Thank you very much for watching, please subscribe for more videos.
Take care stay safe and happy shooting.
see ya in the next one...
There’s something immensely satisfying about watching you dispatch such a pest.
Thanks mate.
2:48 absolutely smoked it 😆
Cheers Mark.
It sure clarifies the saying "Falling off your Perch"... Oh, and just a small point for the people who criticize this form of pest control, all that grain in the barn that the pigeons are pooping on goes to make the bread, cake and biscuits that you eat, this service these lads are doing is invaluable, keep up the good work lads and thanks for a great video.....
That was absolutely brilliant to watch Robin, plenty of good solid backstops and it's very important that you showed the amount of crap that these birds deposit on the structure and of course contaminate the grain, how could anyone criticise this type of vermin control? I watched this episode while on night shift and soon had a crowd looking over my shoulder 😂 very well done to you both. ATB... Billy.
THE RATTYFIRE nice one, thanks for that. All the best buddy.

Absolute ripper , I have a job doing the same thing but no night vision I’m getting one now .cheers Dean
Dean Morriss makes it a tad easier I have to say. Thanks for watching.
have you considered an add on nv, nvuk group on facebook have instructions on how to make your own. pete or eddie on same group also sell nvuk kits. I use an nvuk kit on my daystate air ranger
I am very impressed with the quality of your marksmanship and TH-cam postings. As a suggestion, I would not handle the dead pigeons with my bare hands; perhaps handle the dead pigeons with a trash (rubbish) grabber with the squeeze handle type.

@@squirrelman6719 Step away from the goats ...now!
squirrel man Were you born an idiot or did you just try really really hard? It says in the very beginning of the video don’t watch if you’re easily offended. Fucking wuss.
@@navcop031 ffs man you beat me to it I was about to talk so much shit to him too lmao
@antlerz22 sounds like you are very familiar with this activity so I am guessing you have done this scenario with him before or you dream of doing it at some point in time.
WOW! The pigeons have made their own mountain going, they have really done some damage in that BARN!!
A lesson in how it should be done, thanks for a great vid Robin look forward to your next !
What a great job lads, the farmer would have been delighted.
Im just happy that your showing both sides of the story of Vermin Control . But All things must be done humanly done . I shoot Clays , we were invited to a Pheasent shoot . and everything Had to be done properly . Im glad you guys are going by the book .As all viewing you never know who is watching . Kindest Regards
i work in san francisco and i wish we could do this pigeons and ish all over the place. thanks for the good work best wish in sf
Excellent! Certainly beats the T.V.
Asl6uk thanks. This is exactly why I started making videos in the first place. Nothing to watch on TV. But there are thousands of shooting and hunting videos to watch online.
When I was a kid, it was routine for us to go out once or twice a week to shoot rats, birds, snakes, and similar in the barns on grandma's farm. Good target practice. Later, squirrels at even greater distances with .22 rifles. Today, in a small town, I'm again limited to air rifles, this time for chipmunks digging up the yard, trees, and foundations. Rarely miss the fast little pests.
Iv put holes in car doors with my .25 Condor SS. Junk cars to be clear. Do you ever have any concerns about punching through the tin roof or damaging any other backstops?
Another cracking video 👍🏻.......I do love the pigeon ones, will always be a favourite as even for a city boy like me, it's usually our first introduction as kids to shooting vermin ( Dad cursing : " bleedin' pigeons are on the roof again....😡 "......my cue to reach for the Air Arms Combat 😄) Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Funchal Hammer thanks for watching. All the best.
Nice work, that looks a lot of fun, it’s been a very long time since I’ve shot Ferrell’s in the sheds, air rifles have certainly moved on a lot since my old springer days 👍
MrStavross30 thank for watching buddy. I’ll be seeing you in a couple of weeks time.
