No way am I gonna be convinced that this guy is anything but a sadist. Shooting their tails off? Completely invalidates the "Pest Defense".

I got a negative accuracy post also for saying shooting tails off was sociopathic behavior..... I still stand behind that comment. Torturing animals in any form and not having remorse and downplaying the reactions of others about is indeed sociopathic.

Paulcat, you can't reason with a sociopath. But, me thinks this is nothing more than a common troll.

It was probably that sociopath who gave you the negative accuracy post. I probably got two of them by now my own self! What knucklehead thinks torturing small animals is OK. The DSM even lists doing that as a factor of sociopathy, and the Alphabet org considers that as a precursor to becoming a serial killer!

On one hand I completely agree. Rather than locked, maybe deleted.
On the other hand, it demonstrates that the majority of AG hunters (or at least those who chose to chime in) are ethical, responsible, moral hunters. It also shows that this type of behavior should not, and will not be tolerated on this forum.

Shooting has high ethical standards when it comes to maiming any animals.
Maiming by accident is a great shame but maiming on purpose is just plain wrong.
Usually hunters are the ones who can appreciate the life around them.

This is merely a troll attempting to incite comments that cast a bad light on hunters. Pathetically transparent.

I cannot believe some dimwit gave me a negative post for suggesting this guy is "messed up" for deliberately torturing animals with an air gun!! Wow!! I guess Air Gun nation has become a "Safe Space" too now....... :-(

MoeHofer, it was obviously the troll who you criticized for advocating animal torture. See #2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnvUU-btW00

This thread has now got me shooting lizards. I am always getting catalogs and magazines and out falls that deplorable Geico Gecko. Turns out he is a perfect 25 to 50 yard target. I encourage all air gunners to use this readily available target. Shoot any part you like........the gecko won't feel a thing and if you are a lucky person who does not have these targets falling out of received catalogs then a search for Geico Gecko will turn up many images you can print!

The thread has run so long and it is so filled with hate that I have taken up shooting the tails off of squirrels. They don't seem to mind and dogs have a harder time catching them without that long fluffy tail trailing behind as they just barely escape up the nearest tree. I just tell the neighbors that these are the "Eastern Gray No Tail" which is a rare and very valuable subspecies of the "Eastern Gray with Tail". I explain to them that the squirrel has evolved to shed it's tail at puberty because of pressure from the local coyote population and that this adaptation has helped them to become so prolific that any grove where they are seen needs to be hunted every winter by an old man with an air rifle.
