435 Yard Crow In The Frost and Snow

Hi every one this is just one shot i took in December 2020 on a cracking crisp morning, here in the UK Crows and Magpies can cause devastating damage to the rare nesting birds we have on our moors for example Curlews, lapwings meadow pipits and many many more, they also predate on the song bird population ,also around lambing time the crows will peck out the eyes of the newborn lambs while they are vulnerable just after birth and even at times while the Ewe is giving birth crows will peck out the eyes and tongues of a lamb, so as a pest controller our laws let us control them all year round, here i am using a center fire rifle as the crows and magpies can wise up avoiding traps and keeping out of range of the shotgun at times cheers

400m bullseye on a crow with 41" of bullet drop - what an amazing shot. Just awesome marksmanship, thanks for sharing.

[@simon6ppc246]

Thanks a lot pal.

Brilliant, fantastic editing and cinematography, and also your dedication for just 1 shot. Much enjoyed

[@simon6ppc246]

Great shot Simon ! Such a clean kill over that distance! Thats got to be one for the best shots compilation! Dramatic scenery with the snow too!

[@williamsteven429]

Simon, your efforts to reduce corvid numbers and the seasonal predation of wader nests is to be commended. Sadly the bird "conservation " society is nowadays an organisation run by the AAs ie Activists and Accountants. rspb RIP. ...amen.

Thanks William well ye who knows how it will all turn out.

Hi, Simon. Wow, that was a great shot. I believe it is the farthest shot I have seen on a pest. Some of the ground squirrels or hogs have been almost as long, but not as long. and crow is a smaller target as well. Well done. Very well done. Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!

[@bluemarblemark]

@@simon6ppc246 I had no idea that crow was a an issue for lambs and other wildlife. My first thought was that perhaps you were over-gunned for the task, but considering the distance and the efficiency of the kill, you choice makes good sense. Your marksmanship is impressive. Obviously, you've put in the hours.

1/4 mile shot...amazing! I killed a nice buck in N. Idaho years ago at that distance which was a great shot. Only difference is, my buck was a 300 times bigger target! So much to consider here that most people don't think about. Altitude, air density, temperature, wind, am I shooting uphill, downhill, level, where is this bullet going after the target? Then you have to be calm, not be shaking from the cold....and you did this great video editing on top of all that. Great work! Thank you!