Robin Foxer looking forward to it mate, hopefully I can put a few over you 👍
7:55 hahahaha the other pigeon just tossed the dead one that was in its way
Its a bit like a fair ground gallery shoot but with an accurate gun, great shooting in buildings especially when the weather is crap.
darran newman I think that the weather helped. Alright it put pay to the rat shooting. But it made the indoor job much easier. Thanks for watching.
After seeing this i think i now know what i is going to ask mrs for Xmas..... Air arms s510!!!! Top shooting and great vid as always!
Matt Stubbington you’ll not regret getting one. Fantastic tool it really is.
The amount of scat is amazing...
Of all the videos Ive seen this one is by far the best. Sorry EdGunLeshiy
good shooting, another good reason to take heart lung shots is to reduce the risk of over penetration and damaging the building. Good example at 14.06 where you can see where the pellet hit the roof
As the yanks would say a target rich environment,and a good night's shooting,well worthy of my 5 ☆ rating
Colin Askey thanks for watching Colin.
Agreed
@@airwavepaul OK I didn't expect such a long post
@@airwavepaul every population needs some sort of "control " this is pigeon population control.
@@airwavepaul due to the fact that they have unlimited food and shelter the birds have an unfair advantage. They are essentially NOT living in the wild like other birds, hence the "overpopulation ".
nice video i like the commentry about the job and its process and why.... details on shot placement etc...very nice
moonbear glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
good shooting I bet the farmer is very happy with that.
Good show Rob, job well done. Use the same kit myself
one of the best flying rat dispatch ive seen. lol. ive got a nitesite, watching this I need to offer my services more
That seems to be a dirty job, but it has to be done. Good show looking forward for more in the future.
Hi Robin from N.Y great marksmanship ︻デ═一
Love the split camera..
Remember your hand sanitizer!!!
DR_Virulent Epidemic greetings, thanks for watching. Indeed. I always have some in the glove box in the truck.
Nice bit of pest control, those barns needed doing looking at the mess they were making,
Well done chaps,
Great video robin certainly done a good job getting rid of that lot
jim wood cheers Jim. Hope your doing well buddy.
@@TeamFoxer yes all good robin cheers. Clint and myself have had a couple of night time trips after the foxes where Clint bagged a couple which was good
Fantastic really look forward to your latest updates well done lads great job 👍
Wow you hit the jack pot with this lot Robin, great video, and cracking shooting guys, thanks for sharing this, keep them coming, Cheers
Great work lads.
Great shooting well done ✅👍✅🙂
If you install a canvas (with small squares) on the roof, the pigeons will not have a place to sleep at night. I saw that solution in a bus station and it worked very well. Ok, I know some of them are stubborn and will try do stay there in that place. So, you will use less bullets.
One Major Health risk from the spores in the pidgeon dung can cause an a very severe ilness known as Histoplasmosis! Job well done!!
That was a quality shoot guys! It really was like shooting fish in a barrel. Excellent work. Thanks for the video and for sharing! Have a good Christmas!! 👍👍
Air Rifle Pest Control thank you very much. Glad you liked it. Merry Christmas to you and your family too.
Excellent video Rob👍
Springer spaniel thank you for stopping by once more. Hope that torch is serving you well. All the very best.
That pigeon literally pushed his dead friend off the ledge. Savage.
My favorite so far these guys rock!
R DUBB glad you liked it, I think we’re going there next week!
Jesus the bark from that FAC is great.
Geez.....those pigeons didn't stand a snowballs chance in hell !
Great shooting lads,
I shoot them around loading bay canopies for trucks, and use the carcasses to feed and lure foxes
Can’t believe I just found your channel. Loved the rabbit hunt with the 10/22 as well!
Super Hank Outdoors glad you liked it. Please feel free to share the content or channel with your mates on social media.
good shooting lads, nice kit too. top job.
Thanks David.
Superb shoots 👍😊 come to Switzerland,we have a pigeon Problem😊
Cracking video. Love your work.
Thanks you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Love it...but doesn't it create holes in the siding or roof...?
Good job 👍
Thanks for watching.
Nice Shooting Robin. 👍
Liked and already subscribed.
