You can do all the same things without making the rifle into a boat anchor.A bull barrel just makes the rifle hang better for us big guys, making rapid fire much easier to stay on target. A fluted heavy barrel is cool-looking anyway. I just "throw the iron sights away" and use a scope...but that's me. When a semi-auto .22LR can keep all shots under a half-inch at 50 yards, it's good to have fun, shoot varmints, and plink like crazy!
I have caught them in the act. They usually just pull the heads off because they're too stupid to realize they can't pull a whole chicken through the wire. Coons are usually smarter about it. Never trust anything with thumbs.Have you ever actually seen a possum kill one. Some say they do and some don't.
