: Starling hunt
: April 20, 2007, 06:22:19 AM

I got up early this morning about 6:45 headed out to my shop to see what wildlife was about. I saw a huge turkey buzzard, bunch of barn swallows and this guy! They make nests in my barn so they are fair game! Took me an hour and a half to get a good shot at him, they land and then fly away quickly. Took it with my Gamo hunter 440 with a BSA Scope and a pretty gold trigger, The scope mounts are rimfire .22 mounts cost me 30 bucks but they are solid as a rock!

Getting up at the break of dawn tomorrow see what happens.  I did go to the back of my property today though and saw what the turkey buzard was flying around for. A skunk carcass, Don't know how it died but there it was about 200 yards from my house. Those buzzards are really cool to see.
