Crushin' Prairie Dogs
@kapok6 thats an unexpected answer but a great way to feed those birds.
Thanks for the explanation.
Keep up the good work.
I was culling the indigenous prairie dog population on the ranch today but the range was 150yds+ using powder burners, the hawks were circling before we left.
I have a .22lr I built that is a ton of fun and accurate but I don't use it for anything I am feeding my hawks. Powder burners have more energy, causing the projectiles to fragment to a far greater extent than air rifles at half the energy. Raptors are highly susceptible to lead poisoning. A few milligrams of lead will kill a hawk, so for me personally, I don't even risk using a powder burner for anything I intend to feed to my hawks. I really look forward to the day where accurate lead free slugs are available.
