I wish I could pull out the 22. Too bad I'm only on 3 acres and neighbors are fairly close.
Little bastards are under my shed which drives my dogs absolutely nuts. The dogs are coming in with pretty deep cuts on their faces from trying to get at them. I brought the dogs in the house on Friday and 2 minutes later one gopher is standing right beside the shed. The thought crossed my mind to grab the 22. I haven't been out for years.

I have the perfect pellet gun for that problem it's a gamo .177 that shoots at over 1300 ft per second the old lady dropped a squirrel with it ... I think I paid jusy a couple hundred for it

Traps are good. Keep the pets away. I used to have a chit load of traps

Those Gamos are great! You can make some pretty accurate shots with them.

Anything over 500fps requires a PAL license. I have a hard time believing you paid 200 for 1300 fps. Pellet guns that fast cost over a grand usually.

Well I can promise you that I would never pay a grand for a pellet gun and yes it does require a PAL thus the reason for over an hour of paper work at cabelas and if I recall it was just over 200 but I maybe wrong

Well good for you. I paid less for my son's 17 than I would have for the pellet gun I wanted.

I have a pellet gun that my grandpa jacked up. He lived in town and the cats would all come and **** in his garden. Lol! So he built it up to take care of them. I dunno what it shoots but it'll bury a pellet into a fence post about 3/4 of an inch.

Oh I belive that ... Some 17 are not that expensive at all and some pellet guns are retardedly priced my old man has a .177 that I think he said he paid over a grand for ... I myself have a hard time justifying that kind of money for a pellet gun when I can buy a nice REAL gun for less

I like my pellet guns, mostly the pistols. I've been working on hitting beer cans in my yard, with my compound bow. Robin Hood, sure does make it look easy!!! I'm hoping by mid summer or sooner that I can go out back, and knock off a few rodents with my bow.

I too picked up a sks buddy bought a create of them. He does not have his PAL either. if I buy a big enough box of ammo it works out to 4 cents per round.
