I saw this one playing around with a grass hopper from my window... so i loaded up my Beeman, cracked the window and put the second circle of the bdc reticle on his back and fired. He fell over dead without a twich or a sound, and i saved the grass hopper at the same time... well atleast until my pet lizard got him. lol

Good shot, shooting mocking birds is illegal in Texas I think... we have a ton on them here
it's the state bird.

The 850 Store

a Cardinal.

The state bird for Minnesota is the mosquito

The 850 Store

in kansas is the telephone pole....that's why their state bird...(Western Meadowlark)....is a ground nestor...

nice shooting skills, but let these little ones fly off. Crows, rats, snakes and big fat rabbits what we are after.

What scope do you use?

I don't think we have one now, but in 1940 it was probably an HE111!
And we needed the RAF to swat it! Bill.

I'd fancy a shot at a ME109, they had varying plumage.

Hi Roald - ours must have been a mutant or a sub - species, - it rejoiced
in the name of Gustav- and often had a yellow nose,not a yellow tail -
maybe it had mis-mated with the FW 190 - aka the Butcher bird! Bill
