What is a grackle?

 

[just country]

morning, grackles r a black bird related to the magpie. the crap everywhere

fly in flocks. eat anything and everything. lay down a taco, they will

steal the taco, sandwich, chips anything that is eatable. I try to kill 10 or more

a week. these birds r a real problem here in TX. they breed year around.

we have feral pigeons. during dove season the season is on for grackles and

feral pigeons. THK. U lightbulbgun)

Ahhh, Yah. I have those annoying birds. they come in by the 100's and clean out my bird feeders. hate them very much. Noisy things too!

I certainly enjoy this thread and pictures. I carry a Browning Buck Mark to pop close squirrels and rabbits because of the big scopes on my squirrel rifles, scopes that won't quickly adjust to within very close range.

Yeah on that, patience.

I carry my Browning BuckMark hunting and am waiting for the Feds to drop the regulations on suppressors so I can add a can to my Browning and a few rifles.

Can't find the pic but one upon a time I made a great 25 yard shot on a squirrel with my 1858 Remington C&B revolver. I have always been quite proud of that shot.

I hunt with a T/C contender 10" SS 22LR match barrel with a burris 2x7 pistol scope. Usually shoot CCI SGB. I also hunt with a S&W model 17- iron sights and a Stoeger copy of the High Standard supermatic military - iron sights. The T/C is like hunting with a rifle. It is the only pistol I have shot 5 squirrels off the same tree. It was a Hickory nut tree early in the season. 4 head shots and one shoulder shot. I love squirrel hunting as I see more game in the woods of all varieties during those hunts. Dad got me hooked at age 7 on my first hunt. Hunted then with a .410 single barrel. I started my kids and grandkids out around age 10.

Never even thought of trying squirrels with a pistol. Great shooting for sure!

I hunt them with a high standard and a scope. But I also have a squirrel dog so am just shooting them from under the tree
