Bird Watching "Airgun Style" [Pest Bird Hunting] - Episode 1

[@65LB]

The serious/humorous side of Ted in this one

[@dxburner222]

I don't know why people get so pissed at these videos... It's pest control for fuck sake

[@markyd601]

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 !! 👍👍👍

[@perfectannihilation1295]

What constitutes a pest? I am curious.

[@TheZombieburner]

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.

[@perfectannihilation1295]

*****​​ Thank you for taking the time.

[@PaldinX4]

dxburner222 people are stupid that's why

[@nocknock31]

I was eating popcorn like this was a movie

[@nickpadula3365]

"I'm pretty sure their just sexual predators" XD

[@graphiteguy9028]

😂😂😂

[@Truth72500]

@Hunter Doucette lol

[@joemenendez8030]

guys chill out he's not hunting, he's just bird watching with a gun

[@phantonsfishing6948]

Lol I'm gonna go say that to every hater on any hunting vid

[@peterlangkamdoungel1422]

worst video i had ever watch only bla bla bla and more bla.

[@griffinpyros2887]

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.

[@bsjcook]

Ted, you were in rare form - please keep it up (the humor).... :)

[@timdreger3]

I"m a little older than you and we had the "EXACT" gun growning up. It brought back soo many memories, it's one of the reasons why I joined the military and later became a NINJA. Great videos, once I started (2.5 hrs ago) I viewed "ALL" of them in a row, I couldn't stop watching them. You have a true talent. I love the Tongue and cheek WI humor and graphics/sound effects (you put a lot of time into your stuff...Your doing a lot for the cause..Keep them coming.

[@wesley83able]

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!!!

[@JM10344]

I miss these old ones, teaching us so much about birds, air guns.

[@USAFORMERUSMC]

I live in Los Angeles. I can only dream of freedom like this.

[@BlackrockLobbyist]

statements like that make me sad

[@USAFORMERUSMC]

randomGUY843 Brings a tear to the eye dosnt it?....snif snif

[@tonyel120]

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).

[@USAFORMERUSMC]

WILLIAM D'AGOSTINO No, your mom did that for us.......and so much more.

[@BlackrockLobbyist]

USAFORMERUSMC *spits drink

[@persons9408]

*The name of the air gun he has is longer than the list of chores my mom gives me when she’s in a bad mood.*

[@chazzthomas6800]

He's helping to eradicate an invasive species. GET OVER IT.

[@christritschler1586]

Really ? Does that actually work ?

[@RohtoUser]

Chris Tritschler lol if you love those pests so much why dont you gather them up and pay for the damages they cause lol

[@fdsbabwino]

Invasive espécies? What about the white man?

[@lemontainment374]

z Ir Some blacks rob the whites soo (NOT TRYING TO BE RACIST)... PEST CONTROL!!!!!

[@fdsbabwino]

Lemontainment man, I live in Europe I hope they dont shoot my ass.

[@ThePhan7em]

I have to say, your videos are by far the best on youtube, you camera work is great, (love the slow motion) and your informative and entertaining. Great video once again.

[@UnknownReloader]

Grackle? Protected? Uh, oops...

[@helicrashpro]

Ted, seriously I love your channel. I have seen this vid SEVERAL times and it's still extremely entertaining. I wish you would do more vids like this one. Not that I don't like the gun review vids but you put out so few vids per year and I could watch a vid like this one every week if you put one out that often.

[@peabase]

Hilarious. It's those who have an romanticised view of nature (and who're hopelessly urbanised) that feel an overpowering need to criticise this.

[@intentionalmonk]

Probably their hippie relatives are the ones who wanted the Shakespeare feeling in NYC when the EuroStarlings were introduced. ugh

[@peabase]

***** So you hate songbirds?

[@bradleyhamilton4409]

***** Actually I do hunt, the only thing you are killing is my brain cells by reading your comments.

[@bradleyhamilton4409]

***** Says the 9 year old who can't punctuate.

[@peabase]

WILLIAM D'AGOSTINO So you hate songbirds?

[@michaeltuber4036]

Dude. You're KILLIN me with the commentary. You're hilarious lol.

[@brandonwildman4768]

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.

[@Hieraaetusmoorei]

What are you talking about, there is no difference, humans aee animals, obviously.

[@lgnlint]

Hieraaetusmoorei Either you know what he meant and are just being obtuse, or are hopelessly moronic.

[@brandonwildman4768]

Ch0plol I like you.

[@canuck21]

Why would we keep to ourselves when KZbin 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.

[@W4RD1N8ER]

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?

