Usually it takes just about all my strength to rip it apart, but it always comes apart. This bird, which was not a large one, seemed a bit harder than normal. So I put everything I had into it and it tore loose. I felt sharpness in my finger when it came loose and looked down and the damn thing had cut me. This is not good considering that it was blood covered bone which had sliced me. I guess the pellet had hit part of the breast bone, shattering it into a half dozen razor sharp pieces. I was fortunate that the wound wasn't deep and that I was right by the sink so I immediately washed my hands and disinfected it. I'm sure it'll be okay, but its scary to think that an animals blood could make it into my blood stream. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

They were apparently a different breed because there were also regular size wood peckers too. The giant ones were like crows in that they were nearly impossible to kill with an airgun. If you got anywhere near them they'd see you and take off. I've never killed anything larger than a pigeon with an airgun, though I've tried.
