Their intelligence level is lacking !!! And they aren't happy unless they are bitching about nothing , I've watched near all of teds vids and he only shoots pest birds , most of them on his neighbors farms , he does a service for his neighbors and at the same time gives adequate knowledge of how the rifles handle , how well the scopes are , what's rounds are best for his rifle , and some entertainment , all in one video , but stupid tree huggers are blinded by the fact that he didn't shoot some of the birds because the are useful pest controlling birds !! I myself am a big fan of ted's holdover and don't pay Much attention to the negativity the lesser minded gum bumpers bring , I still enjoy the videos !! 👍👍👍
Perfect Annihilation Kills native species, devours food sources wholesale, causes massive economic and ecological damage because it doesn't belong in this environment, has insufficient natural countermeasures to stop it, breeds like a rabbit orgy. In short, takes everything, contributes nothing, an ecological parasite. And before you place humans as pests, note that we are indigenous to our environment, do not necessarily cause massive ecological damage, and we DO have a place in the ecosystem. We may be an apex species, but we are decidedly not out of bounds, there are animals and plants that either prosper much more easily due to us, or actually NEED us as part of their life cycle.
As an old hippy(yes, I was at woodstock) and politically progressive, I would like to say that killing non native birds is the only way I know of to ensure the survival of the indigenous birds. If not, you will no longer see scarlet tanagers, cardinals, or blue birds. They just can't compete. What you will have is an overabundance of starlings and english sparrows, which, due to rapid overpopulation, will die with more pain and with greater suffering, from starvation Don't like to kill anything, in a perfect world I''d bicycle everywhere, eat seaweed, and play only acoustic instruments for my entertainment, but I have to drive a car for work, I'm typing this out on a laptop and I eat meat(no, it's not a religion) and I often hunt what I eat. Very simple solution to this video disturbing anyone...anyone can go to dancing cat videos instead. I hear they're very funny.
I'm not a hippy type at all, but I'll agree with you on this one. Too bad they took to living on this continent, really. If they hadn't, they'd be unharmed and I wouldn't need to pick them off my bird-feeder with a slingshot.
***** you can hit one with a sling shot?! pretty cool. Only way I could kill a starling with a slingshot would be to sneak up and club it to death with it.
I love barn swallows! Good on you for showing how removing introduced species actually helps our native birds! And also observing and protecting our native birds. Before doing this kind of hunting one must have a spotting scope to properly identify the species they are shooting! Some species look very similar and are difficult to properly identify. Know your birds before attempting to shoot anything!!!
I will never understand how people value animal life so much more than human life. Animals are not the same as humans. Dont treat them like they are. If you don't like the videos then please just keep to yourself.
Why would we keep to ourselves when RU-vid puts a comments section for us to comment? There's no rule that says the comments needs to be positive. Who says we value animal life more than human life? We just don't like animals being killed for nothing. Fast kill to eat fine, slow kill to eat wrong and killing for fun is wrong.
Who are you to judge what life is more important animal or man? we are out voted more species of animals than humans ever! they don't fuck up things here on earth like we do they do not cause global warming Animals did not cause Chernobyl and they certainly did not kill millions of Jews shall I go on? I used to think as you do and kill birds with my pellet gun for fun then I GREW UP! and realized who am I to take something's life from it why what was my reason? I had none Just a murderous asshole for nothing wow! what a life achievement oh my parents must be proud picking on animals, well dick head some of us just grow up and see the error of our ways and don't want to be murderers even if its cute like a bag of bunnies or ugly as sin. I only drop an animal for food I get one deer a season and maybe some rabbit or a turkey that's it, I did not want to continue taking lives of poor animals that didn't do anything wrong to anyone I wanted to be better than that. I took lives lots of them for nothing Now I live to better than that. I hunt and feed my kids only what I need and I don't waste an animal I thank it for the contribution it just made to my family I only hunt the seasons my freezer is empty it's not that their lives are worth more but maybe we can show them a little fucking respect is that too much to ask?
