult in south Africa to get good hunting strong air gun in the country only useless air gun in south Africa shop's
The weapon does not work, or the shot is very misplaced. A good hunter, who deigns to be such, must cause the least suffering to the animal. There are many ways to test a weapon, but it is never done on a living thing. Compressed air is useless.
Not so. Proof in this video.
