  • Assuming all killed squirrels are eaten, the 25 seems much more humane.

  • Question: Do I need to have a hunting license to rid my property of some rather destructive squirrels and chipmunks?

  • Excellent Comparison video, I have a hunting partner that's in the process of upgrading to a new pellet rifle, this Video should clinch the deal...Thanks

  • he is pretty much saying if you hit it with a bb gun doesnt do as much damage as a grenade launcher, lets try it, plus did you guys know that squirrel are fire sensitive? lets try with this Molotov cocktail

  • use a 22 rifle

  • Comment removed

  • i laughed

  • @williamburgess11 now they have .22s that go 1200+ fps

  • @sniksder21 .... Really what is it?

  • Do .177 vs .22

  • .22, .25, why don't you just say to hell with it and get a .30 cal? ;) Maybe a simple .308, you wouldn't have to worry about that pesky wind drift anymore LOL

  • which pellet caliber has the least amount of wind drift? Might make an interesting study if compared simultaneously.

  • do you use hollow points or round nose? If you'd use hollow point it'd deliver more energy

  • Shoot in your balls ;D

  • Hello Ted - Your amazing skill with an air rifle is surpassed by your skill as a videographer. You might want to consider doing a professional documentary.

  • тебе бы пидарасу стрельнуль в лоб сука из такой же пукалки

  • lol, I love the comments saying things like "How could you do this to such lil things, they are so sweet" then go on to say "I hope you die with a black guys rapeing you" sheesh ppl are nuts on youtube. Good vid by the way was very informative.

  • @VINCENTDARKLY

    Yea, it's apparently fine to be a racist, but if you dare shoot an animal, you're the spawn of Satan and deserve the worst.

  • fuck you for killing sweet little squirrels you fucking bitch I hope you get raped by a black guy in jail

  • Elmer Fudd

  • Just get a damn .22 LR.

  • your a fucking dick

  • @MrCaveeno How so?

  • How can you kill such sweet animals?

  • @Wesleyvd1991 With an accurate weapon and a well-placed shot.

  • what scope uses for .22 cal???? i like it mildot point

  • Fucking sheet man !!!Execution style !!

  • Don't listen to the haters. The footage of the .25 in the front was pretty amazing. He even threw his nut in the air and everything.

  • 2:05 You shot his fucking nut.

  • Comment removed

  • @wwedirecmaster since you are too dumb to understand, this is considered pest control, as he lives in a farm. and second, squirrels are really tasty. what's your problem?

  • @wwedirecmaster BLAH BLAH BLAH ALL CAPS BULLSHIT WAH WAH WAH I CAN'T COMPOSE A COHERENT SENTENCE, WHAT THE FUCK AM I TALKING ABOUT? I DON'T KNOW! ALL I KNOW IS THAT MY BLEEDING HEART CANT WITH STAND WATCHING VIDEOS ABOUT THE CIRCLE OF FUCKING LIFE, MAYBE I SHOULD GO BACK TO FANTASY LAND WHERE THE ANIMALS TALK AND SING ME TO SLEEP!!

  • @wwedirecmaster Why do you watch it then numbnut ? I enjoyed it :)

  • more and hit the squirrel in the head and he droped like a tun of bricks never flinchd so what im getting at is ii respcet the knock down of the 22 and 25 but prefer a smaller lighter faster pellit

  • my old brake barrol .177 (wich is about 14 years old maxed out at 1200 fps when it was new but now is about 800 or 900) well eney way i steped out on my porch one day as the light was almost gone and notised a big spot in a tree limb so i went inside and got my range finder the range finder said 45 yard (mine has a feet featcher a km feacher and yards i prefer yards) so i got my break barrol out and took one shot at the base of the branch to get my shot down and get a good shot then took one

  • THE ANTI-HUNTERS ARE LIKE THIS, BECAUSE THEY JUS´T DON´T HAVE COURAGE OF DOING ANYTHING. THEY PREFER TO EAT WHAT OTHERS KILL.

    GIVE THEM CARROTS AND FRUIT!!!

  • The comparison is made using 25 grains in both .22 and .25?

  • 2:12 made me lol

  • love the videos and the instruction as well, finally got my bullpup and love it too, please do some more squirrell hunting vids.

  • ich spreche kein english.