ObliviousBurrito I used to listen to the artist in your profile pic but now my brain is fried and I can't remember who he is. can you do me a solid and remind me?
California has the the most lenient laws when it comes to airguns.Everything you are allowed to hunt with a firearm you are with an airgun.Unfortunately I can't say the same thing for most everything else(except drugs lol).
Ted, You knocked this one out of the park, amigo. It's a whole new genre of Ted-vids to complement the best airgun reviews and hunting vids out there. Great editing and commentary. Must... have... more. Dan in Spokane.
You have a comedic gift, Lad. Great hunting skills as well. Thanks for reducing the Starling numbers. I hate those things. Huge flocks fly by making live tough for the eastern blue bird, which is trying to make a come back. I hope to join you in a few weeks when I leave this liberal hell hole (cough..nj...cough) for good.
holy cow.. total entertainment plus bird ed 101. glad I clicked on to this, now I m a big fan. I grew up hunting all sorts of birds. I guess like most hunters introduction to big game. your videos rock.. one of the best on you tube...
I just wanted to say thanks for getting me into airgunning. And your videos are hilarious. It's not often I watch a hunting video and roll around laughing.
Ted what have You been smoking ? You keep me laughing! So What PCP rifle would You recommend in .25 for under $500 need a reliable, accurate and powerful rifle mostly used for hunting some targeting and hand pump friendly. Your Vid of the Kral puncher breaker silent shows there are great affordable deals. Thanks for the great educational Video's.
"Double-breasted mattress thrasher..." LOL Great vid. The trivia about the various birds is always interesting, and indicative of how seriously (seriously!) you take your hobby/work. Doing the research is important when one is at such a level as yours. Keep up the great work.
this video is one of the few, original ideas that actually deserve to be on youtube, i got say tho, even tho I share your annoyance for pest birds and have done my share of target practice on them, after seeing, hearing the commentary on all the other birds, it kinda pulled at my heart strings to see those starlings go down (this is a complimet to you commentary)
Ahh I love Ted's videos. The simple fact of the matter is, he does not give a flying fuck what liberals, feminists, America-haters and others have to say about his videos. He just protects his crops and has a damn good time doing it. Individual freedom is a beautiful thing - Keep it up, Ted.
WILLIAM D'AGOSTINO Display of insensitivity? I didn't say a damn thing about the birds he was shooting, nor did I even allude to any sort of love of animal cruelty or mistreatment because I support no such thing. He is legally hunting these birds to maintain the efficacy of his farm, and the people who complain about that can just click away. You obviously have some issues with him by throwing out that empty "scumbag" insult, so why the fuck are you even watching these videos? Furthermore, my first statement was directed towards those who comment "shoot yourself in the head American moron," denigrate his character simply for the act of hunting itself, and those complaining about his sense of humor. Yes, he made sexist jokes, but are people really that intolerant that they can't even hear a joke they don't agree with without raging about it. That's my opinion. Oh, and I'm a junior Chemistry major at Cornell so don't fucking call me stupid.
WILLIAM DAGOSTINO Do you know how stupid YOU sound? This man lives on a farm that grows the food that you walk into the grocery store to buy. His neighbors raise the cattle you enjoy when you're in the back yard grilling or stopping by Wendy's for a cheeseburger, or enjoying that milk on your cereal. He's protecting YOUR best interests as well. European starlings are an aggressive, nasty species that is overpopulated and they chase off the beneficial songbirds and pest-control species with their aggression. They should never have been here in the first place. Kill them on sight.
Im crying literal tears at how funny the "two for flinching" blip was xD this is why I enjoy your videos snappy little comments like that and "Beating my pigeon meat"
it's important to have a good telescope, "this telescope is conveniently attached to a $1600.00, single shot, Ed Gun Matador, precharged pneumatic, .22 caliber, air rifle." .......Classic! (reminded me of "A Christmas Story")
Dude, I love your sense of humor. I just about died laughing at the end. Definitely add more of your made up bird names for things in your videos, that was amazing.
