I think you're the right group to show this to. I've posted it at other forums and I get flamed by tree-hugging wankers.

A friend of mine went to Montana to do that. I thought he was kidding, but now theres proof. :eek: I won't take it away from anyone but I question his sense of sportsmanship ever since.

Animals are our furry friends we should open our homes to them.

I do, and then they go right in the fridge.

I love animals.
They are delicious!

You guys are sick I hope the Humane Society pickets your deer blind.

Most varmints are not too tasty. But one of our old neighbors would shoot squirrels and whatever else happened along, and the whole family ate critters from the woods on a regular basis. And at Thanksgiving each person would get a whole animal cooked to order for themselves, sometimes squirrels, sometimes birds. :beerchug: They were like the Clampetts, minus the big house and cement pond.

I'll never know a potato is the closest I've ever came to eating any of gods creatures, my mom fed me protein based formula as a baby and i haven't talked to her since.

Howdy All,
I think there has been another alien abduction :-)

Yea moms gave their babies all kinds of bad stuff back when. Oh well maybe you can make up with her over some fries.

Critters
 
A raccoon never stops moving except to sleep. If given enough time I think one could open your gun safe. Cheeky little bandits too. Possum, rats, squirrels, marmots, and skunks will run from people. A coon will fight you for a left over taco. Ankle biters, the lot of em :mad:

I have friends living the foothills and they use soft traps to bag their unwanted beasties. Los Angeles County Animal control doesn't kill captured possum or raccoon anymore. They turn them loose in the Angeles Forest now :)

The locals frown on lighting off .223 rounds in the Marina del Rey but I found an alternative to persuade seagulls not to perch on the top of masts and flagpoles. They dump a load every time they take off and it adds up quickly. I have a nice old Anschütz .22 LR that is a true tack driver. I found that a motorcycle muffler slipped right over the barrel and when I use RWS sub-sonic ammo, a BB gun is louder :D

Tell ya what....I've got some nice groundhogs around I'd love to give you. Then they can excavate around your foundation like they're doing to mine.

BTW....bubble gum down the hole takes care of those hogs.

What caliber gun disintegrates the dogs? I need one of those rifles!

My Aunt lives in the Ozarks of Missouri. The next door neighbors are very much like the Clampetts. I was over there one day at lunch time and Ma says would you like to stay? What are you having I asked. She lifts the lid on the pot of boiling water and this boney leg is sticking out. Groundhog she says. I passed. Not only do they eat the things but they also melt the fat and pour it on their shoes for water protection.

Cheers,

Bill

I'm not surprised what they are capable of. A guy down the street came home one day and saw a racoon sitting in the crook of a tree thats next to his driveway. It was drinking from a juice box. We often thought of picking off a few of the woodsy invaders from our bedroom window. But then we have to do something with 10-15 deer carcasses layin around the yard! Trouble is development is squeezing the critters into any available open space so everyone with a few trees gets more than their fair share.

I could ship 'em frozen.

All kidding aside....wish I could ship them to you. We are so over run with the hogs. It wasn't bad when they were out in the fields and away from the house but lately they've been moving in under my front porch and anywhere else they can find to excavate in private.

Just a footnote...last year a friend of mine was killed due to a groundhog. He was mowing his field on a farm tractor [tricycle front end] and hit a hole with the front wheels which caused the tractor to flip over on him.

Cheers,

Bill
