Air Rifle Hunting, Spring Powered Magpie Hunt

I filmed this just after Halloween last year and to be honest if i hadn't off messed up on the last magpie i would have kept the film for another DVD as there was some very nice footage from two points of view, but that's hunting and filming for you.
Rifle Weihrauch HW97 .177cal 12.6ft/lb
Scope MTC mamba lite 3 12x44 scb
Pellet .177cal H&N FTT
Hide (The Bush) chair hide.

[@terrywright5306]

I like the " Old technology ",comment. Spring rifles are every bit as good as PCP guns in the right hands. No need for oxygen bottles and all the hundreds of pounds worth of equipment required to use them. I own a AA ProSport in fac .177 which takes rabbits, crows, etc with body shots well out past 50 yards, no bother. Give me a quality spring gun any day over all those over priced and over rated PCP guns.

[@HuntersVermin]

Terry Wright I have to agree as a well sorted spring air rifle is a pleasure to shoot without having to worry about how many shots you've taken or how much of a charge is in the tank.

[@gp3829]

Again, nice shooting and video. I noticed the parliament of Magpies in the nearby trees and couldn't help wondering if you saw any songbirds that day.

[@HuntersVermin]

Sorry i can't really mind as it was a good while ago, could you hear any bird song on the video?

[@vajake1]

The reverse camera "b" footage was a very nice touch! Bravo! That's really a nice stock on that rifle!

[@HuntersVermin]

vajake1 Thank you very much glad you liked it.

[@terrywright5306]

I don't know how we managed before PCP rifles, with all these main spring failures and weakenings. When I was a kid I owned a BSA Meteor. 177, I used it every day for years, never serviced, never oiled, I didn't know about cleaning barrels and well abused it. It's still in my gun cabinet and still work's as good as it did the first time I used it, that's 37 years ago. OK I have cleaned it now and lubricated it, but I know that if I needed a gun to shoot a magpie in the garden, this would still do the job as good as any thousand pound PCP.

[@HuntersVermin]

Terry Wright I agree as i have had little problems with my pcp's now and again while the springer is much more reliable even though it did break a spring once.

[@bobbythompson3544]

David as another gentleman mentioned in the comments magpies know a decoy to be dead or false, in my own experience this is quite true, however I got around that by setting out a nest of eggs, little rubber eggs and crack a couple of bantams eggs with them to simulate a clutch of pheasant eggs, I also made myself a little trough with some cheap coarse breakfast cereal I got at Lidl, I gave them a free day then attacked the next day, my hide is permanent, really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!

[@HuntersVermin]

Yes very good, i've used a fake nest made from raffia and delf eggs which worked a treat. Before i got the pop up chair hide i used permanent hides all the time and they worked very well if you can keep them well maintained.

[@GunnySonics]

Another cracking video David, i appreciate the considerable time and effort put in to your video's pal and my regular saturday viewing involves a few drams and watching your films, thanks pal, great work as usual.

[@HuntersVermin]

Gunny Highwayman Thanks very much glad you've enjoyed them so much.

[@regsparkes6507]

I rather enjoyed this video. The Weirauch HW97 is a good rifle by the looks of the shooting you've done. I'm glad you put this up on KZbin, as I'm a subscriber of yours and I do like this entertainment. Thank you for this.

[@HuntersVermin]

[@RemcoPetersen]

Nice, 4 magpies quite a result. Good shooting all clean headshots. And always very nice footage, very funny that little camera in a couple leaves.

[@HuntersVermin]

Remco Petersen The little action cam worked well this time with no steaming up as i bored half a dozen 6mm holes in the base of the case, that'l teach it.

Beautiful gun and another good 1. Your experiences with not only the wildlife but the equipment too are so real. I sometimes forget to hit record too. But when i do, ITS THE BEST SHOT OF THE DAY.....lol! I still to this day drive home angry at myself when that happens......lol!

[@HuntersVermin]

gary pue Thanks glad you liked it.

