- Out decoying on the stubble fields again trying to help protect a nearby field of standing crop as well as hopefully reducing the number of corvids and wood pigeons to help limit the damage done when this field is ploughed in and reseeded in a few weeks.
This is all done on farm land that i have permission to do so on with legally held air rifles and is done in a legal and humane manner as not to prolong or glorify the death of the birds.

Have a lot of fun watching your hunts! I'll be in Northern Ireland 2023 sometime. Wish I could stop in and have a hunt with you!
Glad you've enjoyed the videos.
Alway nice to come home with a good bag, those lower neck shots certainly put them down with not a lot of flapping. Thanks for all the good content and two videos on christmas day, result.
Glad you enjoyed it and a Happy New Year hay.
You wouldn’t know who might ship a bush hide to Australia? Great vids
Sorry no but you can find very similar hides on ebay and amazon if that helps.
As always David, another excellent video.
Geoff.
Glad you liked it.
Always good to see you out. Hope you had a nice Christmas, and that your new year will be awesome.
Thanks very much and hope you had a great Christmas and New Years too.
im from belfast buddy and just came across your channel today ive literally just picked up hunting with air rifles and been hunting hares for the past week absolutely love the sport and i hope to meet more people like you and me as ive currently doing this all solo . anyways man keep up the good work videos are smashing it!!!
Thanks for watching hay.
Just a Yank from across the pond enjoying your work. Keep it up!
Awesome! Thank you!
Always enjoy the action and narration. Better than anything on TV
Thanks very much but i think my wife would rather watch the great British bake off.
Looks like you a great day of shooting, and I like your blind. I use one very similar here in Michigan for Turkey hunting. Very comfy when it's cold or rainy. Hope you folks had a blessed Christmas!
Yes thank you very much and a Happy new Year to you too.
Great viewing over the holidays, thanks and Happy New Year
Glad you enjoyed it and a Happy New Year to you too.
Hello dear friend, I really enjoyed your hunting movie .. I am always following you and I am looking forward to your movies .. Thank you for your beautiful clips and Christmas. Congratulations to you and your esteemed family.
Thank you very much for watching and a Happy New Year to you and your family too.
Great footage. I actually started hunting Crows and magpies this way myself. Used too take the shotgun but its rather noisy and if your fieldcraft is good it´s not that hard to get birds to land. And since Lead shotshells are not allowed in Denmark a .22 air rifle offer a bit more range with lead pellets.
Thanks for watching, looks like we are going to lose lead shot here in the UK too soon.
Merry Christmas! Those were some nice kill shoots in the open field, thanks for the new hunting video
Thanks for watching and a Happy New Year.
Another good. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for watching.
Great day out! Nice little hide too, just perfect.
Merry Christmas ☃️🎄 my friend.
Same to you and a Happy New Year.
They make great soup David as well.
Ahh i must tell the wife, thanks.
Again , excellent video my friend !!!
Thanks again.
Thanks for another great video, and all the tips and info.
Anatomically, the shots you're taking are transecting he spinal cord, Complete and immediate paralysis from the neck down.
The fanning out of the bird's tail is an indication that there are no signals coming down to it from the brain.
Just one small gripe. Your audio is a little harsh and distorted, possibly because you're speaking too close to the microphone.
Thanks very much and i'll try and pay more attention to my mic placement next time.
Excellent david😉👍done good😁
Thanks very much.
Nice vid David good base of neck shot placement seems like more of a percentage shot than going for the unpredictable head shot.
Yeah I'm a complete convert to it as there is far less flapping about than with the head shot though i have yet to try it out on the hooded crows.
Great stuff as always.
Thank you.
Great video I am a total novice just getting into it can I ask what decoys ur using please
Merry Christmas my friend just put the phone on and a glorious end to a great day keep them coming thank you
Glad you enjoyed it and a Happy New Year to you too.
Thanks, great video, o nobody is decoying expert sometimes they just wont come in, always best when you shoot one or two bring in the plastic ones, cut some small spikes now this is the gorey part push on up the backside and in to the skull, they can then be mounted in any position, wind is very important, even if there is very little, face decoys in to wind, no 1 reason for not landing in my book, they watch for movement in a decoy pattern, but do committe on site, but as you no some dont hang around, just a few pointers, but i think you do a fantastic job, thumbs up from Manchester uk,
Thanks very much for the tips, i think one of the biggest problems i have faced decoying over the years is some of the ground i have shot over had that many other shooters on it the birds became almost impossible to decoy to the ground with plastic or dead birds, thankfully i was about the only one to shoot this field which was great.
@@HuntersVermin yes i no the feeling its very difficult after they are constantly be shot at over decoys, but its the people who dont have a clue about decoying who shoot at them with shotguns way out of range, its called borking them in england, this is what i do usually after a few weeks i put in a flapper on a timer, as now they look for movement because they learn static decoys means thunderstick, give it a go, hope this helps,
Merry Christmas!!!
Same to you hay and a Happy a New Year.
