Operating In Quail Operations

This is money:

Catch and release Quail hunting is a sport I would do. I have to brush up on my hand eye operational skills though to pull of catches like that.’

Looks-Shopped-Tell-By-PixelsMy first thought was “FAKE!”, mainly because the internet has put permanent skepticism in me.  Anyone?  Is it shopped?  Can you tell by the pixels?  I’m still enhancing the frames over here on my cray supercomputer but I’ll let you guys know when I’m done.

I’m going to give this guy the benefit of a doubt because he’s apparently Texas pastor Matt Carter.  If I know pastors like I think I do (not well) I gotta trust they wouldn’t lie as a part of a viral video scheme.  That would be the devil’s work.

Thoughts?

    I’ll call fake. Birds struggle when caught, that one is dead still.

      A long time ago, I caught a stuck blue jay in my then apartment hallway.
      It bit my thumb. When I squeezed a little to show force, it yielded. I released it outside.

  2. Feeble, pen-raised bird at some pay-to-“hunt” operation. That was probably its first time out of a flight cage.

    On a couple of accounts I have had doves fly right into me hunting. and no they were not released. also I have stunned birds with shot and put them in my pocket then later they just flew away when I was counting birds.

    THIS VIDEO WAS RECORDED AND PLAYED IN REVERSE TO CREATE THE EFFECT…LET ME EXPLAIN:
    THE GUY HAD A LIVE BIRD IN HIS HAND, HIS FRIEND RECORDS HIM WALKING BACKWARDS, MAKING GESTURES AND FINALLY RELEASING THE BIRD INTO THE AIR. WHEN YOU PLAY THE VIDEO IN REVERSE YOU SEE THE OPPOSITE …… THE GUY CATCHES THE BIRD, MAKES GESTURES AND WALKS FORWARD. VERY EASY TO REPRODUCE.
