« on: May 23, 2010, 12:32:08 PM »
Some starlings came into a few chicken bones i tossed under a tree by my feeder at 25 yards all of them spooked quick but this juvi stayed a tad to long never will he se his sophmore year . I also tossed into the pic  my new rosewood handle buck knife $65 with leather case real smooth. Fum week with the carbine lots of pests bit it for a quick cheap meal

Nice shooting. They all seem to be a little more fun when you have baited them in.

Nice shot Chris.  I am surprised the Starlings are still going after chicken during the warm months.  They used to go crazy over the chicken and turkey bones over the winter.  I don't know what has happened to all the Starlings around me.  Maybe because I wiped out 1 and a half to 1 and 3/4 flocks over the winter.  So far this spring I have only seen 2 birds which were hanging out together on my lawn but took off when I put the window up.  I think the rest won't come near my property after shooting them all winter long :)
