"Metro Cam" Footage from the TCP.

A few crows getting busted by Metro Barrel wielding Texans.

I suggest increasing the window size to full screen, and setting the video quality to 1080P.  You can do so by clicking the little gear icon in the bottom right corner.

The barrel is awesome. Reminds me of card shooter. Is that autoloader and do you reload the shells. Nice and quiet and some long shots :)

The video was great and those Metro barrels are out there! Looking like there will be a lot of dead crows
In Texas.

Outstanding efforts by the TCP. I expected nothing less.

Having hunted with GB, this reminded me of how fast a Texans #2 thru #5 shots come. Speedy!

I liked the crow shot out of the tree. The gun was pointed at the bird waiting for it to fly off its perch and I could almost hear the shooter impatiently thinking "fine, I'll just shoot you out of the damn tree, Bang!"

...made me smile.

Thanks for sharing.

Well done... hope more videos are in the works.. I believe I saw a vehicle in the orchard fairly close to your position.. interesting that crows are not "vehicle shy" but  "report"  shy....keep up the good work!!!

Crow Foe, that is a Browning Maxus. We do reload, but those particular shells are Federal Subsonic factory ammo. Love your avatar!

Mark, when the trees are heavily leaved, we park within 25-30 yards of the calling stand. When the leaves are down, we'll stretch that out to 100 yards or so. Generally, the crows are not vehicle shy, as they see farmers every day, driving around in the fields and orchards. When we're feeling lazy, we'll just set the caller on top of the truck, and hit play. It works more often that you would expect. I suppose critters are wary of 2 legged creatures walking upright, but not all that scared of 4 wheeled machines, especially stationary ones. A seasoned coyote hunter once told me that the best coyote blind is the cab of tractor, and I think he may be on to something.

I thought I was watching a documentary on that huge cannon the Germans had mounted on a railroad car during WW2.

You do a pretty good job with that Metro barrel. So have you convinced Skip yet to use one? I fear that Skip & I are to much old school.

Is your season going well?

Hope you have a bang up season GB.

That was #7.5 shot, thats all we ever use anymore.  We've tried everything from 4-9, but 7.5 and 8 seem to give us the best results.

That would have been "Bertha" named after Krupps daughter,the gun  was used at the siege of Serbastople,  Like Germanys battleships, it was a costly and cumbersome weapon.... The 88 millimeter gun was their best....

"Big Bertha" was a very large mortar (420mm) used by the Germans during WWI. They also used the "Paris Gun" in WWI which was indeed a gun (there are three tube classifications: mortar, howitzer, and gun) that had a max range of near 70 miles.

The gun you are referring to used at Sevastopol was named "Big Gustav" by the Krupps, but the artillerymen called it "Dora," one of two made. It had an 800 mm bore, required two months to emplace, a crew of hundreds, and fired two types of shells, one which weighed 7 tons! Both were destroyed. One of the rounds was at the Aberdeen Proving Ground museum. There is another at the Imperial War museum in London.
