Songbirds are protected. Why don’t you just punch holes in paper. I’m a hunter. I eat what I harvest and my sons learned the same. Unless it’s a varmint, let it be. Killing for the sake of killing is no sport.
I am not shooting songbirds. I am shooting exotic, introduced birds that kill and displace native songbirds. The US government classifies them as pest/problem species and no license is needed to shoot them.
Invasive exotic species are those introduced species which benefit from their new environment such that they increase their population range significantly over time. Invasive species are currently recognized as one of the main threats to global biodiversity. House Sparrows and European Starlings were both introduced to North America in the 19th century. They are now permanent residents found across the United States and Canada, almost always near areas of human habitation and disturbance (e.g., cities and suburbs) or areas with a reliable food source, such as barns or granaries. Both species nest in structures ranging from gutters and downspouts to thick shrubs and bushes, but readily use nest boxes when available. They outcompete native cavity-nesting birds, and are known to destroy nests and eggs, and kill nestlings and adults while taking over an occupied nest site.
Where did you go Ted? Give us another video please. Lol missing it man.
Do you eat groundhogs, possums, raccoons, skunks, gophers, chipmunks, mice, rats and coyotes too?!
I don't eat carp, suckers, dogfish or gar either but always I kill them when I catch them.
@@JohnDoeEagle1 please stop killing dogfish as they fight harder than almost any fresh water game fish, also they help keep lake free of dead rotting fish and bait. Also they are native which I assume you already know, but that’s just my two cents.
Correction: My Wildcat .22 is a MK3, not a MK2.
Clarification: I have made no changes to the factory settings.
Conundrum: What can you hold in your right hand, but not in your left?
Hi Ted!
"What can you hold in your right hand, but not in your left?"
Your left hand
Your left hand
Your left elbow
Would love to hear you compare the PARD with the 4k. I too was attracted to the form factor of the PARD but after hearing about its quirks from previous reviews, I’m waiting for the next generation of ATI.
Glad to see you back in action again. 🦅
I miss Ted acting like an enthusiastic 10yo... Great to see the renewed excitement.
I watched his videos again and went out and whacked 8 starlings that have nested in my neighbor's house because they kept crapping on my truck. Popped them out of a pear tree before any crybaby neighbors came outside in the morning at dawn. It was fun watching and hearing them thud as they hit the ground.
@@joefudd Lol🤦
Looking at the Benjamin trail 22 gas piston
Watched this vid n went to buy a wildcatt ..Always wanted one since the first mk1...Settled for a Maverick..no wildcats to buy spur of the moment...
Dudes property is like a safe haven for native birds. Honestly such a nice thing of him to do.
@@ammocan2796 same at my house lol
Meanwhile my neighbors are basically feeding the starlings and grackles and my best shooting lanes are from windows with screens that don't open
Same, everything except rare songbirds is gone the instant I so much as look out the window.
Couple of Starling's were uppity and managed to nest before I found out where they were (on my roof!!), wreaking absolute havoc all over the place.
Blasted the male to try and quiet things down, but no go, the female still had time to go apeshit on all the other birds, while feeding her chicks.
So that did it, simply waited until the 3 chicks were old enough to fly, sent a JSB Monster at the female (loud smack!), chicks got hungry and took first flight, offed 2 of them, the last one landed on the lawn below the nest and was instantly pounced by the cat lol!
And from the very instant those infernal things were gone, the other birds were happily nesting and chirping away again :D
@@blacklabelqlewis , mine didn't either, so I took it out. Then took out some burrowers.
@@ToreDL87 the good ending
Glad to see you back Ted! There's other airgun channels out there, but you started it all for me and I always look forward to your uploads!
You post what you like mate. Don't worry about us we like whatever you do. It's just fun watching you go about your business
Exactly. We watch because of your commitment and enthusiasm!
Honestly, I’d watch a video of you trying to hit a paper target in high winds.
You’ve taught me a lot when it comes to drop and distance.
Id love to see you challenge yourself in some heavy wind. I’d learn a lot too.
Watch his competition shooting videos. Nuff said.
Well come back, Ted! The best part of your videos was seing you smiling and giggling like a boy while sharing your discoveries and knowledge with us. Glad to see that boyish fun back!
I was literally looking up your channel yesterday, surprised to see a notification today, welcome back!
This is definitely the start to the day I was looking for, thanks for uploading the video we missed you!
I have to agree.. Its the fact of being on move, the sense of "adventure", covering some land that makes this exciting as you go when spot something that deserves some lead and you have to hurry and take your best shot, what many times fails, certainly more times than being stationary and knowing every range from that spot.. Glad you having fun again
I swear these videos totally bring me back to my youth of hunting on different properties with my old benjamin Sheridan 5mm pump. It's always been about the thrill of the hunt. We hunted anything that moved, lol. Thanks for the video.
