They have been destroying my flowers & onions & I told the wife I've had it . I was on AGN when she said its in the back yard . I really couldn't believe my ears I ran to the patio door & there he was, crap no gun handy . Got the safe opened grabbed the puncher, put my shoes on, ran outside to the patio, went to load the gun, DANG forgot the mag !!! Ran back inside & of coarse I locked the safe do you think I could remember the COMBO. I finally make it back & the rascal is gone ! ***###### . Okay I'll wait ,finally after 20 minutes he shows under the cedar tree Big MISTAKE . All the excitement I almost missed he was eating grass & moving ,but managed to do a head shot . Not the best placement but it did the job DRT

👍

Good shot!

Thanks

Good argument for keeping a pest eliminator loaded and ready for moments-notice action. But you just learned that.

Your right I should of been prepared . I use to have one next to the fireplace beside of the patio door but the wife got tired ot it . But thats where it is now till I get the second one, hopefully tonight with the infared .


 
kayaker,

I enjoyed reading your urban hunting story! 😊 Nice! 



🔶 Thanks to your competent dispatching of a damage-causing pest animal in your very own yard you are now in the enviable position to...:

(1) ...convince your wife that money spent on AG is money well spent. 👍🏼

(2) ...convince her when you do airgun stuff all you're really doing is working on projects for the home — on par with fixing the patio, painting the kitchen (or whatever home project is the latest on her list). 👍🏼





🔶 That successful shot you took sent a clear message. ➔

And: Shots speak louder than words. ➔ 

But in this case, some words are necessary to make the most of its message. 🤣

PS: Unlike you, I haven't caught such a lucky break in my own home yet. My wife still just can't see how feral pigeons really need to be eliminated at all cost (cost of guns, scopes, range finder, chrono, ammo — and time spent on all of this...). 

🤔 Maybe... if I put bait on top of her car she'll get my point — when she'll have to wipe pigeon poop of the windshield every day....
 
Jungleshooter My wife never minded my deer & elk hunting but shooting other things were a different story . I had to laugh when she checked the garden out & seen her onions ate to the ground . Then her flowers ate too the ground out front ,but too top that off those rabbits took all the moss out of her flower baskets & ate them up too LOL. She will never understand my obsession with these airguns. Probably because how much I've spent it does add up quickly but am I going to quit-- NO. Going to try the slugs next & another high end pcp. ( Think I'll need some ear plugs) lol. Try parking her car under a tree & see if you have some luck with the bird poop LOL Have a good one Matthias---- Darell
