Basketball to the gopher noggin', Jones...
Real brutality is when you DONT use a firearm.
But I'm glad you killed the commie rodent....

You need a JRT, not a ROR.

I caught a big ol' whistlepig out in the middle of a fresh cut hay field, a good 60 yards from his hole. Problem was, I had a .22, and he was a good 200 yards out. Screw that-I'm gonna exercise this boy. 'Held about a foot over his head and lobbed in the first round of artillery. 'Close enough to get 'em running. Led 'em by a couple feet, couple feet high and let fly. Dirt kicked up behind him, but close enough to put him into hyperdrive. Led 'em another fence post, put 'em in the very bottom of the scope and threw round 3 out there. Kicked up dirt directly under him. He jumped about a foot straight up in the air and decided that however fast he had been running wasn't nearly fast enough. 'Never saw a ground hog run like this one. By now I'm laughing so hard I can barel hold the gun up. 'Chased 'em all the way across that field, never really causing him any serious danger, just "exercising" him. That old whistlepig's probably still holed up out there wondering where in the heck that crazy white guy is.

At least you're not in suburbia, so you actually can shoot pests. I keep running wabbits out of my yard, and they keep coming back. I told him he would be good in a slow cooker, and he was unimpressed. Guess I need to invite some falconers over to thin the herd in a politically correct manner. Or adopt an outside tomcat.

Did I ever tell you about the blasting caps we found in the ol' man's shed?
And the muskrat that used to live below the small pond....

A fair chance of neighbors seeing me & raising hell about it. But I am liking the havaheart then slow cooker idea...need to check the legalities thereof... Or just put up a high perch, inviting the caracaras to hang out...
