The firearm thread

[eldog]

Easy. Poison 'em.
So yeah. Wrong thread

Them birds way tooo smart for dat.
Tried, got a few, they breed faster.
nah, hence on here.

A) Air rifle, crack shot. Pigeons are pretty big, mostly static targets at just 15m. Even a .22 hollow-point would largely disintegrate provided you don't miss.

B) Poison, nets, spikes, fake hawks

C) Real hawks, starved

D) Cherry picker (shoot the wall not the roof)

A. 15m straight up, usually 20m-40m they love corners and recesses.
B. Tried poison, too cunning. Nets too difficult. Fake hawks and sounds - tried and utterly useless, environment too noisy during day for them to worry. Lights no effect. They don't really like lasers they just turn around.
C. Haven't seen any.
D. This may be part of solution, one area is almost without access.

well anything you can clock a pigeon at 20m with would do. that's chineseshit B3 model territory for me.
you probably want something more expensive. fwb, diana, weirhauch, webley. .22 will be more versatile than. 177, "fps" is horseshit marketing hype. "fpe" is a truer indication of cop-kIlling ability.
dont buy from humping and fisting or gun shitty. dont buy gamo, crosman or "beretta"

longs or better shorts. fucken squibs would do at that range. LR will drill a pigeon. even subs, even at that range, even hp.

B) Poison,

mmmmmeehhhh. possible but not probable.
best bet would be the "hot foot" shit, which i think is now illegal.
actually feeding poison to birds: not effective

no.
m=v2 or some shit.

[GazzaH]

E) Cats on high wires

F) Shoot though a skylight

G) Klystrons (pointed up, remotely switched)

H) Carbon monoxide

fuck you're shit.
give it to a real man.
also hi-mounts and irons.
or canted irons (so you can pose while pretending you can shoot) need the 45• rails though.

fucken townies. when you put 5 in the X let me know eh

Fair enough. Go for the slug gun then. Head shot at 20m. Take a while though if they get spooked and you have to keep going away and coming back.

I did work in a big warehouse once when they brought in a poison man to clear out about a hundred pigeons. He just chucked more poisoned seed on the floor every morning when he came in to pick up the bodies. Seemed to sort out about half the remaining population every day.
We found a few bodies that he missed though, stuck up on beams... sometimes bits of a body would fall down after the maggots had eaten it in half

.22 was suggested by a customer who had similar problem....

F) Shoot though a skylight

Cat impossible, they are too smart
skylight, it's a 30 degree roof from memory forget that
klystrons?
CO, it's too windy

they don't get spooked, that I can assure you.
Hot foot, I know it works but goes hard
looking at cherry picker and blocking/making perches difficult or painful, bird spikes to stop nesting
a .22 would be last resort

[T.W.R]

.410 shotty with cartridges loaded with rock salt or a .22 with quail cartridges