[@siliquaesid703]

Excellent video. Top tip though, set up the ones you shoot as more decoys. The more there are the more come in as they want to know what is going on. They know a dead bird and will be more wary IMHO.

[@ShiftingMetal]

Nice video, seems the Magpie decoy made quite the difference. 4 lovely shots by the looks of it :)

[@HuntersVermin]

HoldoverTV Yeah if only i'd put the decoy out earlier i might have saved myself an hour or so but then sometimes it works better without a decoy.

[@DragonoftheEastblu]

That is a damn nice rifle! I love the paint work on it too.

[@HuntersVermin]

***** Thanks, but its not really paint as its a laminated stock made up off different colored pieces of wood.

[@BullseyeBob]

Best video out there with the HW97. Thank you!!

[@hardihood1]

The magpies have bin watching your KZbin videos and caught on to your decoy with a dead magpie. Their smarter than we thought. But still a nice day out doors and a few shots.

[@HuntersVermin]

hardihood1 Yeah the more i hit them the smarter they get as the one's around my home have been proving very difficult to out smart recently.

[@NotHisRealName]

Nice shooting. I was questioning your logic on the lever-cocking, spring powered air rifle in the hide, but you seemed to manage well.

[@HuntersVermin]

I use a Brocock 1.77 or my BSA ultra SE and I struggle sometimes even with PCP's so hat off to you for the under lever!! My permission is mainly magpies and other corvids and have learnt a lot from you so thanks and keep the vids coming.

[@mrbadx19]

Daniel Martin, he doesn't like taking those shots because he's not sure of the range, you have to get a range then get the proper holdover, and maybe being 50-100 yards out with a wind, it gets difficult to gauge without wind socks and such.

[@hoppobun7]

Great shooting David, i only use my springers for target shooting i prefer pcp,s for hunting, but you did a great job with the hw97, thanks for the vids. atb brian

[@HuntersVermin]

hoppobun7 Yeah i usually go for my BSA super10 for this but there's just something about hunting with a springer that takes me back all those years.

[@franciscopeixoto6609]

Great shooting. Gotta love the HW97. You've changed the stock?

[@casperboo5465]

Nice little bag there Dave, cracking shooting, Cheers

[@leswhinn]

Good Vid again Davy, might be a good idea not sure but if the Magpies are in the frame ...off to slight left/right and can still be seen when your shooting instead of moving the cam so Magpie is centred just take the shot, Saves time and we'll all see it happen and you'll get more of them..I know only too well the beggars don't stand still for very long..speed is essential, I got 4 the other morning also a Crow and a Jay left them out for Mr. Fox over night, the next day i got 2 more magpies and went to pick them up and the others we're still there where i'd left them, only thing that had happened to them was Mr. Fox had took a Dump on them lol....Dirty Dog!! Happy hunting Davy

[@sqhunter65]

nice rifle that all i hunt with but in 22cal and they work fine.

[@HuntersVermin]

sq hunter I'd like to try the .20 some time to see if it has more knock down power than the .177 i have but other wise its a very accurate rifle.

[@MrCauphy]

Yet another great video David. Did you give up on the army surplus or have just bought newer patterned stuff? ATB Chris

[@HuntersVermin]

MrCauphy No the army surplus is fine for the warmer weather but when your sitting in a hide for hours with no movement i like something a little warmer to wear.

[@stevengwinnell8560]

Another good shootin david. By any chance have u changed the stock on your 97 in your tune up vid u got a black synthetic stock love the laminated stock

[@HuntersVermin]

[@stevengwinnell8560]

HuntersVermin looks the buisness mate carefull not to chip it when ur out its easy done lol

[@lilcorky250]

Hi there, I love watching your videos and seeing the different ways that you shoot! Keep up the good work :) I have one question, do decoys work as well on a grass meadow than on a stubble field?! I have looked at getting pigeon decoys as I have a .22 air rifle and a hide but didn't know if it is worth it? Thanks

[@HuntersVermin]

lilcorky250 If you want to decoy wood pigeons you'l need decoys and they'l work best on a freshly cut stubble field as there is plenty of food for the birds to feed on. They might work on a grass meadow if you set up under a pigeon flight line as pigeons use the same route from one place to another like we use roads, if you set up under one of these you'l have a good chance to decoy them down. I use a full bodied flocked decoy.

