Yes, I guess "air gun" would be the proper name for it. I sure wish there was an air gun with a magazine! (Probably is and I just don't know about it.) Loading pellets 1@ at time is time consuming.

They come in every fall around here. For rats we use poison. It's the only thing that works. They are wicked smart here, they have to be to survive our winters.I find it to be a real pain. Have an air gun for rats that like my barn. got one in my sights the other day but no pressure. It's been months since they've been in the barn, but cold weather I suspect drive them in. All of my tool drawers are now nests. ARG
I put out the poison bates and they ignore them.They come in every fall around here. For rats we use poison. It's the only thing that works. They are wicked smart here, they have to be to survive our winters.
I read this far and cracked up! Was he tasty?Had to grill the husband. ..
Our varmints in the roof seem to be ignoring the bait too.I put out the poison bates and they ignore them.
I used to make cream cheese & grape jelly sandwiches - learned that from a friend. Not bad really.
Good Morning and Happy New Year to Everyone!
I missed midnight, the neighbors who used to wake me up with fireworks moved this past fall , so all we heard were early evening very distant firecrackers.
Here's to a better 2018 .
Almost everyone on BYC meets your description .
The best chili I ever had was made with deer/venison ( which I don't eat) it took me days to get my friend to tell me it was deer and not the bell pepper that made it so, so good..
I would not want to try to skin or eat a squirrel, but would love to trap and ship some of ours to whoever wants them .
X2 - 2018 has to be better .
Everyone seems to think the grid going down is unlikely. But guess what? Those transformers we rely on are not made in the US. We do not have a big stockpile of them. If there was a bad storm or solar flare, many of them would be knocked out. It could take a long time to replace them. I don't even know where they are going to get the ones California is going to need to rebuild after those fires.
Sorry to carry on, but so many people are dependent on electric and food in the stores. They assume it will always be there. But maybe not. Food for thought.
When Irma hit Macon, several groceries lost power for a week and had to throw out loads of spoiled food...what if all had lost power
Yep and if no power to pump gas, then no trucks to resupply food. Almost nothing is bought locally by stores. Most stores have less than a week supply of food on hand. When people figure out no more food coming they would riot.
Lots of people live day to day. Very little food kept in the house. Some even eat take out or dine out half the time. Maybe a few days worth of food in the house.
I don't know if the current version has it but my 40 Y/O copy of "The Joy of Cooking" tells how to skin and cook squirrel. Also rabbit, possum, groundhog, raccoon, even armadillo. Must have been pretty common on the table for them to be included, right? No I've never tried them, but then there are a lot of other recipes I haven't tried either.
Yeah but squirrel has a LOT less sodium to raise your BP
Yep and while I'm not wringing my hands in fear of a major outage, witness the poor people of Puerto Rico. No power now for HOW many months and no end in sight?? I'm going to look into battery storage for my solar panels. As they are currently installed (and required by law since I have no battery storage) if the grid is down, it doesn't matter how much sun we have, the panels shut down just to be REALLY sure that they don't send any power back up the lines when someone may be working on them. If the grid goes down, like it did for 3 days the beginning of November, I am up sh1t creek, same as everyone else even though on a sunny day I make more power than I use.
This just came out in the Sioux Falls paper today....thought it was timely considering the previous discussions!

22 gauge bullets. That's what my husband uses. High pressure BB guns can kill if aimed correctly. Your basic red rider BB gun will often not kill. Not that we are sitting around here shooting squirrels. We are just country and have the knowledge of the hillbilly.
Kelsey, it was a general discussion. No inference about the whole thing was towards you.
