Grackle Control #2

[brainards11]

Whether you dislike or like the grackles...they are illegal to kill. Federally protected! Now, you can shoot Starlings and European sparrows.

[kuhbauer1000]

Whats the Song???

[juanbau172]

nice shooting I have been trying to get rid of them at my house but I only have a crosman 2100 but there are like at least 100 of them between my house and my neighbors

[whisperweed]

There is no reason NOT to shoot those stinking grackles!

[iPlaymeta1]

Ive killed over 30 grackles with my rws 350 magnum. I shoot from back in the room through a hole I cut out of my screen. Built a suppressor for it too. I shot one and the other didn't even notice. I use crosman Destroyers in .177

[deerhunter7771]

i love shooting those things! they're all around my house along with starlings. i use a gamo whisper .177

[deerhunter7771]

i love shooting those things! they are all around my house and with starlings alsoo they're soo fun

[PassionForTheOutdoor]

Amazing video my favorite out of all of yours!

[BENJItrailNPxL1100]

at 0:30 seconds, perfect timing

[chiz525xc]

Haha right on. Most of my childhood consisted of hunting grackles and other birds with pellet rifles, gotta love it :D Good shooting as well!

[NCAstronut]

We call them black birds.

[BENJItrailNPxL1100]

@NCAstronut grackles are a species of black birds

[SMITHY2010LS9]

thank god im a country boy

[BENJItrailNPxL1100]

@SMITHY2010LS9 hellz ya!

[alucardgrindcore]

ever think about adding a tko shroud? i put a 6.5" on my custom 2240 and man that gun is silent now. idk if you would need it but im going to add one to the disco im ordering .

[baseballbmxer]

i saw a cow bird in there too, theri the ones that look exactly like grakcles but a brown greyish head and neck, all i use is a 66 pumpmaster and some hollow point pellets and they get the job done while my gamo big cat is in wisconsin

[Jagandz12]

hey could a crosman recruit kill one of these? 680fps wit bb and 645fps with pellet. it kills squirrels but r these tuffer?

[hockeyking61396]

@Jagandz12 if you get it in the neck of chest it will

but watchout i have the same rifle and bbs bounce of the skull

[Gamonitro17hunter]

ur da best!!!

[Kerrik35]

how can a bird know WHAT a human would like to come to the manmade feeder-

[skaterzh]

you can kill grackles with a 495 fps beeman i do it all the time!!!

[stephcrouch1]

i killed 12 in a day with walther falcon hunter

[myshihtzudontstink]

man I don't know how but I accidently killed a bird with my crosman gun that I can actually easily follow and watch the pellet dome from where I fire to the end of my yard. That thing can't barely shoot through cardboard and yet it killed a bird. I've shot other birds and they just shrug it off but I shot this one dead center in the back and it flapped twice and died. my daisy would have shot completely through the bird so I'm not firing at birds anymore. squirrels are still okay.

[remingtonben3]

what seeds are you using to attract them?

[Timothy970]

haha cow bird and grackles

[8311XHT]

Nice video. Made me smile because I hate those damned birds. They have returned to my house and they are now hissing and screeching all over the place once again.

I laughed every time I saw feathers fly. Those evil birds are hurting things for the nice birds in my yard like the Mockers and doves . I can't use my .22 because I have close neighbors, but I plan to start getting the grackles with a quiet pellet gun soon to make ant food out of em.

[GAZISGANNAFREEK]

Great now i have a way to kill them Damn Pigeons!!

[ajb9470]

i shot 3 this morning with my gamo big cat 1200

[heffron91]

great music :D i have the Remington Summit 1000x , great rifle! I kill rabbits and seagulls with it :D

[Mustang4life321]

would a ruger airhawk kill them easy? 1000 fps

[AirRifleandBowHunter]

Absolutely! A Ruger Airhawk is more than enough to kill grackles.

[g3zz3r69]

@Mustang4life321 1000fps is a 40ft pound + air rifle

[PassionForTheOutdoor]

@Mustang4life321 no problem

[okeydokey243]

what is the difference between a crow and a grackle please reply

[AirRifleandBowHunter]

@okeydokey243

Google "crow" and "grackle". Grackles are a LOT smaller than crows and grackles have a blueish/purple head and neck.