[@tubaplayer92]

This video has my two favorite things: bird watching and killing starlings! Love your channel

[@snarkishone]

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.

[@coryeiler43]

You sir are awesome

[@TheZombieburner]

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.

[@christopherworth1]

***** 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.

[@Fooballfreak12]

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.

[@willphelps6715]

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.

[@Koaslice191]

TOO DAMN FUNNY!!! That last "bird" was PRICELESS!!!

[@jamessmaby8758]

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.

[@africanairgunner4427]

bird watching with a gun attached >>> my favourite pastime !!100 % hilarious !!!

[@lostattheoffice1984]

omg! the narration is on point!

[@gdwgdw11]

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.

[@syntactyx]

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.

[@syntactyx]

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.

[@SnazzyZubloids]

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.

[@TheMinecraftMeme]

Spork

[@douglaslbrimer]

You are absolutely freaking KRAZYYYYYYYY. I luv you man , keep up with all the airgun stuff. I have a new love for airguns since I found your postings. Thanks a million. I love the Edgun and would love one for myself. Love takin down the Double Breasted Matress Thrasher when ever I find a decent example. Thank You Tim for the great fun with the airguns.

[@swooshbear6285]

The hippies, they're everywhere...

[@quenmoomoo]

And this bird sounds just like every shopping cart at your local grocery store lmao great video!!!

[@ObliviousBurrito]

Liberal tears are the sweetest tasting nectar.

[@joeypeach5593]

+nathan wicks where's that anger?

[@systemofadown12222]

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?

[@systemofadown12222]

nvm my brain did me a solid and I remembered it's aphex twin. :)

[@nemesis9330]

LOL

[@matthewe4024]

GIMMIE THAT NECTAR

[@davidschmidt6013]

"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.

[@AsPectT]

I only have 6% women on my channel and they might be sexual predators 😂 that was so funny

[@graphiteguy9028]

😂😂😂

[@Isotope123]

Your the man Ted. You have inspired me to purchase my first PCP after years of pumpers and springers. And a great educator at that! Thank you for all you do for the young hunting community and old too.

[@josephroxursox]

wow.. u used to make jokes in ur videos!

[@INTNSE8]

Chipping Sparrows are just the sweetest things

[@MrSkelton12]

notice how the starling flinches on the blank fire shot,i think explains that they dont actually see the bullet coming just hear the shot a slight secong befor bullet impact

[@rktman1965]

"double breasted mattress thrasher" I love this guy lol

[@JuniorWA]

ive never ever heard him crack jokes like that LMAO

[@2xtrmshot]

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...

[@ryman4760]

Love your sense of humor and level headed outlook. Keep up the good work!

[@DevDoesAThing]

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"

[@golem2154]

One of the few channels about hunting that have a sense of humor

[@daviduresti]

LMAO! I love the narration. You need your own TV show.

[@derickmills8729]

"Oh look, here's a European Starling or as they are known in Europe, a Starling." Lmao. Great video. Keep up the good work, Ted.

[@tupolev141]

You make it look so easy! I just bought an air rifle, I watched too many youtube air rifle videos to resist any longer. I've been shooting firearms for years, but unfortunately I live in a country where only criminals are allowed to have guns so I handed them in. After 5 years of not shooting anything, my aim is all over the place mainly because of my breathing. Keep posting, it just might shorten my learning curve :-)

[@coyotesnper]

I am captivated by your humor. All vids are great. Keep it up.

[@blue2824]

I always enjoy your videos but this one had me rolling on the floor. Thanks for another great one!

[@xtrimling]

when he pull that giant "telescope out" i was like "holy mammasiida"

[@thomasT1006]

Absolutely hilarious humor.Great video Ted,and the Matador is definitely an awsome hunting tool for taking out predators. Mine is definitely having it's fair share of squirrels.

[@adambacker8178]

great sense of humour, you use some really smart airrifles, and shoot well. keep up the good work and amusing vids

[@timennis3456]

ROTF LMAO! 🤣👍👍👌 Quell no more! Keep up the great work. Thank you. I needed a good laugh!

[@mke9314]

your the same guy who pops a gasket when he cant fine his favorite organic taco at the co-op. Im dying hahahahhahaha

[@MrThisDarkness]

6:27 giant mosquito xD that cracked me up

[@orionfleming6783]

The barn swallows song sounds like the wheels on every cart in my local grocery store...

[@colorcountrykid]

Saw your videos for the first time today and became an instant fan!

[@iwasborntohunt357]

Alright I have been watching your videos for a while now and all I can say is you are Amazing! Keep the videos coming!

