One brave bunny

But then you wind up with this situation....$2,000 worth of gun and glass and the darn thing is too close. That yellow thing in the distance is my target. I just couldn't shoot it, only because I knew I'd miss it that close. I kept shooting, it kept eating. Honestly, I just couldn't bring my self to shoot it, until it and it's kin totally mess up my lawn then it's dead bunny time.

I don't bother the rabbits, doves or squirrels around my property as long as everyone behaves. Think of it as a "living" pantry should everything hit the fan. Crows and armadillos get no quarter, shoot on sight. WM
We have A LOT of Canada Geese around here, if things go to H, then we'll be eating well. Of course charging up a PCP without electricity is going to be an issue, my heart won't allow me to use a hand pump. Luckily my panels let me use them to get juice to run a compressor. Have a Remington Nitro that might do the job, if I ever find the golden pellet. Beyond that I'm toast, no way out of this area.

MY daughter lives in Campbell CA . I would say maybe about an hour drive to shoot ? or a grove permission pesting ?

a Diana 54 /no recoil would be a SHTF gun

Normally I do not shoot anything that close. Not challenge at all.

This is why I'm about to get some canted iron sights😅
 
Had something like it happen when I was shooting on my 75 yard range in Lucerne valley. I'm just shooting away and I see a jackrabbit about 35 yards away crossing right in front of me. I don't shoot something I'm not going to eat so I just kept shooting at my target and then I see it just going back access at about 20 yards. I'm thinking this wabbit has a death wish but I continue to ignore it. Then I see it not more than 5 yards right in front of me. It still got a pass but it was hard to resist.😂😂

I feel the same about all the protein passing through and living on my property… a “living pantry”
 
all you can do then is complain to the city about goose poop pollution and slippery side walks and driveways, car 's , solar panals , roofs
It's the county water district, not the brightest bulbs in the box, the protected species thing is, I believe, Federal. If it was up to me, there'd be roast goose for Christmas.
