Title: Garbage Pests
Post by: wolverine on January 31, 2022, 05:55:49 PM
every week after the garbage truck goes through the neighborhood, there is trash about.  there area is constantly under attack from high winds.  because of the trash, the field across the street is occupied by gulls and crows.  occasionally we find some garbage pests in our yard.  today i decided to rectify it with a .177 Polymag traveling 977fps.


i must warn you, this kill bleeds out rather messy.

He looks like he's still breathing...
I would have taken a follow up shot. :)

Nice shooting! :)

I hate when those "pests" persist on hanging out  :)  Good shot!

PS.
No hunting or animals involved.  Moving to the AG gate.

Since it was white I'm assuming it was a gull.  I don't believe I'd advertise I was shooting gulls, though it seems a fine idea.  I think they're federally protected for some insane reason.

Oh my !!!   I just thought of a solution for Paul (aka rat sniper's) stray cat problem.... screaming yellow spray paint can... well shaken. Hopefully the cat will roll all around in the neighbor's garage before the paint dries.....  8)

Well done.  I had a good time laughing at myself for being sucked in.
