i had set out my bait for starlings and before i could get ready there were seagull all over it and then about 50 crows. i pump 10 and load my new gamo 8.3gr hunter in and set my scope on 6x. there were very close together ( if i was in in the city i could have used a 10 or 12GA and kill all 50 of them with 1or 2 shots, there were that close together) i fire at one at 30 yards and hit it in the eye killing it with one shot, then the pellet exited and hit one more in the wing. the first one was stone dead but the other got up and hop away and i too a shot at it at 52 yards and it did not die but it did stop it and the rest of the crows looked on from a tall tree. i pick up the first dead one and went to were the other was still alive. I cut it's head off to kill it.
