OK got it more male dead sparrows

Had to go to El Paso for a few days came back and I can not believe all the male sparrows , The past couple weeks I have shot a hundred male sparrows easy, I am sure the ones I am shooting now are not from my area and are not aware of the shooter at the table . WOW, Now there are a lot of hens...

Them things will clean your lizards out, Your snakes any nesting birds will be eaten eggs, baby birds, Thy are on my most hated bird list.. You can keep them in your state, I think there N.M state bird , Glad I am in Texas. Mike

NO

I know you can, But I passed up a super deal on a Cricket B/P 177 because it was in P R , If something goes wrong it can be a legal nightmare . been there done that not with guns but live animals, Trained police dogs. Mike

Its working better that I thought it would, I did take a hen out with a double shot but other than that all male sparrows, The new males coming in are dumber than rocks , Took about an hour to shoot these males , Some I could not find because of the thick bushes ,,Now there are a lot more...

Better watch it, eight years ago a squirrel showed up in my yard and I put feed and water out for him hoping he would reproduce and I would have many many squirrels in my yard, Well didn't turn out very good, I get up to three of four , and that's the most and there my pets now, I hand feed them...

Just not sure were to post this, But when I was a kid 50 years ago there were H/T everywhere, Now I might see one or two a summer, Not sure you can see it , But tell me if its rare in your area?

I so wanted to get into Falconry , Everything I read and every thing I looked into in my younger years is its a very time consuming sport . But I think its a very cool sport, Wish there was someone near me to show me a hunt, I would supply the pigeon ,,, Mike

Still sticking to the male only shooting of the sparrows , A few today before the high winds hit, So far about 30 males this past week, The new males comming in are pretty stupid and not wise to my shooting,,

177 is plenty big for sparrows, I think the 22 is over kill on sparrows, But I have shot a few with my 30 caliber to see what it would do,, Sparrows do not die any faster with a 30 caliber pellet or slug!!! The 177 does make the best POP, The wadcutter is the king of sparrow pops , Trust me I...

If you haven't shot a 177 in a long time or not at all, You may fall in love with the little piece of lead, My shot count is a little over 500 with my Uragan 177. I know them guys over the big pond like the 177 and can make a barrel that the 177 is super accurate My next 177 will be a Brocock. Mike

Replacing the 0ring on the barrel cured my puff of air in my face on my RTI 2 www.oringsand more.com Part # 12x1.5mm BUNA 90 0rings QTY# 25 Mike

I make my own with a good back stop, In the winter I keep a big block of feed for them, The paper target is just my sight in for the day, Yes I was shooting the numbers going across 48 yards Mike

There protected here in Texas BUT............. I always shoot in self defence , Them birds are big in TEXAS. Mike