[@MrBojangals817]

Bird watching airgun style = best title ever.

[@hamzakhansial]

hi ted can you explain scope parallax error . my CP scope cross hair moves when i move my eye ?

[@alexjones189]

The best commentaryof all time!

[@CryptidWalks]

I love the narration , made me laugh several times, keep up the great shows.

[@xeeweexRC]

Man, you are hilarious! I love your comedy.

[@CraigArndt]

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.

[@giorgosioannou9899]

hi really nice video. what pellets you use?

[@reMARKable118]

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)

[@Sandstorm9562]

Have grackles always been a protected species or is that particular to Wisconsin? Back in high school (around 20 yrs ago) we used to have big grackle shoots. All the birds were used as teaching aids for a taxidermy class in the school

[@2bonosc]

of course after a while ( the stung) pests came back. i wish i could afford a pcp. Any ideas on economical pcp for average guys?

[@agustinsantillan3536]

Master tea i wanted to ask a question ... i have a 5.5mm rifle shooting q has the Cano enderieso lifted if it does not strip with this much power, I wanted to know if I can install a look in that state

[@5t4uRight]

These videos are awesome! I love the humor!

[@gunlokman]

I don't shoot, have any feelings ether way about birds (or mosquitoes) but I love your vid. Very interesting and amusing take on life generally. I guess certain folks who commented negatively didn't take notice of your warning at the beginning! Pity they can't take a 'get a life and a sense of humour pill! Great work!

[@Notadoc22]

Ted, do you have a .22 marauder, and if so could you do some long range accuracy tests please? Thanks so much for your videos.

[@videoduds123]

I love your cheeky commentary, keep up the good work!

[@sandevil20]

The commentary on this one was quite funny, it earn you my subscription.

[@happycrazyugly]

@EdgunUSA where did you get your gun, for how much, and do they sell other guns?

[@phymat1]

Love the voiceover; both entertaining and informative. Keep `em coming!

[@alrodrodriguez]

you make for sure the best airgun hunting vids out there kep it up

[@foximus1100]

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.

[@eman11052]

@EdgunUSA when you zoom in on your targets really close is that just your scope or the camera zooming in?

[@jbojm9]

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.

[@stevewalker576]

Ted cracks me up, and enlightens at the same time!

[@Riyame]

I love this video. The humor is great. "Two for flinchin", as well as 8:58.

[@congiorgi9465]

ive been watching ur vids for ages now and this video has driven me to subscribe :)

[@MrDkarp1]

This channel has been around a few years now, and he is doing nothing illegal. If you take the time to listen, he only shoots birds considered as varmints/vermin/pests, etc. (European starlings, sparrows, etc) He also hunts doves, rabbits, etc and follows all game laws and hunting seasons when doing so. There is nothing illegal going on in his videos.

[@mrdbld22]

Loved the commentary in this one haha, great videos, keep 'em coming!

[@tripcunningham6864]

Hilarious! This is my favorite installment...............keep 'em coming!

[@BionicMinecraft]

lol I love your telescope. When you said that you should use a telescope to watch birds and then pulled your gun up I laughed sooo hard great joke. Keep up the great vids!

[@stoke05]

I always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Thank You.

[@FreeWorld937]

at 0:27 it reminded me of "The Christmas Story" whenever the kids lays doen all thr deets on the bb gun he wants

[@Lyecdevf]

"but he only won silver." Lol, I love your jokes! ;)

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

[@sierratango23]

In Texas it's not illegal to shoot grackles so we blast them

[@blacklabelqlewis]

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

[@stanfordcoffee]

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")

[@Cloverofminecraftia]

I'm not a sexual predator, I simply like your videos and how you show new skills.

[@shaynluciano1]

Ted your probably one of the funniest guys I've ever watched!! Your videos are always so hilarious! love the short films at the end!! you remind me much of Myself. You should come to Kansas for some pests control!! keep up the good work on your videos! And if you ever come to Kansas I'll put you on alot of pests!! God bless!

[@Skratche17]

Indeed, it is not only entertaining but informative. The man who made this video is an encyclopedia of useful hunting information which I do indeed put to use in my own life. And as for the people who watch these videos... well you're proof that a fair amount are actually keyboard warriors and armchair activists going about looking for people to insult and things to "protect" to give themselves a sense of self worth in their otherwise devoid life. People who like this are decent and polite.

[@blacklabelqlewis]

Btw, since when are grackles protected in WI? I was sure they were fine to shoot

[@smoothieking157]

do you think a supressed subsonic .22 LR would be quiet enough for the type of hunting you do?
