Super shot placement and pic's Carlos he didn't stand a chance with that shot. :o :) Ed

Very good! Ditto to what Ed said!
-
Very nice. You nailed it with excellent shot placement. The 850 rules, hehe :) It loves Superdomes and CPHP's.
-
WoWO what a nice shot! I can't aim at the eyes of anything it creeps me out. (Which makes no sense at all)
What a fantastic shot! MORE! (there are addicts here....somewhere) :D
-
thanx guys....i forgot to mention that when the pellet hit him it knocked him backwards and i heard a low grrrrr.......it was pretty cool...never heard a crow growl before.........
-
The "grrrrr" you heard was most likely the crow chocking in its own blood (blood in the trachea), ie: trying to breathe. It's actually like gargle sound when air is mixed in with blood in their nose and trachea (air passages). A few critters I have shot (squirrels, Groundhogs, and a possum) make that sound when that condition develops after getting shot in the head. It sounds like a "low growling" but it's them chocking before they expire.
I did have a Groundhog really growl at me though when I got close to it after it was paralyzed or something from the shot and wasn't going anywhere but still alive. I backed up and he stopped growling. I advanced again and he growled again. It was the same as a cat when it's pis*ed - that deep growling coming from the back of the throat or chest (not hissing).

starting the day with a crow is special nice shot
