I killed a home invader today.

[thumbtack]

I was cleaning my Enfield this afternoon in my garage when everything went down. I opened the garage door about half to let additional light in but kept it closed enough so no one could see what I was doing. Just after reassembling the Enfield I saw him out of the corner of my eyes in the driveway. I gave him a go away glare and that was when he made his advance on me. He came at me full force, I yelled at him to stop and to come no further but he did not listen. He was less then a yard away from me when my reflexes took over and I dispatched him with repeated blows from the Enfield.

I have his body nailed to the wall as a warning to all future invaders.

"Revenge..."

well now I guess you could say an enfieild is a "mouse Gun??"

 

[Mike Irwin]

That's gonna smell good in a couple of days...

Just like a Texican to beat a critter to death with a gun instead of shooting it.

 

[Schuey2002]

Rest in peace, little guy.. LOL!

Did you use enough gun?

I'm thinking a rifle of a larger caliber may have a higher precentage for 1 shot/blow kills.

I have notified P.E.T.A and you should be expecting a "visit" shortly.

John, you pinhead...thread title actually made me jump!

Sorry I didn't get to come by last weekend. We could have had a mouse-B-que.

 

[Lord Grey Boots]

That was abusing your Enfield.

 

[Redlg155]

A true Texan would have put it in his Chili!

Good Shooting

A true Texan would have tied it behind his truck and dragged it until it died.

Sorry but I couldn't resist.

nice hunting skills. at my last apartment the mice were all over the dang place (no thanks to leaving dry pasta noodles in the lower cabinets). i was catching one a day with the trap and i killed three with my feet.
also caught one tiny little bugger, couldnt have been more than an inch from nose to tail. but he was half blind so i took pity on the cute critter and let him live.
its a good thing i didnt have my tarantulas at that time, or he'd have been dinner. turned him loose the day we moved out.

Looks like a snake snack to me.

That's gonna smell good in a couple of days...

Maybe he's just hangin' it till it gets nice and tender...

Years ago I figured out how to make a completely humane mousetrap, when I was in a real dump .

Buy a large bag o' nacho tortilla. The easy part: eat the nachos, 'cept for some residue at the bottom.

Put a bit of damp cloth or wet toilet paper in there...not much, just a spoonful.

Tape it in an upright position on the edge of a flat surface you know the mousies can get to.

You guessed it. Mouse jumps in but can't jump out. Make sure the bag has the wrinkles pressed out, otherwise they'll chew their way out. Carry bag to a nearby field the next AM and dump it. Or for max fun, hold it up by the tail to your roommate's girlfriend .

(Oh, you're asking "why the wet cloth or whatever"? So the "prisoner" has something to drink. OK, I admit it, I'm soft. Sigh.)

You need a 9mm cat

Several years ago, we moved into the house we still live in. The house next door is empty. We live in a small town but across the street is all wooded. Wife home alone when a rat crosses road and heads up the driveway of the empty house next door. She ran inside and grabbed by only handgun at the time-a Hi Standard Double Nine .22 revolver. Boom! one shot stop-head shot! Goes back in house, hides gun, waits a while and then slips over next door to inspect and dispose of her 'game'.

Saw problem-identified same-handled it!

 

[Mute]

So...uh....why didn't you use a mouse gun?
