I think that might see some use around here. And, odds are I can even get one in my kommunist state.

Still making slight inroads here. Another one bit the dust this morning.

Rossi 410. I thunk they call it the turkey model. It's my barn gun...
Thanks huntsman,
I'll look into one.

Still can’t believe Rossi puts a manual safety on a break gun with a hammer. Oh well probably lawyers were involved. Keep up the good work. I like the reflex sight on it. First one I have seen set up like that
Two more yesterday. Busy qualifying for permit today, so no pellet gun time.
huntsman, what size shot you use in that .410?

I need to buy me a good pellet gun. Haven’t had one since the Benjamin pump I had as a kid. What do y’all recommend ? My LGS doesn’t stock a decent variety. All they have are those full auto B.B. guns.

This is going to open up a wide field of accurate, withering fire upon the enemy especially those shy Starlings that perch in the top of the trees. The brown suet feeder, mounted so that I have a clear body shot on Starlings feeding from either side, is their favorite feeding station. I also have a suet log, to the left, that they like. Often, they will drop to the ground to feed on the crumbs. This Caldwell Pistolero allows me to adjust my barrel up or down, so I can hit them on the ground and in the top of the trees, and anywhere in between. The brick post, on my back porch, provides cover.

Here is my latest Starling eliminator. This thing is really accurate. 10 pumps and 600fps is plenty, even to the tree tops in my back yard. When I get the cross hairs on 'em and get a good squeeze on the trigger, it is sudden death and a long fall to the ground for those black pirates.

Result from my morning coffee break on the back porch, overlooking my suet feeders. Two Common Grackles fell on the other side of the fence, where the possums clean up every night. I shoot off a Caldwell rest, and this little pistol shoots dime size groups at 20 yards.

OK I gotta show off my new Buck-Rail silencer for my Crosman 1377. For you suburbanites, who may be concerned about the retort, from your pellet pistol. frightening the horses next door, this thing turn it into whisper quiet. $25 and worth it.

Rarely coming around my place for the last couple of weeks. Must have all found less perilous nesting and feeding sites.

That is awesome!
Figures don't lie, But Liars figure Assumption is the mother of mistakes
I am doing my part, on a daily basis, to rid my yard of those nasty, but wary Starlings. I have now officially added The Brown Headed Cowbird to the list of targets. They are not nearly as wary as Starlings and are starting to flood my yard and feeders, so I started taking them out today after reading this blurb on the Audubon website . . . "Centuries ago this bird probably followed bison herds on the Great Plains, feeding on insects flushed from the grass by the grazers. Today it follows cattle, and occurs abundantly from coast to coast. Its spread has represented bad news for other songbirds: Cowbirds lay their eggs in nests of other birds. Heavy parasitism by cowbirds has pushed some species to the status of "endangered" and has probably hurt populations of some others.
I have seen all of these Cowbirds in my back yard over the years, and did not know what the Juvenile and newborn's were. I am not shooting the Redwing Blackbirds nor the Common Grackles because they do not rob nests. The Redwing Blackbirds nest in marshes and eat insects and grubs from your lawn. They are also known to kill Sparrows. The Grackles nest in flocks and do not molest songbird nests. I have found that Redwing Blackbirds and Grackles provide attractive live decoys for Starlings and Brown Headed Cowbirds. Provides a false sense of security to those wary Starlings.
