I don't usually post on the hunting gate much but found this one to be a worthy massacre I would start by saying the feeder in the photo is 2 days old and i have put it back on the shepherds hook at least three times a day both days and could never get a glems of the vandalist doing it. the other day i finished my cfx project guns lather walther barrel swap and man is she accurate SUPER accurate so now she rezised next to the door in hopes we could catch ourselves a seed thief. so about an hour ago i put the feeder back up on the hook one more time and entered the house and sat down and something told me you should take a look at the feeder so i got up went to the door and sure enough there he was hanging by his rear legs from the shepards hook trying to knock off the feeder so i got the cfx slid the door open and took a careful aim crosshairs glued to his ear and let it fly. the sound that pellet made when it struck home was no doubt the loudest thud of a pellet meeting skull that i have ever heard and to my surprise the tough little critter pulled off at least three good sized back flips before expiring.
The gun ...Gamo CFX freshly tuned w/new LW barrel shooting jsb exact 8.4 at 850 fps the distance was 35 yards.
