But this time I was on the trigger of the Gamo Big Cat so I didn’t mind too much this time. Stopped by the dairy on the way home from work, I haven’t been down there for a week or more and I noticed the birds didn’t seem as spooky as they have been in the past. I pulled up and parked in the regular spot and noticed that two different groups of trees held a few birds. I managed to get the gun loaded and the window rolled down and couldn’t believe that the close birds were still there. I picked out a bird that was facing away from me and centered the cross hairs. At the shot this bird just dropped straight down and got hung up in the braches about 15 feet off the ground. When I moved my head away from the scope to reload the gun I was surprised to see that not one of the other birds flew away. I quickly loaded and prepared for a second shot, but I took to much time picking out the next bird and they all left just as I had made my decision. I then glanced over to the 36 yard tree and noticed 3 Starlings still sitting high up in the branches. I quickly made some AO adjustments and lined up for the shot, again I picked a bird facing straight away, aimed right at the back of his head and touched off the shot. Again this bird went straight for the ground without even twitching. I went and retrieved my two birds, both of which had landed in the water. Before leaving I walked across the street to the silage pits and missed an off hand shot a two Starlings standing side by side. But 2 clean kills in 3 shots is something I’ll take any day.
