The resolution on that video seemed much clearer to me than the others. Nice shooting too, btw!

Wow Bob you were really popping those birds big time. Either you have great sound recording or the slugs you are using are really doing a number. Details needed. Bill

A friend has my scope cam so I'm just filming with a Sony WX500.....the sound captured by it is super accurate......the pop is really that loud and crisp.
30gr VK FBHP slugs at 900fps. All those shots were 30 to 91 yds.

Smack down! You were wrecking those pests, good shooting. Looks like a target rich environment.

I was sorta expecting Bob to nail one in flight 
. I do some if this and it’s interesting. The pigeons very quickly learn what’s up. I’m convinced they recognize my car. The stealthier you can be the better. I like to shoot when the farmer is running equipment that almost completely covers the sound and if you can get hidden where they can’t see you even better. I typically shoot off them off the concrete silos and they will learn to land on the back side where I can’t get to them. You definitely can hear the pellet hit. Some of them fly off too.

They definitely recognize my cars, and so do the starlings. It amuses as I drive around the farm, the Robins, killdeers, mockingbirds, grackles, crows and redwing blackbirds ignore me, as I don’t shoot them, but the pigeons and starlings bolt. I told my friend and he didn’t believe me. So I took him with me he was amazed.
Check that not the killdeers, they raise hell whenever they see me.

They certainly do recognize cars! I had to borrow peoples cars in the 80's to clear out a pidgeon problem. An FWB124D with a 2.5x SS-1 cleared out an entire flock that had been living in a Convent's roof for decades. Fun times, and their cat loved me.
Great video, a nice change from scope view!
