    Why kill crows?

    Had one for a pet as a kid. Very smart and great pets. They can even mimic human voices. Mine was free to come and go from my garage. He stuck around for about 3 years and them disappeared. I always figured he probably got shot. His name was Edgar.

    Indoor Target Backstop?

    I made a 24"x24" x18"deep 3/4" plywood box with an 1/8" hard aluminum plate screwed to the back. I made the back with 2 layers of 3/4" plywood. Then filled it with rubber mulch. In 4 years I have never even dented the back piece of aluminum. I use it in my garage for my range and have 27ft...

    Presslug support and discussions

    I have had excellent results using Johnsons Paste Wax as a lube in my Preslug. A can also lasts forever.

    Huben If you can only have one and cannot resell: Hubens K1 OR Daystate Delta Wolf?

    Huben Gk1 worth it?

    I have one in 22cal. They work great for pesting. I would suggest getting a carbine stock and red dot for it like I did.

    Presslug Crown Issues...

    I'm very disappointed with my Preslug experience. Their die selection sucks. They advertised having several different sizes through their dealers but only one in each cal. were actually available. Their quality seems quite good though. Mine works quite well but the die selection for me is of...

    Need HELP!

    Sounds like a capacitor to me because of the hard starting. Now it sounds like you may have burned the windins from the slow starts causing more heat. Does it smell like burnt wires? Maybe some kind of fuse inside the motor.

    Skunks

    That works good for rat's and mice too. I use it in my trailer over the winter to keep the mice out.

    Skunks

    Try tossing some mothballs under the porch.I did it years ago when they were tearing up my yard digging for grubs. I scattered them around the back yard and they were gone in 2 days. It worked on a groundhog under my shed too.

    Hired Gun Squirrel Shooter

    Huben GK1 would be perfect. Plenty of power and accuracy. Also the are several holster options out there. I use mine as a folding carbine. It will reach out to about 40yrds with no problems.

    I saved that WEASEL bunny for many years as a reminder LOL until a cat tore it apart one day.

    Squirrel taxidermy

    I learned taxidermy as a kid in the 60s from a mail order school called the Midwest school of taxidermy I think. I used a 177 pellet rifle and mostly body shots on any small critter I could get my hands on. The first squirrel I did looked like a weasel when I was done with him. We used to make...

    Military snipers used Unertel scopes on their bolt action rifles I believe.
