I just killed Rocky

[streakr]

Hmmm....too many Shiners methinks!!!!

Try an airsoft with 6mm plastic pellets. I had the same problem but using my trusty Tommy gun, a single shot replica, I drove a whole herd (OK, it was 2) of racoons away. You need at least 300 fps velocity, so the full auto electricals are not sufficient.

Just my opinion, but it workd for me!

Damn, you had my hopes up.

For a minute there I thought that the world might never again have to face the possibility of a dimwit from Philadelphia beating up every steroid freak in the known world....

Or maybe it's only me who feels that way.

 

[gunsmith]

that was Rocky Jr ....meet Rocky Sr!

 

[zoom6zoom]

Rocky's a squirrel. You mean you just killed Ratbert ? (Dilbert's pet rat).

Squirrel = Tree Rat.

Jim,

You must have been tired to have to take three shots on the bugger. The time in your post suggests thats the case here

They say confession is good for the soul.

I'm the guy that shot the partridge out of the pear tree.
Not to mention those damn squawking turtle doves.
There.My conscience is clear.

I am too much the "gentleman" to tell you about that night with the milkmaids!

LOL

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Umm for some reason after trying to find ways to defend this response to a rodent I cannot. Shooting rapidly without noticing what is beyond your target (and being hit from missed shots) while in a home even if in the boonies seems dangerous and irresponsible. I mean at least use an airgun that will not pose a lethal threat, travel far, or damage much.

Hate to be the one to ruin all the fun but it just seems like there is safer tools for the job.

I was waiting for this. It's a satire of some of the responses that I have been reading lately. There are several issues to critisize here, you named one. How safe of an environment do you think you create when you defend yourself in the heat of the moment. If you can critisize this then you can critisize ANY discharge anywhere. Don't give me my life was in danger. Does that justify letting loose rounds? Think about it. There is no perfect circumstance, when you discharge a weapon each and every round is your responsibility NO matter the reason. Com hits do not assure stopage of rounds (no more than one inch rough sawn oak boards). Yea I did shoot the hell out of a squirrel out in the boonies. Is that more dangerous than shooting to protect yourself in an ally or street. If so how?

Cool story, sorry for your roof. BTW next time use a .45 should be more fun.

 

[JMusic]

I normally carry my Kimber CDP Pro. Should have used it then a wine bottle cork would have worked as a plug.

An hour ago, I just, um....disposed of my 13th attic rat (flying squirrel) in 6 days. Gotta kill the whole nest before I can patch the holes in the soffet. A hav-a-hart trap is a nice spot to execute the little $#%$ers with my new bb pistol . I put 'em out back next to a certain tree and one of the little (fat) grey foxes cleans up for me....

I went back to watching Shootout on the History channel.

Your ordeal sounds like it could be an episode of Shootout to me! Maybe you could pitch your story to the folks at the History Channel. Of course, the squirrel couldn't shoot back...

 

[Rachen]

I have an idea!

Just tell the folks at the History Channel that the squirrel you were fighting against was a Mutant squirrel sent by the leader of Planet ----- to infiltrate this world for a future invasion by the aliens. The squirrel was armed with a Plasma rifle, and a hand held Disruptor, and the only reason why you were using your shotgun to fight him is because he zapped your SKS out of your hands with his Disruptor!!!

There is...err..."was" a Rocky Raccoon(s)

Seems the old boy out in the country caught one of the rabid raccoons - heat of the day mind you - and Rocky gets into this trap.

Rocky ain't very happy about it,

This was a gun smith buddy of mines neighbor, we are shooting on his private range.
We hear the outdoor phone ringer, it is this neighbor and -"heard you shooting, got any ideas on how to get a pissed off rabid raccoon out of a trap?

Suggested he just take it down the way , toss it in farm pond.
"My back is acting up and ..."

"BOOM!" .

I just run what I brung...what I was piddling with on the range...a customer's Raging Bull in .454.

Best recall about 15 steps and Rocky quit being a fuss bucket. Brush fire going, gun buddy had Nitrile gloves ....

"Ya thunk you used enough gun ?"
And Rocky dumped into the fire ...

Not sure how a Have-A-Hart is supposed to work, never bothered to read instructions...still ain't...
I do know a .454 will get Rocky Raccoon to quit being a fuss bucket though...
... in a handgun...45-70s work real nice, and the old 12 ga slug works of course...

Sometimes you just have to run what ya brung...

 

[yongxingfreesty]

how about some pictures? HAHA

 

[kungfuhippie]

this squirrel refused to identify itself and forced me to escalate

If that was the case you should have just beaten it with your flashlight

Buddy of mine cornered a rat years ago and plugged it with his 1911. The cops circled the block for an hour trying to figure out who dsicharged in the city

 

[JMusic]

You guys don't know how close to the truth you've come in some of your comments. Wednesday night the wife gave me back my pistol. Thursday morning I had another encounter with an unknown assailant. This time with pictures!!

[DouglasW]

Oh, I'm way out in the boonies.

It's stories just like this that make me wish I lived out in the boonies

 

[kungfuhippie]

PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait where are the pictures?