Merry Christmas to you and yours bro. Love all these videos and getting two on Christmas was nice. I use a Primos Gen III trigger stix a lot, but I have had my Vanguard bi-pod longer and still use it quite a bit, especially when sitting. You have a much better cradle on top of yours that I do. Mine is the plain jane V.
Thanks very much i usually just use my DIY ones but the swivel yoke was very handy for the left and right shots, hope you had a great Christmas and New Years hay.
@@HuntersVermin Thank you and yes, we did. Hope yours was great as well. Looking forwards to your videos for 2022 :-)
Show caçada top 👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thanks for the thumbs up.
Great video nice Christmas day present thanks well done 👏
No prob and a Happy New year to you hay.
Hi Dave, that would be an exceptional day of shooting for me. Great vid footage and commentary as always. Wishing you, your family and all your followers a peaceful and safe 2022
Thanks very much for that and hope you had a great Christmas and New Years too.
great shooting have a merry christmas and a happy newyear
Thanks very much and the same to you.
Great bit of shooting 👍 happy Christmas to one and all
Thanks very much and a Happy New Year.
Definitely putting a dent in the Wood Pigeons
Thanks for watching.
Good shooting. 👍
Thanks.
@@HuntersVermin you're welcome
Great vid 👍
What's your favourite scope for air rifle?
I don't think i really have one but i usually look for something with a lower end mag a 4-16 is more than enough for my needs, i prefer a second focal plane scope with side focus down to at least 10 yards and a 30mm tube, i do like a Christmas tree type reticle but not the really fine ones as they get too hard to find in low light like in a dark shed or with night vision.
amazing.... did u have so much green grass in December?
Sorry it was filmed earlier in the year during the summer i just kept it for the big day.
Try slugs for longer distances if your rifle will accept them. They have a much lower ballistics coefficient than pellets and travel much flatter trajectory.
Thanks I have tried them and at 15ft/lb the rifle is just not powerful for them.
Good job👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent video and excellent shooting pie 🥧 🤤
Thanks glad you enjoyed it.
Merry Xmas david
Thanks and a Happy New Year to you.
THUMBS UP " -- MERRY CHRISTMAS "
Thanks and a Happy New Year to ya.
Another great and informative video. Im assuming you just use the breast meat can I ask where and when to you process it? Before leaving the field or back at home and if its back at home whats your max time for leaving them before you do. Thanks
Some people breast them in the field but i usually take them home where i can use a table, cutting board and clean bowl to breast them that night but you need to be careful in really hot weather as they can go off quickly.
@@HuntersVermin Thank you
Nice shooting david
Thanks very much.
Merry christmas to you my friend godbless you 👍👍buddy i prishate your time to do us film buddy big thank you lv out to your family dino in uk w,ton🥳🛸un till the next time sir👍👍🤪
Thank you very much for that and hope you and your family had a good Christmas and New Years.
I use the same sticks mate. Wouldn’t leave home without them 👍
They did work well a little heavier than my DIY ones but that swivel yoke is handy.
Una buena percha de torcazes m buenos tiros y muy buen video
Thanks very much glad you enjoyed it.
If you write the equipment you use on the screen, those who do not speak English can understand it better, the issue is like jsp 18 grain 950 fps
I always wright down in the description box below the video all the equipment i am using. The BSA Superten i was using here was shooting the JSB Diabolo Exact 15.9 Grain pellets at 643fps.
@@HuntersVermin good thanks
The S-10 doing a good job, I'd call that a result .. 👍
The hide skills have improved imo .. 😉 .. 😂
atvb To you & yours David, here's to 2022 .. t
Thank you and the same to you and yours hay.
Are these pigeons good for ferrets to eat? I just found a ferret so am learning loads about them,, he's a good un, anyway I have a air gun and feeding it mince beef is expensive, so shall start hunting for its and my food.. Thanks great vid, expert knowledge..
Well i don't know much about ferrets but if i can eat the wood pigeons i shoot I'm sure a ferret can.
@@HuntersVermin I will be out looking for them thanks mate..
Nice shooting dude 👍
Thanks glad you liked it.
Hello mate what type is this hide and will a 11.5 ft lb .177 kill a pigeon at 25/35 yards. Thanks
The hide is called the Double Bush Hide from Bushwear .com and yes a rifle of that power and calibre will kill a wood pigeon cleanly with a well placed shot to the head, neck or heart at those ranges.
Nothing at all wrong with the length of this video, interesting from start to finish.
I wish for you and yours all the best of Good Health and Happiness that the New Year in 2022, can bring.
Cheers,. .really! :)
Thanks very much for that its appreciated and hope you had a great Christmas and New Years too.
👍👍👍
Thanks.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Thanks for watching.
I always wondered if anyone could get a shot while a bird is flying with an air rifle. Some say they did it.
I've never done it but sometimes when pigeons are coming into land and almost hover over a spot on the wing i have thought about taking the shot but it might be more luck than skill at getting a clean kill.
Look forward to more rabbit shooting videos
Thanks, just uploaded a rabbit shooting video on my other channel Nitro HV if your interested.
rabbits not pigeons .........!!!!!
Oh well maybe next time.
Merry Christmas!!
Same to you and a Happy New Year.
