snow varmints

Post by bullfrog »

This is our local herd. Can't shoot since it's in the city limits and as the 2nd photo shows there would be some collateral damage, but I have seen a buddy parked along side with a pellet gun barrel sticking just out of a tinted window :P
Sure makes a guy wish this snow would go away!'

Are those things that thick all over Sisters? Maybe you could moonlight as an Abatement Officer of sorts.

They get thicker every year. Even had one in my yard last year. That development used to be a ranch, and is still surrounded by ranch land on 2 sides so they are tough to get rid of. Not to mention all the libs that live in the fancy new subdivision don't appreciate anything to do with hunting in general.
I am tempted every year to figure out something (bb gun in trench coat, slingshot, hand to hand combat) but not only does everybody know everybody around here, but I also have my phone number plastered on the sides of my truck. Hard to go incognito! :roll:

A huge sprawling subdivision in northern nevada had an internal subdivision law that you could only shoot at the gun range. The gun range was a beauty but they had real problems with ground squirls. Anybody put in a lawn and it got eaten up. Sombody came up with a sort of a sewer snake that had an ignighter on the end and could dispense ppropane. One shot would get the whole colony. Met the ordanance and problem was solved though not as much fun as .22's.

The propane blaster thing only lasts about a month before new ones move in and around here it costs $50.00 every time you blast.

Sounds like a rodent version of the wicked weapon we developed for use on the "other varmints" in their cave 'burrows'....the Thermobaric Bomb, (usually GPS guided in the real version). VERY effective on cave-varmints. :eek:

There's a vid at rodentblaster dotcom if you wanna see the propane explosion. Basically the gas-version of what Bill Murray was trying to accomplish in Caddyshack!
