What kind of "chickens" are those in the picture? I used to think my Crossman pump pellet rifle was really something, ahhh... I think not! Do you shoot the piggies in the head, or do chest shots work? Really cool, thanks for the pics
-
AWESOME Stuff there!! love me a airgun. keep them pics a comin!! dpgratz
-
Manny nice to see you again! Great pics. Super hunting!
Cipriano

awesome pics Manny! love to see pics of dead piggies! dirty buggers have overrun almost every corner of the U.S. btw do you tan the mongoose hides?
-
Nice shootin! What kind of air gun are you using? I just might have to get me one. I got ground squirrels in the wood shed that eat my garden every year and I have a gopher pit instead of a front yard. My son is a good shot with the bolt action .22, but we never seem to get them all.

Those Chickens are Peacocks, a bit like Turkey hunting ;)
Pigs are strickly taken with Headshots, this airguns are so accurate that I could hit a Quater at 50 all the times, some of them a Nickle

I hope your pigs hold still better than ours... It's almost impossible to consistently head shoot them here because of how much they move around.

I have .22 but my Hunting guns are .25 .357 and .452 ACP, the AR style gun that took that PeaHen is the .452 ACP
Most of my Guns are Korean Made

The .452 is a DAQ, American custom made gun

No, the move around just like yours, you gotta be patient and anticipate the shot, as the put the head down to feed be there already and meet them ;) ;) ;) ;)

Nice collection of guns there. Just curious. What's your day job?
Cipriano
-
Bounty hunter? ;)

Hey NP, I've always enjoyed your posts on here...curious if you would mind sharing the cost / source of that gorgeous .452 DAQ, American custom made gun?
Cheers!

I'm glad to hear you are making a few bows again Manny. I love to see your hunting photos, but the bow photos are really what makes me grin!

If you manage to get into the annual list ( he makes 50 guns a Year ) his guns are about 650 bucks, on the second hand market the value doubles, on this one I fabricated the forearm grip, I got some wood aftermarket pistol grips and adapter/AR buttstock, if I had to put this gun on the market would be for 1500 Bucks ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Just out of curiosity, how loud are these large caliber air rifles? I know they are not silent by any stretch of the imagination, but just how loud of a report to they create?
-
Yikes, to steep for this guy...maybe someday. Good luck on the hunt!
-
Maybe a bounty hunter Pat, but I also think he is a pork supplier ;)

This has gotten me wondering...Anybody every tried mongoose hide for a string?

I have always loved your pics of pellet gun hunting... :laugh:

Too much time hunting to make bows? Lol. Is there too much time taken hunting? Glad to see you again Manny, I look forward to seeing some of your snakey guava beauties again. The air guns are cool too. Danny

Pellet Gun Hunting is very similar to Bow Hunting in the sense that you have to get real close to your Quarry.
where it set it apart for me is that with how accurate they are I can thread the needle in very thick cover, and the fact that I take head shots and drop them on the spot I have no risk to lose them on the mean thick California Grass that makes tracking just about impossible

With your sense of high ethics and your persistence I would expect no less.
Sadly, I live in an area known for low hunting ethics...spray and pray, hail mary shots, and such are the norm. That ain't hunting. Manny is the consumate predator, striking with pinpoint accuracy for quick and humane kills. Love it! 'Sides, spoils less meat, and his nieghbors know what to do with a piggie!