Cheers 🙏
Great video again mate brilliant shooting
Hunter1984 B thanks for watching.
Always a thumbs up,great shooting.
Thanks for the video
Great vid. I thought you might run out of pellets before pigeons.
Great shooten. In the states those are 4 dollars a bird caught live. 2 if shot. Great shooten
Excuse my pedantry, but it's "mother lode". Enjoy your work immensely, thanks. My Weirauch HW100kt does a great job with local crows and pigeons. The Diablo Hades ammo seems to compensate for the lesser hitting power of .177 pellets.
I tried this over 20 year ago at my brother in-laws with a beeman springer after a few shots I realized it was going through the pigeons body and the roof, the springer had one setting and that is high now I have a pcp and you have all the adjustments you need for what & where you are shooting
Cracking video guys! Nice work.
What camcorder are you using? The quality is awesome for NV.
Thanks for watching. It’s the Sony AX53 with an additional IR mounted on the hot shoe.
@@TeamFoxer Cheers for the quick response Robin. Much appreciated mate. Right... where's that Christmas list... 😄
It's not a pleasant sight. We are used to seeing them walking on our cafe strips and soiling awnings and city buildings. Congratulations on having the strength and fortitude to do the job quickly, dispassionately and humanely. Do all pigeons have diseases? Are the country ones any good for meat? Can the pellets penetrate the tin roofing? All the best from Australia.
I hold my breath between shots you guys are deadly
"it was there for a second attempt." *HEAD EXPLODES* No need for a third... :-)
When I was a young fellow we spread manure on top of the snow. The pigeons would descend on the manure and we’d ambush them with shotguns. We used the carcasses for coyote, fox and bobcat bait.
Awosome shooting and great video, I wish I could be there having that much fun
Those all looked like grain fed pigeons. In the area where I live the pigeons live on anything they find eatible to them. This includes garbage of all sorts.
In a farm situation I imagine that an accurate estimate of grain loss could be computed with relative ease. For example; if one pigeon can fill his crop with say two ounces of grain by feeding twice a day and 16 ounces equals a pound; then in four days he's eaten a pound of grain. That's just one pigeon. When a farm or a feed lot is inundated with pigeons the losses can be extremely costly.
That doesn't account for the night raiders that come out when the sun goes down. Rats and mice can consume just as much and be in just as great in numbers as pigeons it's just you don't seem them as plainly as pigeons cause they generally come out at night when the lights go off.
My numbers and my math sucks but I'm sure you get the point I'm trying to make. And none of this financial loss takes into account any health hazards that also come into play when a farm or a feed lot has this kind of rodent problems; be they feathered or furred.
Well done gentlemen.
Most awesome video I've seen in a few weeks.
Thanks for watching.
kinda brought back some good memories of a few months back foxy at my friends industrial estate 200 flying rats in 2 days in the dark with a small led torch strapped to the rifle good sport
Very Good shot!
Most EXCELLENT! 👍👍👍👍
Are these safe to be handled without gloves? Here where I live (southern Brazil, kinda rural) pidgeons are often called flying rats, since they can have fleas and lice that might house some nasty diseases.
Great shooting as always.
And for those wondering how humane this is, putting in a bigger perspective, it's like getting shot in the chest by a 12 gauge slug. You probably either die instantly or pass away by the shock of the energy these rounds dump on your body. Way more humane than poison or nets.
pigeons are really not that bad, I shoot wood pigeons in the forest down the road and eat them all the time. they are delicious! greatly underappreciated food source, and so abundant!
@@tobycampbell2739 i find them too gamey tasting,,,maybe city pigeons are better
Exquisite shooting chaps, chip chip Cheerio now time for tea and crumpets
Great pest control! SUBBED!
I noticed after you remembered to reload your shot went through the pigeon and hit the metal behind it does it leave a hole in it.
Keep up the good work robin .out meself on sat decoying over some clover cheers mate all the best
Nice shooting guys
Norm Buswell thanks mate. Hoping to be back there next week.
