I despise Blue Jays. Took countless numbers of them from our
pecan orchards years ago.

It wouldn't be so bad if the Jays were hungry. :-X   But I found out one year after watching them scarf up all the bird seed day after day, they chug that seed down into a pouch and haul it off to bury it some where.  ???   

The next spring I was on the mountain side near my home, and there was corn growing all over the place.   Took me awhile to put two and two together.  It was the Jays that did it. ::)

Looks to me like that Winchester shoot pretty straight.  Good shootin'.

Its an older winchester 800 with 4x32 bsa air rifle scope, has stiff trigger pull so took some gettin use to. Seems so long as its shot from a rest can make an accurate shot. It is a rugged air rifle. Thanks scout4<><
