What kind of evil spirit do these darn things have??
Well, now I've got another mission! Next time one is in my garden I'm gonna see what a .40 and a .45 will do. I think the 9mm would have worked with Fmj's, but now I know hp won't.See, 9mm doesn't work. Need more stoppin powah like a forty five!
Thats why I didn't touch that one. If I rolled him over you'd see 5 holes on that side.........leprosy.
You come shoot the next one so I can watch!Come on guys...They ain't that tough. I shoot them from my deck out to 60 yards with a M290 Winchester .22 using Mini-mags. Goes right through them and stops them on the spot.
So do you take a high lung shot or a shoulder? Lol.Come on guys...They ain't that tough. I shoot them from my deck out to 60 yards with a M290 Winchester .22 using Mini-mags. Goes right through them and stops them on the spot.
I didn't think they were that tough either, this one was.. I shot a possum out of an oak with my .22 revolver recently, one shot he was done. Never had to put more than two rds of anything into a possum or coon.I’ve killed them with baseball bats and golf clubs with one hit at times.
I’ve killed one (accidentally) by running it over with a golf cart. I’ve seen raccoons and even squirrels shrug off golf cart hits before but they stop a dilla stone dead.
Never shot one. They don’t seem that tough to me.
We already have yellow jackets and cats keep the mice away from the house, you can have all these critters you want, we don't need them in TN!!!Hope you like mice, and yellow jackets. I'd love to have these critters. Too cold in Ohio.
Hantavirus is way worse than 0% chance of transmitting leprosy.
I'd say the snakes, hawks, weasles, and owls probably do kill more mice than the cats, but the cats get the ones trying to move into the house.I'd take them, if they'd survive up here.
All of the possums and skunks I can get, that were live trapped elsewhere. Racoons, yellow jackets, and mice are the only pests we have. Mice are by far the worst.
Cats are worthless mousers. They don't dig up the nests, and kill a dozen, they just hunt one adult at a time (poorly). Besides, cats are the favorite meal for eagles and coyotes up here.
You guys do have porcupines right? I heard they are tough to shoot too.I am sure glad we don't have those things in Michigan.
We have had them in Fl probably since the jurasic period. My rental house here in the panhandle and the adjacent woods are hopelessly infested with them- the backyard has an elaborate network of burrows and the lawn looks like a mini mortar range where they root around.