  • Hey I want to start doing this but I dont know if my bb gone is powerful enough to kill a squirrel or small bird. also do you eat the squirrels? I would feel bad if I dont eat them

  • hey i just put a .25 in a squirrel's ass and guess what it dropped on a dime... a real dime. lol

  • I have a .177 break barrel (15ft-lbs at the muzzle). I aim for the head and if I hit that, it's lights out. Often though, the pellet enters the neck. I'd say he's still dead instantly, just with a lot more blood spray. You may get some nerve twitch. That said, with some not so great hits, the .177 has failed to be lethal with one shot on me, but I've never left a critter suffering yet. I just feel that much energy on target is going to leave any small critter incapacitated, or dead.

  • yep! i agree ,the bigger the round the more damage ."BUT" don't for get kenetic energy .being a shooter 177 cal. my train of thought is to change of ballistic of the round or the weight .this change in the mass of the larger weight increase adds sock and stopping power by the way i.m a SPRINGER for life .RWS MODEL 48 & NEW GAMO SOCOM EXTREEM..keep on shooting down with tree hugging.

  • i hope, someone shot adn kill you like this....

  • @Achilleus52 You need to grow up.

  • i had a theoben 12/250 (only comes in 25cal up to 40flb ) going back about 12 or more years now and i have to say it did smack things much harder than my 22 cal...

    Why are there so meany people watching this vid and going off on one if you don't like, don't watch.

    we shoot gray squirrel in England as they are pests just like rabbits and pigeons.

  • I understand shooting a deer for a meaty meal but why a sqirrel Is for the fun of some creepy kid or some sick ass dud.

  • big looser!!!

  • Bummer that YouTube is getting all conservative. Have you considered Vimeo? (not sure how their policies differ) Or maybe making them available somehow for download?

  • I wish i had a big fat sniper so i could shoot you in the head

  • @Ted, are you tempted to move to .25 for hunting?

  • Comment removed

  • still looking good !!!!

  • I got one last week, I use an Air Arms TX200 .177, it was facing me looking slightly down, 25 yard shot smack bang in the brain. Instant death.

  • How can you do this.. Squirrels are cute animals!

  • @Oscar60x2

    Ya and they taste really good with rice and gravy

  • 2:07 lol he caught his nut

  • I remember when I was 7 or 8 my uncle got me a .177 cal pellet gun. I shot a squirrel in the chest with it, and it just ran off, just brusied it a bit. Now I just use it for plinking.

  • Wonderful video !!! which software of assembly do you use? Always the EDGUN which is a magnificent weapon for the hunting. Could you make a video of hunting with the Marauder pistol, because I possess this one now and I find it fantastic!!!!

  • Saying anything rude on these vids get people hatin on

  • Nice comparison

  • What scope brands do you use?

  • Do you think it would would be wise to purchase a Benjamin trail np xl .25 cal?

  • Thanks for another great hunting video. As always you will have the antis and the pore city boys that have never set foot into the woods and experienced the thrill of the hunt for themselves ( CEOs of YouTube included) crying about it but you do a great job trying to educate them.

    Keep them coming

  • where did you get the .25 air rifle

  • hey ted, would you consider the benjamin titan 22 cal? because the 22 cal with lead pellets can only go about 700 fps so do you think that is good for rabbit hunting? how fast does your gun in the video go?

  • LOL! I look at all the hate he gets and think of Peter Chao "If you don't like my video, dont fcking watch it!)

  • Good clear examples of the impact of a .22 & .25

    I know there will always be people against shooting squirrels, here in Holland it's strickly forbidden.

    You even can't shoot a rat inside your own house. But I can live with that ;-)

    I don't however understand the negative comment on this vid.

    The title of this vid is clear "Squirrel Hunting .22 vs .25 Comparison"

    Please stop complaining about this vid. It says exactly what you can expect when clicking on this button.

  • why do you need to shot a fucking squirrel i dont mind if its a sterling or pigdeon but a squirrel ?

  • @dddddddddddd71 Tasty critters.

  • @TheyLiveWeObey , Do you attend junior high school or still in elementary?

  • Thank you, excellent work. Just ordered a .22 Benjamin Discovery, I was debating b/w it and the .25 NP XL as they are similarly priced i.e app. $300 but trajectory & cost of the .22 pellets sealed the deal, if I need more wallop 22 shorts will be a better option.

  • @TheyLiveWeObey You still feel bitter for being shot as a squirrel in a past life or something?

  • @theyliveweobey

    Really... Why are you watching it if you don't like it? Cause you have no life!!!!!

  • I killed a 9 lb groundhog one time with a .177 gamo big cat 1200. It popped out of it's hole, I hit it in his chest and it immediately dropped dead in it's hole. I couldn't believe it. Even small calibur airguns can instantly kill small-medium size game if the shot placement is good.