[pyromania2334]

@AirRifleandBowHunter

in California its illegal to kill crows =/ might be the same way everwhere idk, we got pidgins tho

[slickster32113211]

@okeydokey243 craws go "CAW" grackles go "jhgadlgiuealgherjskge"

[RavenousCoral]

@slickster32113211 these ones didn't go jhgadlgiuealgherjskge, they just went splat -dead-

[jonaetsabri]

woooooooow

[metalmillica]

good shootin tex

[Tomster93]

Grackles are actually covered by the Migratory Bird Act, so they enjoy federal protection here in the US. That being said, I absolutely hate them, used to shoot them regularly as a kid, and even though I know better now, I'd drop the hammer on one every chance I could. Nasty creatures; they'd get in our trash, chase off song birds, raid nests, and just generally aggravate me.

Great video! Brought a smile to my face every time I saw those feathers fly!

[AirRifleandBowHunter]

@Tomster93

Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it.

Here in Ontario, Canada all you need is a small game licence and you can shoot as many grackles as you want. They aren't protected up here!

Thanks again!

[TheDodgeChallenger]

@AirRifleandBowHunter oh yeah when i was commenting on your other video I forgot to say the biggest disadvantage of the walther falcon hunter edition. It kicks so hard it broke the stop pin on my new ONE PIECE MOUNT! I bought it to handle the recoil but the original mounts worked way better.

[tolazytonamemyself]

@AirRifleandBowHunter would a .177 caliber pellet rifle be adaquete to kill a grackle?

[AirRifleandBowHunter]

@tolazytonamemyself

yes

[TheDodgeChallenger]

@Tomster93 I have a migratory bird liscense to hunt dove so whenever people question me I tell them i can hunt them because of my liscense:D

[TheSportsman99]

what kind of feed do you use

[AirRifleandBowHunter]

It's just regular bird seed.

[BLITZALLxKo]

nice vid. good shots

[hunterkiller45]

cracking video lets have somemore

[airsoftmaster232]

so thats what a grakle is i thought they were called black birds there tricky 2 shoot

[paigow66]

nice shooting but your PCP sounds like a gamo springer

[AirRifleandBowHunter]

Thanks! The gun sounds different on camera compared to hearing it off of camera.

[Bohldog05]

i hope u get in trouble for shooting those birds.....those are native birds and you can be in a lot of trouble if you are caught by the DNR

[AirRifleandBowHunter]

Do you know where I live? I don't live where you live - the laws are different here. Where I live grackles are not native and are considered pests and they are LEGAL to shoot. Remember that the laws are different from place to place. You should check the laws for the place where the situation is occuring before you go making an unecessary comment. Thank you.

[Bohldog05]

soo you live in Mexico? because last time I checked grackles are native to all of the US. I am studying this in college( so i think i would know). But anywho i am sure your just a redneck hillbilly that has nothing else better to do then shoot native birds...then think it is soo funny to post them on YouTube. People like you should be in jail.

[AirRifleandBowHunter]

I live in Ontario, Canada. If you look up Ontario's hunting regulations you will see that grackles are legal to shoot under the authority of a small game licence (which I have).

[pballa95]

ohh sucks for u bud. looks like you flunked out of ur bird studies...but anywho i am sure your just another pain in the ass tree hugger that has nothing else better to do than waste other people's time, as well as your own, then think its funny to post comments on YouTube. People like you should be in the FREAK SHOW.

[pballa95]

dont watch bird hunting vids if u gonna complain

[jgoodz420]

crackles are pest bird and are known for killing other birds, destroying their nests and eating their young......not to mention they are notorius for damaging property........

[ervandsarkisyan]

Just ordered this rifle. Hope it is good on large rabbits.

[AirRifleandBowHunter]

Don't worry, you'll have NO Problem taking rabbits with the Discovery. I've taken a coon and a groundhog with it. Both went straight down with a single head shot. I'm sure you'll like the Disco, it's a really nice gun.

What cal. did you order?

[ervandsarkisyan]

.22 caliber with 16.0 Grain Pointed Predator pellets and some cheap ones for targets. I have two questions about this gun. If I won't be shooting it too often. Is it better to get rid of all the air inside, or it can be stored inside for a long time? and a second question is - do you think I will loose some accuracy/kicking power by using regular air instead of the gas?

[jgoodz420]

co2 actually doesnt have as much kick to it.......so from what Ive ever read co2 will give you more shots, but a lower velocity, hope this helps, cheers...........

[Backyardsniper1]

Great shooting.

[TerminalVelocityX]

That is hands down the best grackle shooting video ever. I've got a bit of a grackle problem myself. I'm using a Crosman Phantom 1000X in .177 with a Venturi Gas Ram and a Crosman Tac 77 Elite in .177 to solve it. Three words for you. Busting Grackle Ass.

[elementsk8r1873]

great shooting!

[awsomewengo15]

Good video and good song!

[the3VIL]

Very nice shooting

[Gametime2525]
