I finally got to shoot starlings at night inside a barn with my night vision setup. I always watched and envied others with their shooting videos. The night vision scope is such a valuable tool to have as it is easy to spot and shoot them starlings in the dark. Easy picking and effective for pests removal.

I was using my HW100T .22 calibre shooting the AA 16 gr and I also tried the JSB Hades 16gr as well. Both ammo are effective but the Hades seem to hit a lot harder at the same distances. However, the Hades is not as reliable and accurate in my guns at longer distances. But inside the barn within 30 yards, they are very good.

Hope you enjoy this as this is my #100 episode.

Cheers

I enjoyed this one. Good variety. The rats seem like they may catch on that they’re safe if they stick close to the cows. I hadn’t thought about it before, but rats urinating and defecating on the cow feed is nasty, especially for milk cows. I think you’re providing a necessary service. The starlings behaved just as I anticipated they would when you lit into them. Way to clear em out! Nice shooting. 
 
@Ezana4CE. Thank you. ya the rats are pretty smart and they learned pretty quick where danger spots are. They make a mess thats for sure so farmer is very happy I am tagging them as many as I could. I went back last night and too bad there were no new batch of starlings roosting there. Hopefully soon another flock will make that place home. Thanks for watching.