  • @TheyLiveWeObey go fuck youreself hippie. animals die, get used to it

  • I agree with you to a existent I have a crosman quest 1000x and I shot a squirrel at 20 yards with a .177 predator pollymag and he took 3 steps and died

  • @amp9oo I should do a special video on Predator Pellets. They change everything when it comes to hunting because they hit like a ton of bricks. Thanks for your comment. :)

  • @TheyLiveWeObey Dear Youtube, Observe the effectiveness of age restricting videos. You explain that you do it to prevent it from being seen by those who do not want to view hunting. But, as you can see, anti-hunters actually SEEK out these videos. So, reconsider your policy. It is not working. You are only punishing the young shooters who would like to learn their craft. ted.

  • hi

    they seem to forget they have the right not to watch, its in the name squirrel hunting.

    some people have nothing better to do than look for things to be offended by.

    you are very accurate - good clean instant kills and no suffering.

    by posting on youtube you show us how it should be done keep them coming.

  • @EdgunUSA they age-restricted this one too ted.

  • @CanadianAirGunHunter Yeah - I might as well upload the original one now. No sense trying to compromise with Youtube and the antis if they are going to flag and age restrict my video regardless of my editing. Maybe I'll upload that this week.

  • @EdgunUSA No kidding, whats the point of they arent going to use any attentive judgment rather than unbridled disreguard for an obvious (and well done) attempt to tone down a graphic video.

  • @EdgunUSA Its pretty pathetic... this has absolutely no blood in it. and how do the anti's know that he ain't just sleepin'? LOL

  • @EdgunUSA I would like to see it.

  • @EdgunUSA do it no point in argue with people who have never been outa the city and tasted real healthy wild meat haha

  • I would like see .223 vs Squirrel

  • Man they should definitely hire you to direct all the Sniper Shows on the Discovery Channel. What a great video and great footage of hits. I would love to replace your squires with Taliban insurgents and your pellet gun with a Remington MSR in 338 lapua magnum.

    Thanks for the great video.

  • i love how the squirrel throws his acorn in the air and it lands on his stomach hahah

  • Ruger 1022 is a real tack driver. That's a  great gun for hunting micro game. Great videos.

  • do you guys think i should get a benjamin discovery or the benjamin marauder pistol

  • well Ok I do not air gun hunt I hunt with powder perpellent firearms (AKA .22LR 30.06 12 gauge) its all in what you like but when you said that the pellet flew him back no no it was that pain and he jumped backwards I'm am just saying do not take me the wrong way i'm just saying.

  • Something like this happened to me I shoot pigeons and I hit one in the vitals with a gamo 22 and the bird didn't die I had to ua follow up shot

  • Hi! For excellent accuracy your recommendation? Is that marauder 25cal.?

  • Love this clip Ted.

    The .25 is defo the king of rat shooting within the UK.

    Nothing comes close to it.

    Si.

  • Thanks this helped ALOT.

  • Nice vid! Even my 8 year old understood the vids importance. he said we should stick to. 22 vice .177 for birds for the instakill effect. Thanks for the illustration.

  • Its funny how they would restrict this video,your showing how to more ethically hunt game. Yes, hunting has bloodbut,If your going to get all worked up about the blood, then why is the word HUNTING or GUN in your search bar.  Heck, the person that reported this video is probably some mom who's little kid enjoys blood and killing because they play to much call of duty. He even gives warnings in the beginning of his videos that there is hunting. Seriously, if you can't handle it, don't watch it.

  • The a million dollar question if u use a 25 pellet and 22 whit 25 grains bout if is the same result

  • wtf? this one got age restricted as well.?.?.? Ted I think you should put the original one back on

  • poor squirles :(

  • great vids. i asked the same question about importance of energy for instant kill, i shoot BSA r10 (uk ft/lb) .22 jsb 15.90, head shot squirrel instant deceased, iv heard .177 they still run ?

  • Screw age restriction! Kids should get outside more and quit sitting around watching Youtube videos and eating Mickey D's. Go play outside and quit being obese.

  • What's the title of the original video, my pc broke down so I'm just using my iPhone and I can't click on the link

  • I just got the marauder in .22 and I love it already its so fun to shoot

  • I have killed alot of squirrels with 177 cal at 700 fps and sometimes they fall right there

  • Gostei, muito bom. Thank.

