 Good shooting on the G-Hogs Martin! Me I just been too worn down to do much shooting by the end of the hot days here, mainly too tired to take and post my dead pest pics as of late LOL

Nice job Martin!  I seem to have run out of Ghogs this summer  :)  I 've confirmed with the neighbor that there is 1 possibly 2 Ghogs a couple of houses down, but they haven't attempted to venture to my property yet that I know of. 

I did get 2 Starlings the last couple of days with the Gauntlet .22 and the Maurader pistol (Prod) .22.  I haven't bothered the Starlings much so far this Spring or summer (because I want them to come to the bait station this winter) they have been landing closer to the house and seem to let their guard down.  But like James said I don't bother taking pics of a Starling or a HOSP here and there and especially when it's hot out.  In the winter when I get 5 or 6 Starlings within 1 or 2 hours after a snow storm or a very cold spell, I will be posting some of them.

buddyb:
Great work on the ghogs. Do you eat any of them?

 Buddyb , As for eating g-hogs , no , the grocery stores are a lot easier to get meat on the plate !! I have eaten them as a young man. Now they are just free meals for the Eagles , vultures & coyote.
 Harry , I feel the same about pics & tallies of pest birds , I gather up sparrows if I can , same w/ pigeons , & give them to the farm cats . Starlings go to the compost /manure pile ,cats won't eat them. 
 James , If not for retirement I doubt I'd have the numbers I have. I do a bit of driving over all the farms for scouting. When I get a line/timing on the g-hogs ,
 I set up a sniping spot and out comes one of my folding stools ,shooting sticks ,snacks & drinks ,depending on how long I will sit. At times these old bones tell me when they've had enough!
