Well....It鈥檚 Official!!


Recommended Posts

I have reached Old Fart status for sure. I bought me a Red Ryder Adult version bb bun. 聽250 FPS low velocity is what I wanted to keep the squirrels off of the bird feeders without killing them. Body shots only you see. The birds love me though!! 馃槑 As soon as I clear out the squirrels, they come right back and start eating. Squirrels on the ground are ok, but when they run the birds off and gorge on the feeders they get busted in the butt!聽

Good for you keeping the tree rats away!

The da#n fluffy tailed rats are digging in my raised beds and have even dug up some of my green beans.

That's pretty darn cool @Randall53 .

I might just have to dig my pump BB/Pellet gun out and get a little long-gun practice in. 馃檪

BTW I reached Old Fart status some time ago LOL

One of my flaws... I'll eat a tree rat. If they're just being tree rats, I'm happy to have them around. If they're tearing things up, it's skillet time.

I have to admit, it's been a long time since I gnawed on a tree rat.

Before we moved I had a lot of tree rat problems. I used a 12g to scare them off and a few took the warning the rest were put to rest. Not sure what I was feeding but the bodies were always gone by the next day. I kept a scorecard on the whiteboard by the door. The last year before we moved I was up to 13.

Possums roaming around at night are always happy to find a dead squirrel, or anything else dead.聽 I've heard that foxes do too but I've never seen that to be sure.

Possums, raccoons, foxes, hawks, owls, ... lots of critters are happy for an easy meal. Just remove the shot,聽 a few lead pellets will kill them.聽
