I shot a bunch of possums and a coon this summer with my pretty-in-pink .22. Just sayin'
There's a hunter education course in Nassau in late September that I've decided I'm going to attend. My husband has had licenses in MA, VT, and now NY for years, but I've never held one.
Morning all! All this talk about guns and squirrels has me all excited! My dh has a highpower pellet gun that has pretty much eliminated all the red and grey tree rats along with the chipmunks. One shot, one kill. Anything bigger and he has the appropriate weapon for the appropriate situation. I also use them from time to time when he isnt here to defend the territory. Pellet guns work great on tree rats.
Ginny--Squirrel stew is very tasty as well as oven fried squirrel. Its skinning them thats a pain in the you know what. I have eaten most everything that comes from the woods. Most are good, some are okay.
Hen--good for you taking a class and learning to shoot! All women should learn to shoot and handle guns.
Adorava---I built my silkie coop with very little knowledge of power tools and construction. Still have all my digits and it looks pretty good! Its dry, easy to clean and predator proof. Built the run too. Learned a lot from doing it myself. You can do it. Home Depot and lowes offers classes if you arent comfortable with using power tools. My brother scavanged most of the materials for me. Here is a pic:
Grabbed dh's tools and off I went!
btw, all of this talk of women and shot guns. it's hot....
When DH was deployed I used or learned to use whatever we had chainsaw, weedeater, snowblower, etc. I have to say I liked the chainsaw the best.
