I love how ethical he is, and how important it is to him to make a clean kill and making sure that not even a pigeon suffers from a bad shot.
Mee too
4:50 When he snipped that male pigeon the only thing that I thought of was this:
Dude go ask her out.
I don't know man.
Come on. The worse thing she could do is say no.
Well...
Just go for it.
You're right, what's the worst that can happen?
Hey baby you liking these cirlces?
*Enter Ted*
That's why I don't ask people out
McNibbles 420 damn snipers are everywhere..
"life's to short to be a dick" Ted's HoldOver 2014
Those birds have families back in the nest. What's the best way to learn the nest location so I can cook the mama bird in an omelette of its eggs? Is it possible to shoot a tracker on the mama bird without killing it so it gets back to the nest with me not far behind? Awesome videos!
Best comment of the year confirmed
It taste so good when you kill a mama bird then take her eggs, go home make an omelette and put her cooked breast meat in it. Then violently chop it all up too cause a toxic masculinity affect. Thus getting retards upset over human nature.
my favorite part about you Ted, is that you eat what you kill. you are not just mindlessly shoot just to kill, Respect!
I would just like to point out that this guy is not trying to hurt the pigeons, he is trying to kill them (an odd but important distinction). He's not trying to make the animals suffer. He's trying to eliminate a pest bird cleanly and humanly. In addition to this, he makes sure that the animals aren't wasted! I true hunter through and through
Delicious hater tears and piegon pie
mmmm my favorite
These are seriously some of the best videos on RUclips. SUPER educational and entertaining.
Your shooting expertise is complemented nicely by your video editing expertise. Both very nicely done.
Ted, thanks for your explanations. I have been learning a lot about shooting at different angles from watching and re-watching your videos.Very few people here in the Ozarks shoot air rifles.
You are the first person on earth who showed me that math is actually usefull. :-)
You must be really dumb if you just reaized that math is goof for something...
And since when do you know me? I think you are not in the right postition to say that my friend.
so hypothetically u can take a dump and shoot some pigeons at the same time?
Oh, shit guys, he's gonna make a video about making pigeon pie out of dead pigeons...
...THE HORROR...!!!
Watch, he's going to meet the same fate as Marie Callender, making Chicken Pot Pie out of dead Chicken Pots. #sarcasm
man I get excited when these come out. I've never even shot a gun but your camera work and explanations of everything make these videos a joy to watch! keep them coming ted!
if only the education system could make topics as enjoyable to learn as you present them.
back when i was in highschool i wouldn't have given the slightest shit about trigonometry or all the other various applied mathematics in your videos.
but you make it so interesting that as soon as i see your video on the feed i immediately stop any other videos.
as always, fantastic video, informative as ever. cant wait for your pigeon pie video.
Trigonometry was the only advanced math i ever was good at. I'm glad to see it used in a cool manner.
Im not a hunter, but man, loving your precision and analysis of the wind and surroundings. Dope as hell!
Awesome when people let their abandoned properties be used by FD for training. The real thing prepares you more than any academy prop
Extremely professional and humane. The sign of a hunter who enjoys his craft without causing undue misery on the things he hunts.
Ted is that mold behind you? Be careful my cousin is a mover and he got really sick after he emptied out a house that had been filled with mold.
Seriously, kids should not underestimate trigonometry. As an engineering student this stuff is used every single day for me.
Ted, Very very nice shooting and hunting,,,, you are a genius hunter,,,, i would like to get/have your exact experience shooting in such a strong wind .... thanks for taking time and provide us such a nice vid ...
I really appreciate the efforts you take for the follow up shots to avoid letting them suffer before dying.
Ted, I love your videos, your attitude, and outlook on life. I do have a question you could maybe answer? How are you able to tell how many mildots you need to hold over? How are you judging the wind and how much to dope? Are you using a anemometer + a phone app? I'd really appreciate a reply. Thanks, Ted.
Visit my blog, and watch the video "my favorite exercise for shooting in wind". :)
tedsholdover.com/2014/04/16/hunting-pigeons-from-the-bathroom/
+Justins1877 Maybe I can help. I am a trained shooter. Scope training with "sniper" rifles and handguns are my specialty.
The way you use mildots: You use them as a reference point. In order to judge wind and distance you can use a variety of tools. You can lick your finger to tell which way the wind is moving. You can use shrubs or leaves blowing in the wind. You can use electronics, weather reports, etc.
Once you accurately judge the wind to be at a certain wind speed you can then adjust your shot to correspond with the wind difference.
