    Man it’s weird to watch these videos after not seeing your channel for years, I remember as a kid maybe 14 your videos got me into air guns and I got a little 120$ gamo break barrel .17 with a scope and started getting really into squirrel hunting and pest control for farmers! Hope you start posting more, maybe I’ll dust off the old gamo haha.

      Hey man, I'm in the same boat. Im in my twenties now and I have a .25 marauder that just sits... I would love to break it out and help with pest control! I never did do that for farmers when I was a kid tho, could you tell me how you got into that and how it went? I'd like to do it but I dont know any farmers and don't know where to start :/ it would be awesome if you reply! Thanks

    I realized after uploading that it may not be entirely obvious how I broke my WildCat. I left it on the bed, resting upright on the bipod when I went outside to gather up the dead starlings. While I was out, the mattress gave way from the weight of the gun, and the WildCat tipped over and rolled off the bed on to the floor. That is why I called myself “stupid.” 🥴 I should have laid the gun on its side.

    There was a feral cat around my house who would hide in the bushes and whenever I shot a house sparrow under the bird feeder, she would dash out and grab it and take off. She was my retriever cat. I would occasionally put the sparrows and starlings on the corner of the driveway and at night the feral cats would pick up the sparrows but never touch the starlings.

    @tarrapeel1833 3 роки тому

    In Australia we get Starlings and Sparrows but not on my property. The big problem feral bird is the Indian Mynah. They bully the native birds and get the best nesting sites. Adults are almost always seen in pairs most of the year. The trick is to nail the first one and then patiently wait for the mate to come back and see why their partner is lying on the ground. Young ones often hang around in flocks and because they to have some loyalty to the group you can sometimes get 3 or 4 before they realise that their friends are dying. The big thing is don't miss. If they see you with the gun after you have missed them they learn and every time they see you with the gun off they fly. Drive past them on the ride on or in the car and you can get close to them. Have something long and black in your hands and they are gone as soon as you open the door.

    A question didn't you get the WC with different power after tightening the two screws? It makes a difference because the pellet probe is a little further forward or further back from the transfer port hole. Another thing that prevents the pcp from being able to arm is the trigger that is too light. It also can't arm.
