Thumbs high bro and more incentive for me to get out and drop some nutters myself if I can stop lurking around at night lol. Ed

Wow Tom, I have missed most of this thread. Great hunting and shooting. It was nice catching up on this one. Nice variety of guns too.

Thanks Dave! I have a really busy couple of weeks coming up, so the thread might slow down a little. I'll of course always have a Daisy nearby....just in case a nutter or rabbit attacks or something

Interesting day today. 3 critters, 3 different Daisy's in 2 different calibers.

Something a few nights a week has been setting off our driveway light which wakes my wife up.The other night she wakes me up to say the light went off again. I peak outside and see a stinker waddling passed the chicken coop. Game on! This morning around 5 am the light goes off. My wife wakes me up. I jump out of bed, grab the 901 in .22 caliber and go to the living room. Slowly crack a window open and wait. I should add, I changed the timer on the light so it stays on for 5 minutes after I saw the stinker.

i didn't have to wait long and I saw the stinker . I don't know what is was rooting around for but it was under a pine tree with enough light on it. I know for a fact it is 18 yards to that tree. I waited, squeezed, and it kicked a few times, then I smelled it. Yup, it's dead

. I waited till day light to go outside, take the pics, spread some lime, and bury the stinker. It actually does not smell too bad outside right now.

Then I am outside a while later getting ready to let me birds out. As I am about to enter the duck cage area, I see a few rats moving around. I dart into the house, grab the still smoothbore Daisy 35, only mods being trigger mods and a filled 880 stock, and kill the 1st one I see. Perfect brain shot at 8 yards. The Crosman destroyer made a mess of it. Only used 6 pumps. Did the job perfectly.

Then I finally get off the property to work. I 1st dug 18 feet of ditch . Got done with that at 11:30 and sat down 15 yards from an oak tree to eat my lunch. Before I jumped on a mower for the rest of the day. My stock other than trigger mods 901 , still obviously in .177, on my lap as I ate my sub. Saw 4 nutters. 3 of them would not give me a shot. The 4th one, paused nicely on a bare branch about 20 feet up the tree. I put down my sub, picked up the 901, shot it in the brain and as it fell put down the 901 and resumed eating

Interesting variety today . Guns and critters

Hard after em you are bro

great shooting and pics. The pole cat was digging for grubs more then likely bro. I get em out here in the field at night but give em a pass. I don't feel like dealing with the stink and can't eat em. I can check out the grassy field the next morning and all these little dug up spots . Ed

Got the trifecta today

1st thing this morning I go outside and a red is scolding me. The wacko obviously had 15 cups of coffee this morning and was jumping around branches, running around etc. He paused to scratch on a branch 15 to 16 yards away and I sent the Winnie dome from the stock other than trigger mods 901 into the vitals. Fell off the branch dead, not a kick.

Later in the morning I'mat a property i work at and pest/hunt at. Saw one gray and she was running for an oak tree that has a nutter hole in it. I sat down on my butt and waited. I figured she ran into the hole. Nope, she made a fatal mistake and peaked her head around the corner of the tree. Just head and neck showing. At 18 yards the same 901 sent the winnie dome perfectly into her brain. A few kicks and it was over.

At the end of the day I took a walk around the property to see if the nutters were moving. Heard a red, never saw it, but I did see this chipper. 22 yard head shot with the same 901 and a Winnie dome. Again sitting down on my butt. Sat down as soon as I spotted it.

Twas a good day

The pumpers are keeping em at bay in your neck of the woods, very nice.

Fine shooting and pics and letting the pumpers strut their stuff.
