Pellet power & performance - hunting feral pigeons in the farmyard
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2012
- Using high speed video we illustrate how the pellet flies through the air and the compensation you need to make a clean kill. We are after feral pigeons sitting on rooftops at all ranges. The pigeons are making a real mess of a grain store so we need to act quickly and efficiently with an Air Arms 410IS. We also discover the importance of making sure your pellets don't get knocked and distorted. Roy Lupton is handling the airgun and, to provide balance, Mark Gilchrist has a shotgun. This film was first shown in Fieldsports Britain episode 145. To watch the whole show go to Fcha.nl/fieldsportsbritain145

Why shoot pigeons?
The woodpigeon is recognised as the UK’s number one agricultural pest and causes millions of pounds of damage (AHDB consultation 10-40% loss in yield. Equivalent loss of £125/ha for Oil Seed Rape, £250/ha for peas, £350-£1250/ha for brassicas) to agricultural crops every year including cereals, brassicas, oilseed rape, peas and salad crops. Pigeon damage reduces the yield, quality, appearance and ultimately the saleability of the crop. Pigeons can also cause damage in gardens and allotments - pecking at the leaves and ripping off portions, often leaving just the stalks and larger leaf veins. They may also attack and strip buds, leaves and fruits off trees and bushes.
The UK woodpigeon population was last estimated at 5.4 million pairs in 2009. Densities of wood pigeon are the highest in Eastern England, coinciding with the highest concentration of horticultural production.
Wild pigeon (game) is natural and free range, and it is one of the healthiest meats available today. It’s low in cholesterol and high in protein… and, quite simply, delicious.

2:11 that eye shot though
Felt squirmy after that ngl
@@jjsells___ ughhh i was just boutta comment that this shots so gross😂

Needed to see this, I have one on my roof 24/7 that I can't get rid of. It's shitting everywhere.
😂
I have a bunch... they shit all over the place...
Shoot it
...
Ya And thats what pigeons do what do you expect..
@@VaginasIayer lol
2:09 oh god that pigeons eyeball went pop
Ur Clapped oh god
Ur Clapped You could see all the eye juices and the exit wound
Oh
that was so satisfying
@@R9naldo no it wasnt
2:10 DAYUM that was a good shot
Slip Slap that eye juice though
eye eye captain
Love it.
Shen Shy Ooooohhhh, internet badasss here. You’re really scary. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats not good😡
Good shooting. All these tree huggers don't know how life is on the farm
Yeah
pete peters tree huggers hah
Your a bit random
Shen Shy so then, you like man sausage
you choose to be a farmer, so don't blame nature for getting in the way of your ambitions or occupation. Respect life.
4:14 when cod players are shooting guns in real life
"Sniping's a good job, mate"
"you fruit shop owner!"
Although this is painful for me to see, Pigeons do become a common pest and I understand the farmers perspective of killing them.
Banana bird I wish they didn’t have bacteria so I could eat them
You can just pluck them then clean them off
I wanted to ask if pigeons are aware that they are pest in the farm coz what i know is bird is naturally doing that ..... Nvm
@@IOIO_OIOI-f6z You're most likely right about that part, but they probably just don't know that they're being pests.
@@skeletonjanitor What-
From N. Kentucky: Bloody good shooting, mate. Had my TX200 almost 24 years now!!
that was some nice shooting there boys
This is so satisfying.
Why? An innocent sentient animal is getting its life unnecessarily taken away for another humans satisfaction? What is satisfactory about that?
@@lukeevans525 its funny thats why
@@ryancevans1984 😂😂😂
@@lukeevans525 they are bloody pests
@@Tripoloski132 well yeah they make a noise and they eat everything but then again I do that. 😂
The narrator was the real jewel of the video
Awesome video, love to see more.
Some good shooting there. Well done fellas.
what airgun is best to take down pests like pigeons, squirrel over the distance of about 500 to 800ft? i want to know some budget options.
Nice shots. I hope you're still shooting til this day.
This was in my recommended and I have a pet pigeon lmao
imma give ur pigeon a headshot Like that one 2:10
2:11 that birds eye
does anyone know what scope hes using?
Great shooting roy and mark!!
Love it, to keep numbers down its the only way.
No, its just the easy way for fools. there is a way for birth control, in germany it works on many places (but not every Village/City has it). Pigeons are pets, domesticated to produce many eggs as possible. This spread of pigeons is the fault of humans, thats not natural. But yes for an American guy shooting is the only possible way to solve problems with "nature".
@@nixwissen6564 you sound like one of those people who don’t understand that hunting is good for the environment. Population management. Fucking birth control for birds while predators eat them can’t be good. Pigeons are not domesticated either, it’s a wild animal. What a stupid comment you made.
@@nixwissen6564 why don’t you keep all pigeons in your house then? IDIOT
Mike tyson would be pissed if he seen this
I am wandering how much is a rifle like this one in the video
What caliber is it ? And what weight are the pellet and how much power is the riffle ?
This is so satisfactory
what gun do you use?
Hi . I what to make a course to learn shooting and take authorisation. From where?
Hi - go and speak to your local gun club or target range. / Charlie
were can i get one of those cameras?
beautiful head shot
Wish I could do this type stuff for a film
what pellets is he using? they look like gamo hunter but im not sure...please tell me a good pellet for hunting im looking forward to getting in air rifle shooting
can you answer me, what kind of pellets are you using? thx
no
No - feral pigeons don't taste good like woodpigeons. Some are fed to the ferrets, the rest are rendered.
Now a days people be like: Oi, you got a license for that?
Just say yes mate and show em "the bird"
nice vid , well done some great shooting
Are hollow-points best for a direct kill or the sharp spearlike pellets?
Nobody agrees. I know one airgun writer who swears by roundheads. / Charlie
Very remarkable shots! Pigeons are nasty.
You are nasty.you don't have heart.
Pigeons are the symbols of peace
@@trna2604 that’s a dove
The dislikes comes from people preferring giving a slow, painful death to pests with poison while potentially endangering the ecosystem intead of simply shooting
No, the dislikes are from angry vegans. (Also, sorry about the late reply.)
They also watch pigeon yiff on Reddit, plus they’re virgins.
@@wawameemaw Your profile picture is the problem. Also the fact that you’re a fan of Changed.