[@MrCW1979]

Love the camo tape on the barrel. I've not long had a "to do" with my HW95 and could do with covering up the scratches. Where could I find the same tape as yours ? 👍🏻

[@HuntersVermin]

I'm not sure as the roll has no name on it but i think its the Allen Cloth Camo Tape.

[@billy1858]

how long can you leave the rifle cocked without damaging the spring? thanks.

[@HuntersVermin]

I have left my rifle cocked for an hour or so without any problems but i have had comments from other subscribers who have left springers cocked for much longer with no damage.

[@tracker1955]

David, don't know if you will see this as this was an old video, but what action cam are you using? I just got an sj7000 a few weeks ago from Amazon, and it is working well for me.

[@HuntersVermin]

+Thomas Beauchamp I got one of the AEE cam's the reason i went for it over the likes of a gopro was everything cam with it including a bigger battery which i get about 4 hours out of which was the selling point for me.

[@pfs8966]

Nice video...what pellet and scope were you using? 77SE is my favorite. Thanks

[@HuntersVermin]

pfs896 I think was using the H&N FTT pellets and the MTC 3-12x44 Mamba Lite.

[@bunnyblatter1]

Nice laminate stock on the 97 mate

[@HuntersVermin]

bunnyblatter1 Thanks, its heavier than the plastic one but i like it.

[@stamastoby]

I see your 97 has a laminate stock. Here in the states you can buy the 77 with that stock, they call it the special edition. Did you buy the 97 like that or did you fit it to a 77 stock?

[@HuntersVermin]

***** I bought my HW97 with the black synthetic stock then managed to buy the laminated stock from a HW77 on ebay which was a perfect fit.

[@squeak83uk2]

is your actioncam is a gopro? and if so do you use extended batteries / external charger packs?

[@HuntersVermin]

squeak83uk2 No its an AEE magicam as it came with a extended battery which gives me about 4 hours continuous recording.

[@MyRose911]

great vids very enjoyable to watch thanks when you shoot woodies when you have decoys out do you collect each one in after you kill it or can you just retrieve them at the end? my thinking is if they see you bobbing in and out of the hide after every kill would it put them off

[@HuntersVermin]

MyRose911 With Woodie's I usual wait and see how the incoming birds react to the bird I've just shot because if its lying face down it will act like a decoy and the birds should keep landing but if its on its back the incoming birds will veer off and not land so you need to leave the hide to ether retrieve it or set it up as a decoy.

[@MyRose911]

thanks and make more films :)

+Alonso Soria Thanks for watching.

[@gezb8035]

What about trying a longer stick as ur marker stick, one around 4 feet so the birds can land on it i used that a long time ago as i think they stick around a bit longer! Maybe due to not being to see as well in rough, longer grass,as they can on a taller stick. So its a safety issue for them!

[@HuntersVermin]

Gez B I found by accident some time ago that the birds like to sit on my range marker stick, maybe they just like to be that little bit above ground be for they fully commit themselves, i don't really know. I do at times try and look for a stick with a side branch on it for the birds to sit on but in the heat of the moment you pick up what ever you can find to get set up and in the hide quickly.

[@gezb8035]

You could carry a old walking stick with a sharpened tip maybe?

[@HuntersVermin]

That might be a bit too long but it might be worth looking at carrying a suitable stick with me on future hunts.

I don't know if your FAC class of air rifles manufacturers make any springers over 12 ft/lb for you, but my springer ( License need ) I use in Canada is more then enough to drop game as large as Raccoons at 30 to 40 yards. They are very accurate as long as you use pellets over the 8.2 grain weight in .177/4.5mm. living in an area were many people work in a city and live on small farms (10 to 40 acres), but do not hunt or know much about firearms I get asked to remove pest of the furry type. P.S. your videos helped me get permission to dairy and beef farms for bird control. Thanks...