I’ve always loved the content man! Grew up watching you!
Sup didn't expect u to be here😂
Yo what’s up Braydon!
Damn I just watched your video before this
What’s poppin
Hi verified person
Good to see you back! Way to find YOUR passion! More of us should follow your example.
Good to see you. ! Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks ! We all look at things with a different angle as we age . But all of us don’t take advantage of the chance to improve ourselves ! Thanks Ted , have a great summer. .
Glad you’re back ted, you’re one of my favourite content creators. Honest, hardworking and entertaining. Thank you for everything you do Ted.
I hope you're back soon with another vid. I've learned so much from you over the years and still have a huge thirst for the knowledge.
Well it’s nice to see you excited and smiling again, I know there are a few of us that has missed your videos
LOL" blended him into the soil". "yup hes gone, and so are you"! I love it.
Very happy to have you around more! I really missed your videos! Keep at it dude, you havent rid us of the starlings yet!
1:06 damn that’s a satisfying puff of pest feathers
Why are they pests?
@@nunosantiago2273 Invasive birds that kill native birds and steal their habitat
@@jawszy Sparrows?
@@nunosantiago2273 I'm not sure, he explains in other videos what birds they are.
@@nunosantiago2273
Yes, sparrows.
I've been waiting for videos for so long. I am so happy he's back. Can't wait to see more
Hes a uncle we all would love to have 🙏 glad to see you ted ❤️
Ted, you started it all for me 7-8 years ago. I've been obsessed with slinging lead pellets ever since. Stoked that you're back, bud!!! 🤩
I’ve had my Wildcat MK3 for a year now and I absolutely love it. Great to see you Ted, thanks for the video!
Lovely to see you back online, and hope you and the fam are holding up just fine through all the silliness of the last year or so
Awesome to see you back. Glad you took the break to come up with this rig and reinvigorated. Looking forward to seeing the new content
There's some unexpected good news for the day: more Teds HoldOver. Glad to see you back Ted. Even more glad you were able to find your passion again. Also, I would be very entertained watching a turkey shoot of starlings, kill'em all! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Woke up today to finally see another vid! He's back! glad you found your spark again. :)
So happy to see you go back to your roots, Ted. You were the one to get me into the pcp game. Do whatever makes you happy (so long as it involves making videos for us!)
I'm in my early 70's Ted. I started with airguns when I was about 7 years old and then rimfires, and finally centerfires. I also have ruined a few hobbies by working too hard on perfecting them. I had to have the best rifle, best scopes, benchrest dies, benchrest powder measures, etc. It became some much work, it was no longer fun. Although I still may take a few long distant trips to shoot p-dogs out west, I'd rather spend less time preparing ammo, rifles, and equipment and more time shooting sparrows and starlings locally. Grab my air tank, tin of pellets, my air rifle and go shoot. If I miss a shot because they are out of range, so be it. Other days I can be just as happy with a springer. As a kid my favorite bb gun was a daisy 99 Target. As I got into pellet guns I had a Crosman model 140 in 22. I still have those models but my eyes require optics now but I keep it as simple as I can. I no longer need perfect everything and just enjoy a fun day of shooting. Keep it simple Ted and don't ruin a fun hobby. I was happy to see you back a few weeks ago.
Now that's a bit of wisdom folks...
I'm so glad that you're back at it and that you're using pellets. I've learned the most from you and look forward to perhaps new knowledge with .22 pellets, hopefully maybe on .177 too.
Great to see you again on the tube Ted!
So glad to see you back!!! Also happy to see you reach for your wildcat as a favorite, I just picked one up because of watching your vids and remembering how much you like it.
I'm so glad to see you back on! You got me hooked on PCPs when I was a springer guy. I subscribed way back when and jumped on every new video you put out "in the day" hope all is well! I still use my many PCPs for pesting and look forward to each outing. Thank you for all your content that encouraged me to become better, Respectfully Duane
One of the reasons I look forward to your uploads. Glad you have come to some resolution to your quandary. It is not only something you have had to experience.
Love to see you smiling and happy again. Looking forward to seeing everything you put out.
Right on- glad to see you back. I too have great memories in the barn and sheds of our farms. I hope to get my 5 yo son involved at some point.
Love your videos. Been a fan a long time. You got me into loving not just shooting but understanding shooting. Please post your “turkey shooting”. I’m sure many would love to watch it too.