In order to that it does however take training. No one can really explain it to you in a comment section. Once you learn the technical side of it and the math, it then becomes second nature and you eventually just get a "feel" for it.
Ted I just subbed and i've been loving your videos
Elements of urban exploration, pest plinking, maths, and philosophy. This is a very cool video.
Another great vid! I really enjoy hearing the science behind the shots as well seeing the pigeons headed for the pie!
I am back into airguns after a 10 year hiatus, and well a lot of things have changed form guns to pellets and even game!
Just wanted to say I have watched hundreds if not more air gun videos and I find yours to be the very best of the best!....thanks for your insight knowledge and more importantly your time in shearing them with us!
Wow, amazing shots. You makes this looks so easy.
I am absolutely astonished at the math you do. This is the best way to learn how to "snipe" accept one goes floop and one goes boom.
Ted said : Thank you for watching... and I say: thank you for posting!
I never thought trigonometry would apply to my life.
Lol I know what you mean
I'm in trig now. I never would have believed any of that crap was worth learning.
Finalsuspect1468 I'm in game programming and regret not listening in trig class.
@Hugh O'Brien Completely agree sir! Was the exact same for me...
Finally a dose of Ted :)
I just recently implemented a regulator in my evanix rainstorm. And boy oh boy is it a joy to shoot. Hitting targets with groups of half inch precision at 100 yards. Thats what airgun shooting is all about. Constant improvement.
Glad to see more videos Ted
i am one of those sick people, but i also did enjoy you opening your heart and pondering life in the abandoned house, it changed my mind set for today
Hunting pigeons is pest control...its also damn funny!
Ditto !!!
Its refreshing to see someone so passionate about something. I can tell it truly makes you happy. Good job Dude.
For some reason I can't even explain why..that looks fun lol
We exist because we kill.. So that's why its fun.
True that.
Kenneth Hill so cruel
4:36 - Pigeon: "I just wanted to get laaaiiiddd!!!"
You should get more into competition shooting. I wanna see you become famous! (well, more famous)
i dont care what all of these haters are saying you are a genuine hunter and a humaine hunter who leaves no injured animals behind and for that i think you are awesome
Another great video. Keep them coming
What can be more satisfying than this? Sitting ON the toilet and taking the shot. Don't get my hopes up like that.
YOU ROCK TED!!!!!
Ted, No surprise you do so well at the Arizona bench rest event, great explanation of the conditions and sighting calculations as always. thanks.
Well done. Good hunting and good video.
Have you ever read Andrew Blechmans Pigeon.. They are actually quite facinating birds.. and tasty too.
Pigeons are flying rats. They can do a lot of damage on a farm or to your paint job on your vehicle.
For all of those posting about how bad killing pigeons is, please remember a few things.1. You can eat pigeon.And 2. Birds are the only animals on the earth that cannot be counted or estimated.Scientist can estimate approx how many insects there are, but say there are far more birds than there are insects.
Love your videos as always ted! Thanks for the info!
the first gun i ever used was a daisy powerline 880 but after realising that it wasnt strong enough i purchased a benjamin trail. For living out in the country in illinois the gun does the trick
I wouldn't want to spend time in there.
thanks for adding the bit of ballistics in this video. it's nice to see that you really know every aspect of your craft. (as if there was any question)
cheers,
Brian
I wanna stick with you during the zombie apocalypse.
He shoot's fucking pellet guns though, that isn't a gun that is for hunting zombies.
***** I would choose Hickok45 for that.
Real guns or not he's damn good at shooting
Shantel Bock Better than some, worse than others.
Id rather choose fpsrussia or demolition ranch
People underestimate Air Guns & I get surprised sometimes too,... I took my heavy & clunky but powerful Umarex Octane .22 to the range & a pretty standard 14.3 grain pellet flew 100 yards & still went through & through a half gallon plastic milk jug !... I don't wanna get hit with that.
yes, delicious pigeon pie please,,
Being a video pro I can appreciate all the extra time that went into the post production. Thank you! It adds a lot!! Your channel is quickly becoming my favorite. Cheers.
Ok, am I the only one wondering why people watch hunting videos just to bitch and complain. If you don't agree with hunting, then why do you people even watch these videos?!
Good shots. And i like your mentality never leave a wounded bird suffering. Looking forward to your next videos.
Yours,
Bart
How dare you shoot inocent birds ........... and not invite me to eat them jeez
Hahaha
hahaha me too!
Next video: how to make a pigeon pie so dry, your entire party will choke and die
You are a BOSS!!!!!
When I read the video title I was afraid you were shooting pigeons while dropping a deuce!
