    @DualMagMike I’ve seen some collections in my day, but this one takes the cake! No BSA love?

    Is it me or does this also make you cringe a bit?

    Thanks Ricklin, glad were on the same page.

    Is it me or does this also make you cringe a bit?

    I get where you’re coming from, especially with coyotes causing havoc with livestock. It must be distressing to see that up close—it certainly colours your opinion. However, I’d like to point out that you don’t know what I’ve witnessed or dealt with. Assuming I’ve just been sitting idly by while...

    Should we not need to hold ourselves to higher standards than just persistence?

    Is it me or does this also make you cringe a bit?

    Not really knowing your DOPE and shooting at a moving target, hoping something will hit… somewhere… Nice video though, and I do appreciate the efforts put into it. It’s probably just me, but made me cringe.

    It’s always a good idea to give the barrel a clean to get rid of any potential preservation gunk. Use a pull-through system with Balistol and avoid powder burner cleaning kits, metal brushes, or anything too harsh. Aside from that, have a few different types of pellets on hand to see what your...

    What do you do with the quarry you’ve taken down?

    I’m sure you’ve got some tricks, but squirrel doesn’t have me rushing to the kitchen—a lot of effort for little, stringy meat. Prolly haven't tried the right recipe. For the groundhogs, do you think burying them might be an option? I can’t imagine the recycling plant is thrilled with them...

    Sounds like you've got quite the arrangement with the local feline patrol!

    What do you do with the quarry you’ve taken down?

    So, you sell them off to a company that processes the iguanas? Interesting. I’d love to know what happens next—how they handle them, what they’re used for, and what the whole process looks like. Must be quite the operation.

    I dun been robbed!

    I’m in the UK, and yep, that’s illegal—6 months in jail and a fine. Most raptor killings happen on gamebird shoot land, where they’re seen as threats. A dead raptor costs nothing, a dead pheasant’s worth 40 quid. Game bird shooting is very popular here and many farmers lease their land for it...

    I dun been robbed!

    There’s a big female sparrowhawk on one of my permissions I’ve named Dash, as she’s often dashing off with a squirrel in her talons. She’s a strong one—I've seen her lift woodpigeons and even rabbit kits, something a male sparrowhawk couldn’t manage. I’ve grown quite fond of her. I’ve also got a...

    HW/Weihrauch Weihrauch HW97 K with 0.25 pellets?

    A .25 springer, even within sub-12 limits, can be astonishingly accurate and hits like a freight train. Back in the day, when my old man was a lad, .25 was the calibre of choice, and the country blokes would pick off quarry at outrageous distances. Sure, the trajectory’s a bit of a rainbow, but...

    HW/Weihrauch Weihrauch HW97 K with 0.25 pellets?

    Personally, I would choose the HW80 over the HW97K in .25 caliber. The HW95 is also a great option, and the Cometa 400 Fenix is worth considering as well.

    Not to knock the seller, but for those second-hand prices, you’d be better off buying a brand new one—with return rights and warranty to boot. Krale’s got them for just $250 plus shipping. Yes, they’re based in the Netherlands, but they ship to the US faster than you’d think—about 2-3 days...
