Had you done it right in the first place---say, with a .22-250---you'd have plugged 'im lots sooner and wouldn't have become emotionally attached to the rascal. That's why they always say "use enough gun."<br /><br /><br /> ;) <br /><br /><br />-dd-

Got to love those 22 subs.<br />I have taught 1000's of rabbits and possums to do somersaults with those little pills.<br />Remington every time. makes my Marlin 70 real happy.<br />Dont forget the wild cats, stray dogs, and stoats. They all learn to hate Mr Remington fairly quick also.<br /><br /> :) <br />Peter

You finally set him free!<br />dogsdad is on the right road. A 22-250 would<br />have worked nicely.

You'll want him to go away again in a day or two once he starts to ripen a little :eek: <br /><br />We have a huge field about a mile from my house that is used strictly for haying and it is loaded with chucks. We go once or twice a year and shoot a bunch of them. The farmer only asks that after we shoot em, we stuff em back in their holes so they don't get sucked up into his baler.

I have some cat birds that sometimes get cocky and dive bomb me around they yard. Then the black birds begin to get cocky too. I only meant to knock the wind out of him..I should have use the daisy instead of the pump. One pump was too much....ruined my morning.

Re: finaly got that big chuck

I love to shoot at the squirrles with the kids BB gun. Keeps the eye sharp! Hope there aint a law against it cause I'm in the city limits. I am just waiting for the neighboors to see me do it.<br /><br />They drive the dog nuts, she barks all day, it drives me nuts, so I figure they deserve it.<br /><br />Ken
