Fly hunting season fully underway

[davelarson]

I set up a bait station and had a fun shooting session sniping flys at 15 yards with the HW44 .177, a good afternoon break!

You can see eggs in some of them, or eggs that “were” in them lol.

Great shooting!

I thought I was pretty immune to pictures in the hunting section. I stand corrected!

Dang you must be growing them big, are they blow flys lol

A fly landed on my target board one day at 25 yards. Its last day.

Of course they are blow flies you can see them blown all over the target. That's some good shooting there.

It’s a really fun shooting session to hunt flys. Here’s pictures of a long distance hunt, 40 yards using my Rapid .20 cal. lol! Edit: I know, sick old man lol!

I am going to have to give this game a try, Dave! Thanks for the idea.

What’s the bait u used?

 

[rsfrid]

That's just sick — funny, but sick!

 

[davelarson]

Pieces of raw chicken and a little canned cat food is the bait. I put it in holes torn in the paper so the flys land on the paper. It gives you a beautiful blank canvas to create your work of art! 
Nothing like a squirrel carcass to bring in the flys though, and the orange and black carrion beetles show up fast too. 
And as the yellow jackets start coming on in summer a chunk of chicken works great as bait, you can get hundreds of them and it’s fun too.

Priceless! Definitely worth the admission. True meaning of splatter targets.

I had truly arrived when I vaporized my first fly at 30 yards, cheap thrills.
