Mr Spock (Vulcan) can hunt!
Today I went to a heifer farm to do some pest control. Because there are calfs on the ground the pigeons are having a feast enjoying grain, molasses, and corn mixed into pigeon crack. The desperate rancher called and I was more than happy to test out the new Vulcan 25 on some welfare pigeons. The total today I shot today was 403 pigeons with a few Eurasian doves mixed in the count. It was a long 13 hour day and I wanted to get more photos for you guys but picking up that many birds was a real chore.
I piled the birds up after a few minutes of afternoon pigeon sniping and took this photo
Here is another pile of pigeons taken with the Vulcan. Not very artistic but damn I was pretty exhausted picking up all those feral freeloaders
So this was my take away on the Vulcan. Side cocking lever is really convenient, the magazine is not as cool as the EDgun or Cricket.

Hell they don’t Coda. I’ve shot many dogs that come flying down from the sky afterwards……lol
I thought about that but then my luck is some client will shoot the eye out of a 40K dollar heifer, suddenly my addiction just got a whole lot more expensive. Think of all the bullpups I could buy for 40K :rofl:
You should startup a pigeon safari by Airgun if you can get hundreds of them in a day. :5: Prairie dogs explode but they don’t flutter from the sky. 😆
grind those birds up and feed to the pigs
Looks like they got their bell rung by the Vulcan!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I get it and would do the same :smilen:

FF, they are busy doing the nastiest work, giving handies to raging bulls and then gloving up for the cow’s pleasure :suprisedn: Plus I love shooting airguns so I want him to call me for starlings, doves and rats as well. My hard work for him gets permission to dove hunt with my sons in September with no one else around.
Wow, I would think that the farmer would be happy to “clean up ” after you. 🙄

I started at just after 5AM and I finished just before 6PM. The gun kept it’s accuracy. The bolt is convenient but for this kind of shooting the magazine sucks. Today my fingers are worked, it feels like I have arthritis. Loading the EDgun is MUCH better. I will tell you one thing that is cool about the Vulcan. The fill probe fits super tightly into the fill hole. This allowed me to keep a ninja bottle attached while shooting.
Some of you may be wondering how to go full Wehrmacht on pigeons and shoot this many in a day. It takes a couple weeks worth of set up and understanding of pigeon behavior. First food to a pigeon is gold. They love food obviously. They cannot see well at night. They have 3 eating patterns. They love to be around other pigeons. They decoy well. So you have the farmer dump corn and meal everyday in a preordained area. It is important that the pigeons get harassed around the farm as much as possible except where the food is laid out. This continues for 2-3 weeks. The pigeons will begin to imprint that area. After the pigeons imprint they will return to that area even if the food is gone. This makes the pigeons susceptible to decoying. Do not use mojo decoys. Pigeons don’t flap to land, they glide. The Mojo will scare them. I use about 100 decoys around the area that has been imprinted. Pigeons will walk amongst your decoys and because the decoys don’t fly off the pigeons will flutter at a shot and then come right back down. I set up a blind, get into full camouflage and set up a bench rest.
Before sunrise if you can find their roost you can shoot them at will and they will stay because they can’t see before first light.
403 in a day wow, you’re 97 pigeons short of a full tin of .22 JSB. What was your average distance?
So actually the Vulcan is a weapon of Mass Destruction :4:
Please give us additional feedback on the Vulcan with this growing “owning/shooting” time and overall experience….
Apparently in your current post it seems you like more and more the front side cocking but actually not too much the magazine….
Thanks in advance.
Wow great pest day. That would be a couple of years worth of pigeons for me.

Mine are mainly doing back summersaults if hit them low. 😆 Did you ever that P-Dog video made like it was the Olympics and they score the hits and play music? Hilarious.
