Attic intruders!

[Dr. Kralenstein]

My buddy is having a hard time with tree rats eating his soffit and getting into his attic. Being electricians, we know all too well what they can do to your house if left to their devices.

I've been posting up before work each morning, hoping to get a few. These two came out about 630am, before a bad storm front rolled in. I clipped them both from about 45 yards, head shots in the trees, with my new build.

I've named him Igor. He loves crosman 14.3s so much, I put one through the left eye of one squirrel at that distance and up at a 35° angle. He's a good little henchman!

Great shots on both Dr. K! I'm sure your friend is very happy! Very nice compact build and nice pic.

Round 2: brought Frankie out to play with the tree rats. Had 2 misses this morning, they're getting squirrely on me!

Got this one on the trunk coming down, didn't get a chance for a head shot, but through the back and out the left front leg. Think I got the spine, because it dropped like a sack of potatoes! One more female breeder gone!

Congrats on getting rid of them, I declared war on them last year when they got under the hood of my truck and chewed the plastic along the firewall and a hole in my fuse box cost me $35 to replace the the fusebox cover, I eliminated 70 in my backyard over the next 3/4 months don't see to many around now days.

That's awesome! I had a similar experience years ago with my 92 chevy s10. Went out to start it one morning and got nothing. Popped the hood, and a squirrel was fried up in there. He chewed into the battery lead on the alternator and I guess grounded himself to the framing. Replaced the wires and the fusible link to get it going again.