"lifes too long to be a dick.."
*shoots helpless pigeons just for the sake of making a video*
right...
I didn't say that he was wasting his life, I was talking about you.
I'm not wasting my time, arguing with little kids who play minecraft amuses me. Now hop along and make a skyrim video. Oh and whats your job? Are you a pokemon trainer?
Well youre clearly not a good father if you are wasting your time on youtube arguing with people you low life. Goodbye.
nicholas jones I would suggest you slap your self.
you didnt see the end of the video i assume -- he collects and cooks the birds. so... what is the harm in killing birds and cooking them? you dont kill things to eat them?
ted,you did a show on the fx boss but never said about the problems of not being able to get your eye to the scope because of the way its built......
Jeez I wonder if these animal rights People are going to comment on this video?
LOL ur right the hippies will ramble on this vid
Retrobensan jeez, calm down, they aren't suffering
REEEEEEEE
when can you make another spearfishing video?
I understand that pigeons are a pain in the ass but i feel bad for it
Yea
***** what are you morons! he was beaten in childhood( to assert themselves defenceless birds! I personally would have stuffed him face!!!
museack I don't think he was suggesting otherwise.
museack
Why would i want a labotomy and be a vegetable?
When did i say i felt pain for it? i felt bad but i noticed he is a good hunter and if it doesn't die and it manages to get away he chases it down and then finishs it
This guy is cool,and I enjoyed the 1.5 minute rant,it was truthful.
killing birds while make shit , this is a nice lifestyle.
Pigeons are useless,freeloading,disease carrying, droppings on cars and rooftops pest.
Keepskatin Isnt that the occupy movement ??
You you can leave the video at any time
You're an excellent marksman and you've become quite the internet personality.
All you bleeding heart cry baby's make me laugh! You knew what this vid was about,but yet you still chose to click and watch so u could whine any way lol. Another great video Ted ;)! Awesome KY windage too. I killed 2 dove in one shot out of my bedroom window last year,it was only 20yds away though and both were on the ground. I used the "Gamo Whisper" 1200fps .177 with the scope it came with. Caught them walking towards each other,and used the ambush method waiting for the exact moment there heads lined up. I know you can reproduce that same shot,only at 5 times that distance or more with the rifles and scope/camera you have. Sure would be cool to see it done with a Pellet Rifle like yours that is more than capable of head shots at those distances 8) just a though bud.
Watching those pigeons eat it has been deeply satisfying.
Don't want to offend someone, but why is this guy killing them? He gona eat them, or sell them...? Some pigeons are edible... even delicious... If he'll use them for something it's ok, BUT if it's just for... Idk... Fun...? Then it's plain retarded... Makes no sence killing something for no reason... Even if they anoy him it's no reason to kill them new ones will come so killing is usless. It seems that this guy is just plain duschbag.
One more thing... People being all like "Stupid Americans"... Dusches like this are everywhere killing for fun... (no im not from America im European )
Sry... Sounds kinda stupid... Didn't mean THIS guy like guy in video... But like... This type of guy... Like Type i was talking 'bout in text... Sry english isn't my native so i have some problems with expressing my self...
Marko Miljevic Right at 9:33 guy...
*****
Ik... I said i didn't mean that...
*****
Ok... But that killing makes some point!!! There are people killing just because its "FUN" for them...
Sorry for the harsh comment above. I hadn't expanded the discussion and read your follow ups. Kjell makes very good points.
I don't remember how I came across your channel, but I love these videos. Excellent camera work, narration, and of course shooting!
Animal kill for eat......
You kill for fun....
Hope someday, your eyeball pecked by bird...
God infinite justice....
Act kill because self defence, hungry, self esteem, emotional, uncontrollable situation is can be forgiven. But kill for fun is vile act and worst ever.
teddy budiman you wrong !!!!" The end of video we see him eating the bird.
Winda Rosalina its alibi, I can see deep in his eyes. Just all for fun.
Winda Rosalina you look video in 04:45. A pair of pigeon were making out. Suddenly..bang !!!... he killed the male. What do you think about this ??
Hope someday, you learn how speak proper English before embarrass yourself.
Pigeon pie, with seasoning you could probably make it taste like anything. Wouldn't want to eat it unless I had no other choices.
people like you are evil killing innocent birds I bet that bird had a family
Ugh just shut up already do you think people here care about your whining
+Ronny Torres 🆙yours! 🅰 hole
Dude pest control
y'all are both some of a bitchs
+Tyler Blu Gunderson I loled so hard at your ignorance.
