Whatever

What, sit in the chair, drink beer and wait for the target to present itself? The neighbors are gonna love that! Maybe get my .22 rifle barrel threaded for a hush-hush can...

 

Yes!!! Be quieter than my silent cat pellet gun!!!

 

a tree...(backstop)...22 CB....a stick, peanut butta, find a comfy location, put sum peanut butta on the stick, place it at the base of said tree, relax and enjoy?

 

My random fer the day … me driving home trying to take a pic of a chicken crossing the road

damn I’m wore out…​

 

Or you can set a box trap. They are super easy to catch. I had a fresh air fund type relocation program to thin the population in my neighborhood.

 

Salt n pepper fish, shrimp and frys! Fer dinner

 

Just noticed the tennis balls

 

if ya live trap-em, ya need to relocate, at least 3 miles

 

Funny you should mention that...

Just an hour ago I set out my live trap.
Fucking groundhog raided my garden this morning.

I'm not surprised though. It happens every year.
I kill one, another moves into the vacated hole, I kill that one...etc.
Sometimes I happen to spot them from the balcony and choot 'em right then.
Other times, it's the live trap baited with little carrots dipped in peanut butter.

My "relocation" plan is to plant the bastards a couple feet down in my garden.
After I pop 'em with my .22 pistol while in the trap.

[edit]

I've caught possums, skunks, squirrels, in addition to groundhogs.
Lest you think me heartless...
I relocate the possums several miles away.
With skunks I carefully drop the back door of the trap while holding up a cardboard shield.
It's only groundhogs and squirrels that I terminate with prejudice.
Squirrels steal my apples and pears...groundhogs screw with my garden.

Never caught a cat...guess they don't like peanut butter.

I like live traps, they work well.
And I can't see endangering any critters other than the ones I have it in for...

 

Ummmm…no comment. Just gonna leave this here

 

A friend had an ongoing war with woodchucks in his garden.
He kept a 12 gauge in the upstairs bathroom and from "the seated position" would snipe them.

One day a lady from the church was visiting, in the kitchen, directly below the bathroom.
BOOM
Church lady: My god! What was that?
Friends wife: Just my husband up in the bathroom...

 

what kind of pole do they get?

 

I saw that in Popular Mechanics back in the 70s.

 

You could use .22 subsonic ammo fired from a rifle.
Then you wouldn't get that supersonic crack.

Me, I use mini mag hollow points.
A single shot and people are like: "What the fuck? Oh well."
Technically, I'm within the safety zone of my neighbors.
But everybody in these parts has guns too, so...

Great story!

 

Yeah, I know. I take em to work with me so they are well beyond the boundary.

 

I have one rule. I kill it, I eat it and I’m not cleaning tree rats so they take the ride.
