Eliminating english sparrows and starlings off the feeder and surrounding bushes/trees from my back deck is my absolute favorite! Great after work to unwind or in the a.m. with a good cup of coffee too! Ditto on the fewer targets... iguanas love mangos if I remember correctly... Leave em a nice snack! just sayin...

I have 2 mango trees. Main reason for the gun is to protect the fruit in the yard.

Well at this time it’s my only hunting spot.
My yard. From my living room window. I made a polycarbonate inset to shoot through. For two reasons. 1. The widow is too squeaky and sometimes scares off pest when I open it. 2. It helps to eliminate those time when you accidentally shoot through the window sill
You can see one of my bait stations. 22 yards. Mostly rats and mice.
22 yards away
To the right, out of frame is another bait pile.
I got a rat two days ago and this mouse last night. This is at 13 yards
I also have three spots up in the front of the house. I shoot out my dinning room windows.I have motion sensors over the bait piles and even an old baby monitor camera set up watching over them. I just watch over one spot at a time. Usually leave it set up for a week. Then move to another spot.
But things are quite because I started this a year ago. So if something moves in it gets taken out immediately.
Here is my nighttime, backyard friendly pesting rig. Benjamin Prod

That rifle is lookin’ a little bare. I’m pretty sure I see an empty spot where you could add another accessory.

Too many to just choose one-I'm blessed to live the dream with the run of around 200 acres. Here are a few of many good spots-
Not too far from "cottontail corner"
Out the back door-Summer and Winter
Very rabbity creek bed-flows only in the rain
Brush pile where the ground squirrels live(d)
The big ranch
Always worth making a pass through here!
Same field as the strawberries-lots of rabbits and ground squirrels in the brush next to the road

My first favorite was at my grandfather's house on his swing. The dog house was about 5 yards away and we would pick off the starlings and grackles as they came in for the dog food.
Place #2 is my parent's house. They have a small garden in the backyard that is overrun with chippies.
