    Not a bad bag considering the conditions. Those Magpies looked like young birds, old ones would have gone at the first shot. Great video, always enjoy your content.

    Hi David, great entertainment as always. Even with the blasted wind, you still ended up with ( by my standards) a cracking bag of meat. Keep the good work mate. Looking forward to the next one.

    I absolutely love decoying with the air rifle. I watched a load of your videos and got the bushwear hide and can now happily take 10+ woodies per session. Thanks for such helpful videos. I'd love to see more on carrion crows and how to decoy those as I struggle to get them to land.

      Thanks very much glad you found the videos so useful and hopefully i'll get out after the hooded crows with the air rifle soon, but you could check out my other channel Nitro HV for some hooded crow action with a .17 Hornet.

    Hi David. Absolutely love your content/commentary. I do a good bit of varmint hunting (mainly squirrels and crows) in east Tennessee. I'd very much like to see how you make your bird cradles out of wire for decoys. Do you have a video on how to make them? Thank you again for the great videos David - we're big fans of your work here in east Tennessee!

    Looking at the grass, the wind was changing direction and so missed shots are explainable. Perhaps a piece of natural looking dark green/buff brown garden hemp twine stuck into a notch at the top of your stick would help as an indicator.

    • @HuntersVermin
      @HuntersVermin  Рік тому

      I started the day with some grass in that notch but it wasn't long till the wind had blown it away, twine would have been better.

    Great video. Just a thought for you about the wind.
    If you look at it like a clock face and 12 o’clock is straight ahead and the wind was coming from about 8 o’clock pushing you to the right. The angle will change if you are shooting to your left or right (say aiming 10 o’clock or 2 o’clock). So shooting towards 2 o’clock you will almost have only a tail wind and aiming at 10 o’clock you will have full value and obviously need more hold. See what I mean.
    You will need 3 sticks next time you go out in the wind.
    We are over run with Magpies- keep it up.

    • @HuntersVermin
      @HuntersVermin  Рік тому

      Yes i see what you mean and it would explain a lot too. If i mind right the wind was coming from behind and the left with the hedge sheltering me as the wind was blowing strongly in the field but hardly moving the hide.

    • @HuntersVermin
      @HuntersVermin  Рік тому

      My 30ft/lb + FX crown would have been a better chose but the 22 rim fire might have been a bit much for shots at 10 to 20 yards, though i would like to try decoying pigeons to the rim fire some time if i ever get land suitable for it.

    Great little hide you have there!
    Could you show more inside the hide how you have the rifle and rest and of outside the hide when you have the gun sticking through.
    A vid of how you make your bird cradles would be good, the size of wire you use too would be handy. It makes them look more alive and I would like to make some!

    Crackin video - I really appreciate the fact you show all your shots - they show the reality of field work, plus you absolutely nailed it at the end... Well done for persevering, what with it being so windy and running out of air, some may have called it a day much earlier. I often wonder how long you're shooting for to get such good numbers? Any chance you'll let us behind the 4th wall? 😆
    Cheers!

  • @peterk1948
    @peterk1948 Рік тому

    One of the tricks I was told when shooting with a tricky cross wind is to aim at the left hand edge of the kill zone when the wind is from left to right, as in your case. If you hadn't noticed that the wind had dropped a bit you are still in the kill zone but I expect you know this trick. As always another most enjoyable video.

    • @HuntersVermin
      @HuntersVermin  Рік тому

      It is good advice, i just couldn't understand why i could hit my range marker stick at 30 yards in the wind yet struggle to hit birds at 20 yards or so.
