I’d suggest Craigslist and find a used gitzo or similar photo tripod. They are bombproof and last forever if not abused. Some good deals out there and rock stable.

Even at a clean farm there must be a ton of food for them. I’m surprised it’s not crawling with foxes given how much food there is for them. You must have made a decent dent if there were half as many too shoot the second time. A few more weeks like that and you’d probably knock them back in a...

Wow, that is an incredible shot with an air rifle on a small target!

Nice shooting. That’s a heck of an infestation!

Way better having a good forecast and when you get out in the field it’s worse than predicted than when they predict horrible weather so you stay home and then it turns out to be perfect hunting weather. Always good to get out.

It’s amazing to think back to just a few years ago and how insanely better 3D printing has become. Very nice work

That’s very cool. We have occasional black squirrels here, rare enough that if you get one you think about getting it mounted. But even the ones we have here aren’t nearly that shiny ebony black. Really pretty squirrel.

I was surprised too, but he caught it on camera (common red tailed hawk). The only thing I can think is the sheer number of easy targets in a confined space made it kill with abandon. Hard to imagine it doing that with wild prey.

I had a friend with a similar situation, was sure it was a weasel, turned out it was a hawk. If there were walls on the coop but no roof I’d bet it was a hawk. Just because something took the bodies the next night doesn’t mean anything, plenty of scavengers around. Who cares what ate them once...

With them expanding so readily do you ever see failure to penetrate on longer shots?

That’s a good looking rifle and nice shooting!
