Not really hunting, but humanely exterminating.

I've been putting off the garage cleaning for some time, but decided to get to it today. I found 2 mice scurrying around. Instead of putting out glue traps so they can starve and dessicate or good ole Warfarin so they can bleed out, I decided to break out the old Powerline 880.

I've had this rifle for a good 12 years now and have oiled the hinges and seals twice a year or so and shot it from time to time. I'm sure it isn't as fast as it used to be, but I gathered it up and found some wadcutter pellets.

Shooting distance was 15-25 feet. Those little mice were awefully small in my sights as they were scurrying around, but I got both of em with one humane shot. Missed once, so my pellet expenditure was a whole whopping three pellets.

Not really blood lust here, I just figured it was a more humane way to go about getting rid of the pests and I was just impressed with my marksmanship. Haven't shot my rifles in a while, only hanguns of late.

Have a good day guys.

Di'ja cook 'em-up? Ain't much meat on a mouse, i' they?! :)

So, it's official...we have a new edition to the novel Of Mice and Men. Just stick one in your pocket so your can take it out and proffer it from time to time...just like Lenny.

It's coming right for us!

Seriously, though, I have a hard time seeing mice scurrying around, much less shooting at them. Nice shootin'!

Beer drinking while knocking off chippers and red squirrels are my sin.:)
