    Default Use enough gun

    I have a mouse problem in my garage. So I set out several mouse traps baited with extra crunchy peanut butter. I watch in amazement as the little buggers would come up from behind the trap and eat the bait without setting off the trap. I switched to a different type of trap. When I would check the traps in the morning the bait would be gone.

    Today I decided to try a new tactic. I got out the nice new high powered air rifle and a chair and set down a waited for the vermin to show them selves.

    I am happy to report that I took five of the little monsters with five shots. All head shots.

    YES!!! I am the man and I have protected my castle. **WOO HOO**

    Cool My favorite!

    The air rifle sounds cool, but check out those sticky traps. Just put the bait right in the middle, set up about 5 or so, go to bed & check 'em in the am. I've gotten two or three to a sheet before!

    Uncanny resemblance.

    good job!!! At least your not like a friend of mine!!....... Hates/terrified of spiders........ Home alone........ Spider in bathtub......... 44 magnum handy....... TIME FOR A NEW BATHTUB
    If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.

    I had the same problem once. I used .22 rat shot from a Ruger revolver at short range. It worked really good until I hit my wife's golf club bag. What a mistake. The wife wasn't too happy with me. She eventually got over it and thankfully I'm still alive to tell the story. I am no longer "allowed" on any more mouse safari. I gotta use traps now . Stay safe.

    Glad to hear you're not wasting your free time.

    There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.

    I like the rodents I eat to be just a tad larger. Now if my Bandit was still alive he would have made a quick snack of them.