I truely missed your videos I am glad to see you back up and filming
I've been watching you for nearly a decade. I'm glad to see you enjoying yourself again!
for a while iv been struggled to raise the same level of joy I once had shooting and I didn't know why. But you hit it right on the head, iv become bored with high power, long range plinking. Thank you for waking me up and restarting my love for the sport.
Don't be to long before next vid.
That’s the position I am now in . Started reaching for the subby and adopting a bit of fieldcraft and it’s lovely !!!
Good to find this, and youve found you mojo Ted,
Been afew years since ive pulled a trigger but fond memories Airgunning and watching the early Edgun USA Vlogs
👍
Awesome to hear from you again! The new stalking rig looks pretty fun.
Speaking of spear fishing, I need to figure out how to train for that.
"Turkey shoot" on a barn full of starlings? Yes, please..... Welcome back, we missed ya!
The dude is back! Thanks Ted, I've been tuned in for like 9 years slow mo cold day squirrel hunting. Glad to hear from ya. Best wishes for whatever you're up to these days.
Thank you Ted I would love to see some of your barn videos I feel like a sponge soaking up the information that you give out about air guns
Absolutely interested in the starling shooting, and it's fantastic to hear the videos are coming back
Glad your back. Proper down to earth guy who does brilliant videos. Let’s see more.
I remember how much you went on about the Wildcat's ease of carry one handed, and so I knew immediately which gun was your favorite despite all the great abilities of you newer FXs. I also enjoy my longer rifles, but my .25 Wildcat MK II is my favorite and my " walkabout" rifle. Good to see you reconnected to your past!
You're such a nice humble guy and your channel has opened my mind regarding hunting/shooting/etc. To this day, I've never owned or shot anything -- not even a BB gun. In one week though, I will be closing on a 19-acre slice of heaven in VA with bluebird houses on the fence posts, swallow nests in the sheds and who-knows what else roaming the small pastures.... a life long dream come true. I love those little birds and want to keep the place starling/pest-free... your videos had me wanting to buy an air gun a few years ago but now you've provided me knowledge & motivation to actually make an informed decision so for that, I thank you Ted. Gotta find a big 'ol tractor now.... Peace!
Wow!! Congratulations! Tractor shopping is right up there with airgun shopping. 😊
I was 16 when I started watching you man... I'm now an engineer and fast approaching 30...eww. thanks for keeping up excellent content!!
Love the channel and really looking forward to the stalking footage! Thank you
You so right about the "go-to-gun". There are great guns out there, but is the simple, light, small ones that are the most enjoyable. Your correct about the stalking i love too!
Dude heck yeah! Glad to see you’re enjoying it again! Can’t wait for future episodes man
Not sure why but the "he's gone, and so are you" reminded me of the audio recorded by the old guy who shot the 2 teens that broke into his house.
I was always impressed how you captured everything before. I know it is a royal PITA. That setup looks much better. Your enthusiasm is what got me back into the sport.
I still have my Sheridan Blue Streak.
Purchased back in prob. 1973
Shot it through the years and had more fun with it then any center fire
Man it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a new video from you. I went through a phase where I was completely obsessed with air rifles and air rifle hunting and I watched every last one of your videos. I have recently just started getting back into it again and here you are with a new upload. It’s almost like I’m back in 2013
Man, so glad to see you again, I look forward to the new videos you have planned. That’s the perfect Airgun for my needs, I hope to purchase one when the money tree blooms.
TED WE HAVE MISSED YOUR MUG ON UA-cam 🤪 its so good to see you back shooting and shooting great with that amazing Rifle , its good to see your excitement back ☺ keep safe brother 🙏🙏🙏🙏
So happy you found your joy, again, Ted! Woohoo!!!!!
Spot!!!! And!!!! Stalk!!!!
Nice to see you back! Great story and I totally get it. You got me into the PCP hobby many years ago. I ended up with a .25 Marauder that I still use today for “pest” control. We have two red tail hawks that show up within seconds of hearing my air rifle go off. They usually get a good meal from the starlings they find. Thanks for the video!!!
Ted is back?! Aw man I missed you! Love to see you back even though I know it's hard to do in this kind of environment on youtube.
Love ya!
Welcome back Ted! I’m on the same personal healing journey as you have been. Hope you are feeling restored.
Hooray! So glad to see you back sir! Great video - liked the mix of both shooting and talking.
Welcome back! Great to see you excited again, and can't wait to see some footage of you stalking with that tricked out rig~
OMG....feels like I have come across a long lost friend!! Didn't realize I was missing your videos until I got this notifications.
Make sure you watch a bunch so yt will keep showing them to you without searching
@@blacklabelqlewis Good point.
Glad you're back bud! Please take us along for a night of starling massacre.