Got 15 hosp (house sparrows) today in my repeater trap. Took one near my feeder by 1377 with Crosman Premier hollow points. Just ordered my 2100 yesterday, can't wait to get it. It will give me a little more range than the 1377 and 1322.
epic. just started watching your vids yesterday. you give great advice, due to your skill and like minded approach to the comman shooter. that is a mighty fine air rifle aswell love the distance shots and the vid with the squirles in winter. the center mass shot on the one that was facing you was classic. just downloaded chairgun pro ganna give it a go and see what i can do with it. keep the vids coming.
Your videos are absolutely fantastic my friend. I do not think I have watched more than a few videos of anyone that I have subscribed to over the years but I have watched almost all of yours. Good job!
Another amazing video, it's always nice to see air rifle videos that aren't some shaky noob or a video of a dead animal. But don't dog techno too hard, a lot of what the mainstream gears is actually house, techno is a genre too. There is a lot of electronica out there you'd probably like. Trust me, I listen to a lot of genre/sub genres of it
I greatly enjoyed the video. There was a good bit of humor as well as educational information in this video. With that being said, if you feel the need to leave hate comments because you don't agree with what is happening then go advocate to the local government to have all birds protected, if you feel so strongly. If not then stfu and please go away.
It's illegal to kill grackles: According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, all wild birds that migrate through or are indigenous to Texas are protected from harm. ... According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website, the common grackle is one of the birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
I've shot competition, big bore Metallic Silhouette and long range field tactical, but until recently I had no idea air guns were as sophisticated as they clearly are. The squirrels I haven't grounded with a springer are so wary and elusive getting a shot now is difficult. So I borrow a neighbor's back yard now and a gain. We also use mil radian sub tensions for ranging. I'm impressed with the high level of air gunning and ranging. I need a good pcp. Perhaps you could recommend one or two.
Pardon me but....I happen to be a woman!!! I just want to say that I admire your attention to technique, and intent on the "one shot kill" I am an avid hunter myself and like you I place my shots so that when I fire I am either going to hit the target dead on or miss completely. Very rarely do I hit a target and have to take a second shot. By the way, squirrel tastes great!!!
@EdgunUSA A real nice 10/22 with a match barrel and trigger will cost less than 800 bucks and a decent 22LR suppressor will also cost under 400 bucs. Add to that the ATF fees and you can have a very accurate and very quite rifle set up for less than what you paid for that nice 1600 air rifle. I'm just saying. you have great videos and are very entertaining so I would love to see you evolve to something with more of a bang and maybe bigger game like Feral Hogs. :)
That's pretty fascinating, Freud. I'd like to hear your theory on exactly what kind of bastard gets onto this website to watch these hunting videos in the first place, and just what it does for him. Is that the good old boy's equivalent to what any normal person logs on here for, entertainment? Watching some grainy recording of an animal getting shot is the backwoods replacement for solitaire or minesweeper? Please enlighten us.
Realy interesting videos buddy ^^ Although I am not experienced at hunting at all, I realy enjoyed watching these videos. Best regards, and good hunting ^^
@EdgunUSA....really good work there....you have helped me identify those pesky starlings in my own yard....my cat will be gaining some pounds:-) ....I like crows as well , brilliant birds.
that's good ,,the double breasted mattress thatcher,,harvest as many you like no season limit ,,may be kept or realest back into the environment that they once roosted to pick a more suitable nesting mate .
The text has been translated, but if you don't mind ill send it to NYU, MIT and a few other places to be studied for the content of the text. Truly fascinating this language, we could have found a forgotten language, a momentous occasion if so.
Wow! Amazing. So, after you whack them, do you mount their teeny tiny little heads on your wall. You know, to show off to your friends.

hey man, your videos are really good! what is the name of your airgun? of all the videos I've seen it was the most accurate of all. what is the name and how much you paid for it? thanks
great educational vids. not killing just for the sake of it. i got rid of some crows and starlings today (only stung them with 425 fps) and sure enough along came cardinals wax wings and downy woodpeckers.
