After some rest time yesterday I headed out to slew with the tuned QB78 looking for some feathered target's. As usual when I enter the shaded area of the tree's they take flight, no biggie for it gives me time to blend in with Ma Nature. The weather has been perfect for the CO2 hunter's and this was the first of the year for the 78 so we settled in. Ten minutes pass and they start to move back into the tree's with me just laying in the tall grass and next to a bush hehehe. I picked one out and with a CHP loaded I put the crosshairs on his chest, "POP" and at 20yrd's he just fold's his wing's and drop's with light's out. I lost count of how many were in the tree's but over half took flight and the other's squacked down at there buddy. Loaded another and got him at about the same distance and with that the rest took off to the next line of tree's. If I move now the rest will take off so I loaded another and gessing at about 30 or so yrd's locked onto a little fella, he spun like a top on the way down but his or her mate hung there calling out, that one joined the other shortly.:) The QB is deadly accurate and performed flawlessly, rain started to fall so I grabbed the vermin from their resting spot's and headed home, don't want to get her wet. Lifes always' better when your hiding in the grass dropping Grackles lol. Ed

Way to go Ed, Ma Nature can be some of the best medicine. I tried to get a few of those vermin yesterday afternoon, but for some reason they just wouldn't come to the back yard. If the rain stops I'll get them this afternoon, seems that somebody popped some corn lastnight and forgot to close it up,hehe.