  • plz make more squrril hunting vids it benifits me on my hunting

  • Waikarimoana makes some great hunting videos but puts a warning on every one. I am interested in the ballistics. For rifles a opposed to air guns you typically get larger calibre's having lower muzzle velocity and superior ballistic coefficient. They do have normally much more muzzle energy and lose energy less rapidly. Airguns it seems it is much more about having more surface area. Have you looked at the energy graphs to compare across calibre's Ted??

  • Anti hunting but they sure like to send young people off to war! Keep up the good videos, hunters eat better and it shows!

  • Is the Marauder in .25 caliber suitable for "hunting" raccoons? I can live with the squirrels around my house, but the cat food stealing raccoons must go. Unfortunately, I can't fire a firearm in my backyard, so I have to resort to alternate means. Airguns are my first choice, but a .22 CO2 gun is barely capable to "hunt" possums, let alone 'coon. Otherwise... archery?

  • Nice comparison. You should have thrown in a .177 shot too. I have shot squirrels countless times with various .177s and none of them even wounded the squirrels! .22 is a big difference I guess but I know some people that say .22s aren't effective on squirrels either. One time my friend plugged 7 .22 rounds into a squirrel to kill it! Of course I'm talking about tree squirrels which I think are tougher.

  • poor squirrels :(

  • Comment removed

  • Do you think you could make a video of how to hunt squirrels and clean and cook. If you can thx

  • I hope someone shoot you too :)

  • First of all, great video!

    This comparison is made with your usual JSB 18 grains i trust? Could be interesting to see the difference using 25 grains .22 and the .25 ammo

  • how are you so good at hunting i get maybe 1 squirrel a month

  • Thanks Ted..another Great Video. Keep up the good work. I see your following Si and his productions as well........Well we have 2 Continents covered!

  • Nice. I been shooting squrilles with my .22 for ages its deffinatly about the shot placement. Exept maby with a hollo pointed .25 lol

  • I think my view count goes to the original video. :) Great job as always, Ted!

  • Interesting, though I have recently switch from using a .22 air rifle to a .177 both shooting around 11.5ftlbs (the legal limit in the uk) and i have found the .177 to give more consistant clean kills on vermin particularly grey squirrels. However I only ever go for head shots and I think maybe the .177 gives better penetration than the .22 so this might be the reason, what do you think?

  • Is there any way you could send me a copy of your originally uploaded version? I was looking forward to this video so much! I was unfortunately in upstate New York when you posted it, and missed out on the original. The cleaning bit was what I really wanted to see, since I've always wanted to hunt squirrels but decided not to because I don't know how to clean them and I didn't want to waste a squirrel for no reason. Thanks a lot!

  • can you kill or wound someone with these pellets?

  • @ jedirifleman and @wyldbill100 I salute you sirs. Well said.

  • Fantastic video, I use my .25 airguns at sub 12FPE in the UK to great effect, as you say it really opens up your killzones, now chest shots on Pigeons and Squirrels at 45yards are more than capable of dropping them stone dead. I'll look forward to more comparisons!

    Phil

  • i totally agree with what u are saying however yesterday i shot a squirrel with my power upgraded weihrauch just in front of his its shoulder and it dropped instantly but i completely understand what your talking about and i love all your video's

  • best is a 17 hmr

  • @ edgunUSA

    first of all i like you video's realy mutch. so here is the question

    i have a Air Arms s 510 .25 xtra fac and its zero distance is 60 meters but if i have a enemy bird at 100 or 30 meters i donth know how i have to aim at them. can you help me whit this ?

    already tanks greence from holland

  • @Rottenjuggalo, the .25s have a better BC compared to the .22 (0.034 JSB Exact Kings~25.4gn v. 0.027 JSB Jumbo Exact Heavy~18.1gn) so some efficiency benefits from the BigCal. Usually larger calibers are also more air efficient from otherwise identical rifles.

    All irrelevant if you can't find a pellet that works well in your equipment, and here in the UK we are power limited which makes .25 a very short range tool, but interesting viewing as ever.

    Regards...

  • Youtube is being over run by yippies (hippie + yuppie) and askewed sexually oriented flakes. Only a yippie would claim to be "green" and "all about nature and the enviornment" and oppose someone harvesting wild game for nourishment (nature's cycle of life) to the point of banning videos with blood. I really don't understand how these illogical, minority miscreants can get so much say here. They must have photos of the executives in compromising positions.

  • I hear .338 win mag does wonders with gofers

  • that is ridiculous about youtube. your videos are very well made and informative. it's not like your just some bloodthirsty idiot (which there are a lot of on youtube) you actually care about humane killing and educate people. of all the things to censor on youtube that is the most unbelievable.

