    San Diego pesting, ground squirrels, etc.

    A bit of a drive but the imperial valley has some nice areas. Lots of collared doves but you need a license for those. Season is year long, no limit, and tasty. Brush up on your lead ammo ban areas, they're a changin'. Niland, calipatria, etc. there are abandoned silos, barns, buildings...

    Was this skunk being a nuisance?

    Radical reduction in squirrels in my area...

    I get overrun with the vermin. Took care of as many as I could last spring with my cheap daisy springer. Then I got an mrod .25 last summer and hammered them more. This spring I started in on them again and have their numbers pretty low. The last two I got were at 103 yards which is a poke...

    M-rod breech oring found in magazine?

    Thanks guys. My knee jerk reaction is this wasn't the case but my son, my neighbor, and I were taking turns shooting while I was bbq-ing. Pretty sure neither my son nor I would have done this as we practice with firearms often, but my neighbor has never owned any type of gun so it is...

    M-rod breech oring found in magazine?

    Was plinking a few weeks ago having some back yard fun. It was getting dark and dinner was done and was going to call it quits after I empty the last magazine. I recall the last shot was abnormally loud but without investigating at all, I put it away for the day. yesterday I had some time for...

    Raccoon trying to get my chickens.

    I haven't had any trouble with raccoons since I piled up a few with .22 shorts. This was before I got my .25 marauder. I tried with a .177 daisy 1000 springer but it didn't kill them. Not that I witnessed anyway. My wife raises coturnix quail for eggs and meat, Serama chickens for eggs and...

    Entry level chronograph

    I have a pro Chrony digital with the pc interface. I'm am new at air gunning but have cast and reloaded all my own ammo for many years. Had mine up on a camera tripod and a clumsy friend tripped on the cord and over it went. Broke one of the sensor "eyes" off its circuit board and I had to...

    How much more efficient is a 4 stage pump?

    I am a brand new PCP owner and with my .25 mrod I got an fx 4 stage. At 6'5" and 230# I just use the third stage. My neighbor wants to get a PCP as well and has been trying mine out. He doesn't have near the body mass and he needs to switch to stage 4. On stage 3 it takes about 75 strokes to...

    Food grade silicone for pellet lube?

    I have been playing with my new marauder .25. I pulled my barrel shroud off and the baffles had flecks of lead on them. That welcomed me into the topic of washing pellets. I washed a tin and sure enough, plenty of flecks. I have an assortment of spray lubes in the garage to choose from but I...

    Ground Squirrel Infestation....Seen It Before

    WOW! awesome shooting! I have had a GS overpopulation this year at my place. I've killed 15 in the past couple of weeks. I can only get 2-3 at a time before the Ravens swoop in on the easy meal. I even seen a young Coopers hawk fly off with a corpse, (I didn't think the would eat dead...

    M-rod question/advice needed

    
Price isn't an issue, but I'm a cheap SOB getting a tank and adapters isn't a problem but I will always look for the bargain. I'll take my time and scrub the classifieds for tanks with some life left. My fire chief friend might have some surplus stuff too.

    M-rod question/advice needed

    
That is what I wanted to hear. Bid manipulating on eBay is common. I told my wife if she gets a message from the seller that the buyer backed out to tell him we aren't interested.

    M-rod question/advice needed

    My first post so hello to everyone. my wife and I for the past several years have been doing the backyard chicken, rabbit, quail thing and with the amount of feed that gets put out it really attracts the ground squirrels. Legally I can't fire a firearm on my property so I have been using a...
