In episode 7 of our air rifle hunting series, our special guest from last month gets even more comfortable! Mick Garvey is once again hosting, and has received such great feedback that he’s here to stay for a bit.

This month, there’s a serious feral pigeon problem at one of Mick’s permissions, where the health hazard from droppings in a barn due to be repaired is critical… This time, he’s going in during daylight hours, meaning absolute stealth is the name of the game!

Armed with a thermal spotter and scope, an air rifle and pellets, Mick gets to work… he also explains which other methods of control are available for ferals, and why in this instance the air rifle is the safest and most efficient. Enjoy the episode, and we’ll catch up with Mick Garvey again next month when he’s back out on the rabbits.