  • Why not use a 50 caliber pellet I'm sure it would make a clean kill

  • please respond........ but um.. i got a .177 phantom i went squrriel hunting yesterday about 20/25 yards i shot it in the head and it didnt die.. instantly but it was a clean kill.... will .177 still be good enough.. for like shooting game like rabits and stuff with that?

  • Other video was better. Thank you though, good info.

  • fantastic vid. great footage, editing and narrative. THUMBS WAY UP. keep up the good work and support me when you get a chance.

  • Dead animals keep civilization alive. Youtube is not thinking. Common sense is not common.

  • Awesome!!, what scope is on the gun? (the one that has a tree reticle)

  • nice man... im from argentina... and i'm a byg fan of your videos! you are a fucking master! jajaja i have a hatsan 125, what do you think about this rifle?? Regards from Argentine!!!

  • Uhm... 90 "likes" and 3 "dislikes"... So, then You Tube "feels" obligated to Cover Their Asses since there are 3 dislikes and %$#censor$%!!?? "Freedom of Choice?? (My ASS!). The 3 MORONS that posted "dislikes" ...PROBABLY have EVERY late term HUMAN abortion video listed as "Favorite" in thier taskbar. I suppose we will be celebrating a , "Be NICE to Pussies Day" in America VERY soon. Kick 'em in the ass, Ted!! You're doing a GREAT JOB!! Informative, educational, ETHICAL, and AMERICAN!!!

  • @wyldbill100 amen to that.

  • @wyldbill100 I agree 100%

  • @wyldbill100 yeah, you right... nothing more american than shooting things

  • 1:50 squirrel lost his nut

  • It's funny that a big part of my favorite videos are about fluffy animals dying.

  • im very interested in these guns im debating on the 22 and 25 im new to pcp and i figured y not start of with the best that i can affor around 300 to 475 is finding 25 cal pellets difficult and if u would sugest one for shooting mostly in the woods agacent to resedential areas which would u choose...ps can you do a vid on filling up ur marauder with air thanx

  • dont go there ed... blood is red... keep it real.lol age restricted... who cares.... kids ... why would u ever put ur real age on profile anyways;)

  • Didn't bother me. Wonder if you just made the bloody shots black and white if that would fly...

  • I found out that squirrels taste better when they suffer before the expire.

  • keep up the good work edgun!

  • dear youtube - these are rodents, not magical little walt disney idols.

  • keep up the great work mate ! 

  • Dang Ted, I love your videos and your narration. Are you a teacher by chance? You just sound like you know how to teach. Btw, ordered myself a Benjamin M-rod 177 caliber because of you and your videos! lol Always been a "springer" guy and never knew what a pcp was until your videos. Went 177 because it will be a basement target gun as I have 22 RF and 17 Mach 2 for my rimfire hunting needs and plenty of centerfires for everything else. Can't wait for the pcp!!!!

  • Good Job Ted. So how you liking the Mamba scope? I just ordered one (from England) fedex to Memphis.

  • DUDE WTF the AGE restricted this one TO !

    Fuck YOU YOUTUBE !

    Damn HIPPIES can go F***k THEM selves errr !

  • @basscatcher98 Hate to agree to this with the language but I have to! Well said! Youtube - you suck!

  • @Buffy16901

    yeah i was really any srry for the language but thnx for agreeing !

  • Youtube is becoming more hypocritical every day fuck them.

  • I still think I'm leaning towards the Marauder .22. Its quieter, the charge lasts longer for more shots and I think I can find a heavier pellet to make the ft. lbs. I need to take rabbit or pest cleanly. .25 is really cool too... decisions.

  • "Youtube screeners"...slang for Gestapo and the thought police. Little by little..the George Soros' are destroying our nation. (as planned)

  • Id hate to disagree and cause an argument but why would you buy a 25 and have a lower ballistics coefficient than just stick with a 22 but buy heavier pellets that will fight the wind and carry more velocity to longer ranges? A larger caliber will generally slow down faster than a smaller caliber in the same gr weight. Probably out of my realm seeing as how I shoot long range with center fire rifles.

  • @MrROTTENJUGGALO I don't see that as disagreeing - just thinking about how to skin the cat more efficiently :). It comes down to getting the pellet/bullet energy to transfer to the animal. As we saw, the .25 pellet passed through, so some energy was lost. I've heard that some pellets, like predators, do not exit squirrels, so that would mean that the squirrel absorbs it all (and get crushed). There is a lot to be discussed. And I certainly don't claim to be the authority :)