I'm pretty sure he's addressed the issue of keeping his spring-powered guns loaded in another video. But the reasoning seems sound - it's generally not long and has shown no determent to the spring. I had a quick look to see if I could find the video where he talks about it, but it's not jumping out at me. Sorry.

[@mous6879]

question:does this gun in .177 drop magpies and jackdaws with heartshots?

[@HuntersVermin]

Yes my .177 12ft/lb HW97 will drop magpies etc with a heart shot out to 30-35 yards cleanly but i have noticed with the .177 compared to the .22cal that some times even with a well struck bird that they can fly off a short distance before dropping dead as the .177 doesn't impart as much knock down power as the bigger .22cal does.

[@HuntersVermin]

+kimbo53898 Yum chocolate muffins, i usually have a big bowl of mini weetabix which keeps me going for a good few hours in the hide, as for the dog food on tin foil i have never tried that but it might work though being something a magpie would rarely see in the country side it might spook them as well, i have tried bread as bait and it works well but it can be hard getting a shot off as the birds will usually fly in grab as piece and away again before you get a shot off unless you use big enough pieces that they cant carry off.

[@oldcutler100]

I am interested in a spring powered pellet riffle. Are they pretty durable, and i noticed u cocked the riffle, how long can u cock the riffle, before shooting. Any maintenance?

[@HuntersVermin]

Yes most spring powered air rifles should be pretty durable especially the likes of the higher end makes like Weihrauch, Diana or Airarms , If you look after them they should last you a life time with little more than a wipe down with an oily rag before you put it away. Keeping the rifle cocked for an hour or two shouldn't do it any harm but depending on how much shooting you do the main spring and piston seals may need changed after a few years but you can buy tuning kits for these rifles which you can fit yourself to revamp the rifle back to new if not better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYKkm2iweb6dn5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3TCaHVpe9p-iKc

is it possible to hunt small game with an air rifle in Irland for an outlandish from Norway?

[@HuntersVermin]

You can shoot the likes of rabbits and crows in Ireland all year round so long as you have land that you have permission to shoot over, but both in the North and South of Ireland you need a licence to buy and use an air rifle for hunting.

if a farmer in Irland invite me, I have the right to shoot? would you? lol

[@pyrofful]

I like using spring powered air rifles because they are cheaper than the fancy new ones. Which spring .22 air rifle did you have that you chose not to use? Could you tell me the name of the .22 cal you usually use please? I have a spring powered .22 now and love the power but it's not real precise. I can hit pest critters @ about 10 yrds with a red dot but no farther because it doesn't group well past that. Thanks. Btw great shot i always have to go for a heart shot but thats great you can go for head shots.

[@HuntersVermin]

My first air rifle was a .22cal HW80 but its not on my licence at the minute so i can't use it. I usually use ether a BSA Superten or Theoben MFR pcp powered air rifles in .22cal for this sort of hunting but i wanted to see how good a springer would work on this hunt.

[@pyrofful]

My thoughts are with you guys with all that paper work just for a pellet gun. Lol. Ok thanks for listing them. I am using a cheapo kodiak silver x2 with the .22 barrel and love the power vs the 177 on birds. My gun isn't accurate past 10 yrds for me free hand and it could shoot better but i go free hand since i usually don't have a nice rest. Also my $100 wal-fart gun isn't probably as accurate as yours. Thanks for the reply

[@pyrofful]

Oh dang i just looked up the price tag on those guns and see why there so good.....there expensive. Some day i want a pcp air rifle. Thanks again!

[@HuntersVermin]

Yeah there not cheap like some of the Daystate and FX guns are just made money for an air rifle but there are cheaper pcp and spring guns out there that can shoot just as good in the right hands.

[@pyrofful]

You get what you pay for too i guess. The seals and internals are probably better built

[@danielmartin1939]

Yes magpies are good for the ecosystem as they and other corvids are very good at cleaning up road kill and other carcasses but they also pray on ground nesting birds and song birds nest eggs and chicks so if there is a large number of magpies in an area there will be fewer song birds.
