.22 Ghost Carbine XR Pigeon Kills…💥

[Luis Leon]

Went down to the dairy that is no more, they do keep ducks, chickens, Guinea hens and Peacocks. And do still have at least two dozen cows. Anyway the action was slow today I had two sparrow kills at 25 and 35 yards…. Was about to leave when I noticed a flock of pigeons on top of the pictured silo. I got as close as the hay wagon you see me bending over. 68 range finder measured yards. 3 MOA of holdover and 1 MOA of hold off for the wind. Four back to back kills. My wife took the pictures of me from behind. In one of the live pictures you can see the pigeon at the shot crash diving into the lower roof. I dropped one bird on top of the silo, so I climbed up there to take a photo and to drop the body down. The Ghost was simply murderous today. I typically leave pigeons alone if they are in pairs, but this was a flock and I will be back…

Looks like lots of fun. Why do you leave them alone unless it’s a flock?

Yes definitely fun when everything goes right like today. Prior to going out I did some plinking out to 60 yards in my backyard. The plinking confirms my zero and holdovers and makes for high confidence pesting. As for leaving mating pairs alone? The romantic in me doesn’t let me interfere in that union. Plus that pair will make more pigeons… But when I see a flock atop a silo like today? Well then its game on and I decimate them without mercy. After the fourth kill today, they simply stopped returning to the silo.