The blast was satisfying 1:35

Who else sees a sloth in the thumbnail?!?!
Thanks for potting those winged rats. Never pleased with disease spreaders and grain thieves. Thanks for removing them.
MomanSLM no all animals are beautiful so shut up
@@godzilla-9810 no
The Pasty yes
@@godzilla-9810 seagulls and pigeons are fucking stupid
Godzilla - PETA lover. Some animals are pests and cause more bad then good. Pigeons carry sickness.
Where can you buy the air rifle and how much $
Nice shoot
I cant find one hunting video where they just get to the point, stop talking, and start hunting.
i would love to have that job
Me too, but with the pigeon replaced by YOU.
@@uryoutube Seriously, why
@@uryoutube then that would be considered 1st degree murder. If it was him(he's a human if you didn't realize you dull tree hugging twat)
@@uryoutube look at this cool dude
for some reason my brocock enigma as long as it likes the pellet in the first place will fire it straight anyway i have shot pellets with the skirt bent in all directions and it will still hit dead center of the target
very good job
I want to show this to a vegan
@Alden Buyer how
2:10 HEAD SHOT
2 question:
1) Wouldn't the pellet damage the farm roof?
2) If the dead pigeon fail to roll off the roof how to deal with the non accessible carcass?
Ik its 5 years later, but you climb up with a stick and push it off and they don't damage metal after going through a pigeon
And pidgeon may get eaten by raptors
a ladder
it depend how much power the riffle have and what pellets they use. For pigeons you dont need to much power so it's easy to manage it in a way that it'll not damage the roof. With 0,70 grams pellets and under 24 joules the roof should be fine.
Wear gloves much?
You eat these?
rocky balboa Yes
Sweet!
Great, could you be so kind to share some recipes! I'm starting a channel on cooking in the great outdoors, very exciting!!!
rocky balboa hmm I’ve never made some myself but I will try to find a recipe
rocky balboa here’s the type I normally have everydayfrenchchef.com/recipes/poultry/pigeon-roti/
I thought the thumbnail was a sloth
