I like my .243 Savage Axis. I've heard & fired the .270....no thanks

let me guess that is a gun and I have not seen it even though I have a 410 rifle

Can you hit what you're aiming at with a xbow?

This remains to be seen. I would buy a target and practice a lot. The prey would be trapped and shot at close range. If I become proficient, I might attempt to shoot a treed predator on my own tree. Besides noise, I am very concerned about stray ammo in the city.

.22 short is relatively quiet

Yes they are but these are supposed to be quieter. I'll have to get some from son and give them a try. Skunks are back

I've been studying these CCI Quiet bullets and reviews seem mixed as to how quiet they are.
My understanding is this:
They are designed for long rifles and not recommended for auto loading firearms.My pistol uses a clip. They could be loaded into my pistol one at a time but still louder than a rifle. I guess I'm too uncomfortable with the gun in the city. I'm talking 60' x 120' lots stacked next to each other. In the country I would do it.

Yuppers! I love my 22. Great predator gun. If need be. I wish they'd just forget about my farm but the odds of that happening......lol hey I hear ya!! You should hear my 270 deer rifle!!!

Avid hunters here!!!

God bless!
Glory

Thanks for all the information and encouragement!

It is jumping and hitting the lid...could it hurt itself doing this? God this sucks!

just take it out and dry it off gently in front of a heater/low hair dryer and put it in your bra/

60' x 120'???? You're KIDDING me.


I'd be in a mental institution if forced to live in such a spot.

Quote: I'm serious as a heart attack! I've never tried it 'cause mine dries out fairly quick & my birds are either free ranging or in their fenced yard, but I don't know why they wouldn't work, and enrich the soil when they rot. I was going to suggest hay, as well, but hay gets moldy when it's wet, which wouldn't do your birds any good, I don't think.

Nvm mind. I've got it. It's bundled up n quiet now. Booger.

I am needing recommendations for possum pellet gun. Effective on racoons, too would be great.
Live in the city, so need one that's vewwy, vewwy qwiet.
Thanks in advance

there is one that uses pumped up air pressure as a propellant

Quote: Better idea!
Go to Ollie's and buy a big tarp. Rake or blow the leaves onto to it, fold it a bit to keep most of the leaves on it, & tow the whole thing to the run with the lawn tractor or ATV

Yes, this is what I had in mind originally, but reviews are so mixed regarding both silence and ability to penetrate possum and/or coon skulls that my head was spinning.
I think I'm onto something with the crossbow suggestion given me. Gonna check it out.