I want to see this show too. Waiting patiently.
Glad to see you back Ted, got ya mojo back 😃 Great new set up and idea taking us with you on the farm stalk, I’m digging it 👍
Your still my favorite airgun youtuber and so glad to see you back enjoying it again. Can't wait to see some farm vids
Good to see you back. Remember it’s the hunt that is fun. Long range sniping is impressive but stalking and truly hunting is what makes it fun.
Good to see a video from you again. Still love watching your older videos. Also I hate starlings so would enjoy seeing a night shoot.
Love it Ted, your enthusiasm brought us all here and makes us stay.
Nice to see you back in action with a freshly found potion of intrinsic motivation! ;)
TEDDY!!! Glad to have you back brother, recharged and ready to go!
Good to see you back, you do what you want to do. I don't care if it's drinking a beer I'll watch.
Glad to see you found your zing factor again. I've been through the same the last 2 years and haven't competed in just as long. Picked up the Chaser/CP2 and went ratting. That waiting and stalking changes the game. Hope to see many more videos uploaded.
I miss your old videos like this glad to see you happy
It looks like you've found your enthusiasm again Ted. Welcome back. We've missed you.
Yes we would like to see the turkey shoot 😂
Missed you man, glad you're back!
Glad to see you're still making videos. Your videos are what I used to get my friends started in air guns. I've been a fan for years.
Missed you Ted. Your the one that got us all hot and heavy about Airguns
Agree. 😁
Ted, record the way that makes you happiest, your truest viewers will enjoy the content knowing you had a blast doing it. Who cares about what gets more views from randos if you're doing this more for the love of it than for the money. Glad to see you back and excited!
Man I’m so glad to see you back to when I first started watching you years ago🤟 I wanna see a turkey shoot of starlings at night duh
Welcome back, Ted! Excited to see new videos in the near future from you!
Glad you're back. I missed the caffeinated elf of airguns. Keep doing what you love, and throw us a vid now and then. One genuinely excited vid is priceless. You don't need to be perfect, just genuine.

Good to see one of the UA-cam airgun gods using a stock rifle, that hasn’t been internally modified. The current trend seems to be spending hundreds and hundreds on a new barrel or liner or power plenum or modified hammer, etc etc every month…. and using super secret unavailable slugs, and shooting at locations, distances and quarry that the average poor hobbyist would only dream of. Ted, there are probably thousands of airgun shooters who owe the interest in this hobby/sport to you, and your Matador or Leshiy; or winning the competitions out west, and following your starling and other exploits at the range and field with your once weekly videos. (Yeah, it’s a long, run-on sentence. I know, but so what!). So for what its worth….good to see your smilin’ face and hear your technical knowledge and showing us once again, what works at normal distances and why!! The unwashed masses look forward to your next video!!
Glad to see you find your passion for the sport again.
Welcome back, we missed you too. Looking forward to the stalking videos. Bring on the turkey shoot, too. Nice that you mention “the whiskey boys”, love those guys, too. 👍
It's wonderful that you found joy with this again, Ted! I am looking forward to the new footage, it's new and different. Richard Leonard (Air Arms TV) captures that same spirit of staking and wonder of beautiful animals and locations. Personally, I tuned out from the endless killing of pests, and I have no use case for long range shooting with slugs which a lot of channels started doing. Frankly, I also got tired of the endless FX marketing.
Glad to see you back. Love me some sparrow and starling pellet parties.
It's not the kill....It's the thrill of the chase!
Firm reference. Nice.
Love your work and missed your skills. Glad to see you reliving your youth. It reminds all of us BB gun bandit kids of our youth with the gear we all wanted and dreamed of as a kid. ‘👍🏼
dude!!! I am so glad to see you still make videos. I am 26 now, I grew up watching your videos when I was 13, inspired me to make my own scope cam and I would walk around the woods and I learned to identify starlings, I would dream of one day learning to edit videos and getting a go pro and a fancy pellet gun, I was using a Gamo Big Cat. So happy to see you’re still making videos! You happy can-do attitude is something I remembered after all these years, your channel popped into my head and I went and searched you up. Prayers for good health for you and your family!
Would absolutely love to see night lazering starlings.
for decades i follow this dude & he aged smoothly, 4eva entertaining!
Love the quote from "Cool Hand Luke" at the end. Great to see you back, Ted!
Awesome vid, so glad to have you back posting. I watch every single vid you make. I for one would like to see at least one night hunt. When I was a kid, I night hunted sparrows & pigeons. Your vids are a big nostalgia for me. Thank you, and keep them coming.
Looks like you’ve already filmed several videos. Looking forward to seeing them Ted!