Allot of people will probably say that's cruel to the birds, but it happens and good on you Ted for reacting as fast as you did for the follow up shot. Great videos keep them up.
dude....this is wrong
How? I'm not trying to start an epic flame war, I just want to hear your logic.
***** ok than how would you fell if i kill your mother or someone you love with a sniper. i know you maybe say its just a bird but... well your just a human...
Nikola Nikolic Birds are less capable of feeling emotions as strong as humans. Hunting is completely natural, these birds were killed quickly and not wasted. They needed to be killed because they were ruining the ecosystem around them and were becoming a nuisance.
Nikola Nikolic that argument is stupid. Humans in their own mind feel more important than animals so no logical person is going to consider that a valid argument. Second if killing were legal people would be killing each other in a heartbeat make no mistake about that they do it now just with consequences. The fact of the matter is hunting those birds is completely legal and also encouraged, even by bird loving groups. Why? Because they are an aggressive pest bird that damages native species and also causes massive damage to crops which also damages the Money they make and even more also damages the produce that is in the markets for you vegetarians, or at your fast food places for all you hypocritical meat eaters because make no mistake its affects the cattle too because of how much these pest birds can consume. So please take your "argument" somewhere else because you're making yourself look silly by not using real facts and details that are provided to you by the guy making the videos.
Nikola Nikolic You're comparing a pigeon who is probably carrying so many illnesses, to a human mother? Look, I'm all for animal rights and all, but pigeons are terrible, they get people ill, they spread disease, they're like sewer rats but they fly. And plus, they breed like fucking bunnies, their population is getting out of hand, we need to do what this guy is doing more often.
Did you already have the camera running inside the barn or did I catch an acted out shot?
I was just wondering if you can make a quick video on a good gun similar to the bobcat but not as much.
i know its going to be a good day when i see one of your updates
That last shot is my favorite shot, and when the bird is "broadside" just above the wing when using a air rifle just drops them. now... where is that pie video I'm hungry
I love Teds videos. Always so well done and informative. I love the corn flying out of the birds crop....never even heard of a crop.
May not have been your best day hunting, but this is your best hunting video to date. I enjoyed the anatomy explanation of the kill shots! And I appreciate seeing your follow up shot when initially wounding your target.
Fair play for showing your follow up shots ted
I like the preview of what's coming up next. Keeps things interesting.
That pigeon pie sounds like a plan for dinner! Also can you combine the pigeons and the doves?
I wonder how well the .25 cal would work on geese? Just curious on your thoughts. Keep them vids coming.
what is that bomb falling sound effect after every shot?
I'm really excited for this pigeon pie video. You've turned me on to small game birds as a meal in Dove Cleaning and Cooking (Re: Dove Hunting with Edgun Matador PCP Air Rifle)
What is the knife you're flicking at the end of the video?
Thanks for the speedy response...Any chance in gettin a quick detailed more in depth look at the cam mount. I have several sunshades and the caps for my sidewinder, seems that is majority of what is used. Just trying to rule out as much trial and error as possible. Since you seemed so confident that this is the end all cam mount
See my blog: tedsholdover.com/2014/04/16/hunting-pigeons-from-the-bathroom/
Just picked up a Benjamin Maurader last night. Going rabbit hunting for the first time this weekend. Wish me luck. Your videos have not only inspired me, but they have given me the confidence to go out there and give it a shot (pun intended.) Thanks.
Hey ted I got an account just to say that I love you videos and you are just so fun to watch and it's always nice to see you put up a new video so thanks
You should have been a military sniper, it's always a pleasure to watch you work...
You do this right man. Its not pretty work (no hunting is), and too many of these basic youtube commenters don't understand that. However it is necessary, and you do it very meticulously, with all focus given to an instantly fatal and painless shot. Best of all, you don't let them go to waste! Good work!
Say Ted... Djust out of curiositie, do you hae your own air compressor to charge your rifles? Oar do you use a scuba tank and then refill the tank at a dealer? If you yuse a tank, hou many rifle charges do you get out of one tank charge?
I vary much enjoy your airgunning videos, hope you continue to make many moore. Not djust for the hunting aspect, but for the technicale expertize you bring, esxplaining hou tradjectories are calculated, optimal muzzel velocities, best pelets, etc.
Quick question for you Ted, and anyone else who happens to be watching that has ten cents to their name, how long would you allow a kill to sit out before refrigeration? Considering that you live North and I live in Texas (~85F) what would you personally consider an acceptable time-frame to collect that kill and still consider it edible?
Why is he so concerned about ricochet from so far away? And what happened if it does ricochet?
