Clawed beast down with the AP16

Was sitting out on the porch the other morning and heard the gut-wrenching chirp of the fabled veloci-chipmunk.

Knowing that the raptor rodent was on predator alert, I decided to see if I could step in and take care of the beast myself.

I stalked 50-60yards,getting closer through the tall grass... Until a green-backed Heron bust out of the bush and flew away. Score. Leave the pest to me.

Creeping closer, I noticed a piece of 4" pvc pipe sticking out at a 45 degree from the ground. Alas, a snout!

Lining up the 15 yard shot to about an inch of fur, I squeezed the 8oz trigger on my open sighted Ataman Compact and was greeted by the sight of stripes tumbling to the ground.

The barn cats followed me around for the rest of the day after this treat...

Excellent stalk and hunt on such an apex predator that could have easily turned the tables on you and made you a meal! LOL! Fun stuff and nice pic of said beast and your gorgeous Ataman.

You guys are right - my neck of the woods can now rest with a bit more surety that their pets and livestock won't go missing overnight. There's something about the stalk of hunting with a pistol... And the ataman is a shooter!
