This house sparrow got on the wrong side of the FX Maverick VP .30cal slinging FX Hybrid Slugs. I don't think he even knew he was dead.
This is my entire yard, and there is no back yard and I can barely even throw a rock without hitting someone else's home.That’sa magic trick, it disappeared!
@estarkey7: you don’t have a private yard at all? I know it’s not you style but if you have some private area a feed station out of view with a 3 fpe target pistol might do the trick.
I was thinking about baiting with birdseed so I can get them at the base of my red maple. I can also shoot from concealment of my wrap around porch.@estarkey7, looks like a no win shooting situation in your yard. Those shystie sparrows figured the closer to you they get the safer they're be. Maybe you can use other non airgun remedies? Seems like a Crosman 1701p could rid you of that sparrow problem once proper shot angles and backstops are in place. Very low power, but plenty for sparrows out to 20 yards... Dead or dying sparrows in that yard might attract attention though, tough situation. You also might just go after them at night.
There are ordinances for front yard fences here, and I don't quite like the look.Also can you fence off your lot? Would open up some low power shooting opportunities...
I've been looking at some rural property so I can set up a small game hunting camp.To many angles to cause damage to someone !!!
In there I would only use a. 177, not at maximum power and with all kind of care. And at the apropriate time, move to a more rural area in order to be able to shoot all around.
If you have the chance, do it!I was thinking about baiting with birdseed so I can get them at the base of my red maple. I can also shoot from concealment of my wrap around porch.