Hello. Just curious if there is any concern about shooting thru the roof metal?
Well Done Rob and Lee, you can not shoot to many rats . and it takes a lot of skill not to put holes in the farmers shed shooting pigeons .ATB, Dave
Outstanding video!. I enjoy pest control and pigeons are, with rats my two top ones. Sadly one can not shoot as often as possible...living in big cities poses a real challenge and only 100% sure and safe kills can be attempted (however I have downed a few of those car-shitting machines)
Were you not concerned about a through and through and damaging the shed? Great video thanks.
No there dialled down and using light pellets so no chance of any holes.
Interesting vid. I know nothing about these rifles. How do you recharge the tanks?
Brent Weeks you can fill them up with a divers bottle or use a pump.
@@TeamFoxer A new kind of pump action rifle . . .
Do you ever have a problem with the pellets going through the roof tin or siding? Is it just accepted that there will be some damage as part of the job by the owners? I think it would be hard to keep from not damages of some type. Nice shooting by the way.
nice shooting guys
Those 12 ft lb rifles worked great.
With the fac power I’m surprised there aren’t more holes in the building, did you turn the power to a more manageable level
Dave Kendrick oh god yeah, mine was about quarter power. Lee had his running at about a third power. This is exactly the reason we use this rifle. I’ll be out on rabbits next week out to 65/70 yards so will dial it up for that job.
Having seen a pellet go through a Feral on more than one occasion, I'll only ever shoot them when there's steel behind them.
NO, THEY JUST DONE THE JOB ANY OLD WAY THEY THOUGHT FIT, EVEN 12FT LB GO'S THREW ROOFS, AS YOU AND I AND EVERY ONE WITH ANY SENSE KNOW'S,
As someone who shoots feral's on a daily basis in barns and judging by the marks on the beams I'd say you haven't turned down power and as of the shooting at 9mins I'd call that an excuse for bad marksmanship.
Good shooting Guys , great video .
Thanks Richard, glad you liked it.
I used to hunt pigeons with a shotgun over rape-seed plots in North Yorkshire many years ago. Never fancied pigeon meat myself, but others do, and the local butcher was certainly happy to take them off my hands in exchange for a cut of something else in his shop. Do you do the same, or do you burn them like the rats you kill? Just curious. Good shooting, and thanks for sharing!
You should show more of the entrance/ exit wounds to show the placement as well as expansion
I kept holding me breath waiting for the shot. I can't help it :-)
Good hunting 🐥🐁🐇
Thanks mate.
Top blokes!
We think so lol. Thanks for watching.
Good news is we got the pigeons. Bad news is the roof now leaks.
Nope. No holes made.
When I finally get out to the country, I'll give the shotguns a break and find a farmer that could use a hand like this.....ahhh hell, I'll use the shotgun outside too! Lol
Great job 😊
Great video.
Thanks for watching.
Great video. Good shooting. However, nobody is using eye protection. Hopefully those pellets lose a lot of energy after they hit the target or bounce off of a beam.
Anybody thinking about bullet holes in the roof ?
Aye. Keep up the good work. Miss my shooting!
Thanks robin I have never used a fac air rifle just 17hmrs and 22lrs can you tell me realistically what sort of range they can reach out to there seems to be a lot of difference when you look at some forums thanks again
GOOD shots, Mate! :)
Do you have to worry about pellets piercing the ceiling or walls?
They sure are dumb birds. I was surprised that they would all just continue to sit there as other birds were falling all around them. Great for pest control!
Michael Preyer thing is it was pitch black in there so they couldn’t see.
The power can be turned right down on these rifles so the pellet doesn’t go through. It might put a small dent here and there but it’s a small price to pay compared to the damage these tree rats cause.
@@TeamFoxer - Thank you for the reply! I really appreciate it. There are SO many benefits to using the air rifles! The best pigeon is a dead pigeon.
wat you will do with all this hunting pigeon
Well done
Jörg P thanks for watching.
