Its in their crap. They poop everywhere. In one the dog killed.... on the lawn, and partially tore it open... the crop was FULL of corn. Whole corn and otherwise. Lots. Can you imagine thousands eating the corn? Unfortunately my husband feeds the cattle outside in a feeder. No matter. When he switches to floor feeding in the winter, they eat from there also. Unbelievable.

that is one serious air rifle there Ross. I just watched a few videos of it taking down some african game up to 70 yards with a single shot. very quiet, it sounds just like a crossbow. 145 grain .357 nosler balistic tipped rounds. buck a shot. ya its a little expensive but it does have its uses and for someone who couldnt take the recoil of a traditional rifle could certainly handle this. i wonder if they or anyone else is making any plans to build an air shotgun. that would be really cool as well.

thanks for sharing.

that air gun above was only a 22.... I just found a 50 Cal air shotgun! shoots shot, 50 cal round ball or slugs. looks to be built extremely well. this is a whole new group of firearms Iv never even considered before. its pretty neat seeing what they can do.
