The Airgun Show - double hunting episode with crows, pigeons and squirrels in the crosshairs…

Спорт

We have two hunting trips this week, and in the first one Mat Manning is out on a roving session in the woods. Target species are pigeons, corvids and grey squirrels, and Mat puts his FX Impact Mk2 to work to make a nice mixed bag.
In our second hunting instalment, Richard Saunders is ambushing quarry from a hide. He’s zeroing in on crows and grey squirrels, and manages to capture some great scope-cam footage as the action unfolds.

    Why shoot a cute cuddly squirrel that;s not doing anyone any harm? Shooting rats seems fair but to shoot a cat, pigeon, squirrel? come on.

    Hi Casey. Unfortunately grey squirrels are almost wholly responsible for the near disappearance of our native red squirrel. They also predate on song bird chicks and eggs and are believed to be largely responsible for the decline in field and dormice as they are able to eat food before it is ripe thereby denying it to mice when they come out of hibernation. Its not their fault of course, but they are invasive and destructive species. I hope that explains why they are the focus of pest control. As I said on my film, they had started nesting in the roof space of cottages on one of my permissions, causing damage and potentially a fire risk. Please be assured that the squirrels shot did not go to waste. Mine were given to a bird of prey centre.

    Borderline psychopath mate. Don’t get how you can kill an animal and then just smile and congratulate yourself.
