Grackle, starling, blackbird, pigeon, and woodchuck video

[pcparmy]

Hi all,

This video is by far my best yet. Taking cues from folks like Bob and the others I am really starting to enjoy the video making process itself, Beyond just the hunting . Hopefully you will enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it . I will continue to pursue the next level videos that Matt, Bob and air hunters are putting out

Well done. Looking forward to the next installment. Are you shooting 36 gr .25cal slugs?

 

[pcparmy]

Great thanks golfer.

Yessir, we are shooting 36 grain nsa slugs out of our 25 cals. Tuned to 840 fps.

Epic video!! Some fine shooting there!

Only thing I can suggest right now to make the video better is to enlarge the scope view.

Do you have a depredation permit for the grackles?

Nice job! Bob O makes it looks easy doesn't he? There is a lot of work to be done after a day of pulling the trigger to get a quality video. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it a lot.

Do you have a depredation permit for the grackles?

Md,

At least in my state, no permit is needed. There is a standing order that allows them to be shot when committing or about to commit depredation.

Thanks guys, so right the work begins after the trigger squeeze.

Md, bob o is correct. No permit needed on a farm where they are damaging my feed stores and posing a sanitation issue. You must first try non lethal methods. They did not respond to flagging. Now they get blistered.



Bob, if i zoom anymore i lose the top and bottom of the scope Do you mean just concentrate on the crosshairs? Or use your style of video voodoo to resize somehow in the frame?

 

[Bob_O]

You can zoom during editing if your software will allow it. Yes it will cut off the top and bottom of the scope view, but the target will be larger for the viewer. Granted you will lose some resolution when zoomed in post, but personally I think it's worth it.

Roger that, thanks Bob. Ill try it out next video. Lots to learn but fun! Really Appreciate your open help!

No problem buddy.........looking forward to more of your vids!
