    Tips for eradicating rats?

    We own a small nursery. I've been out the previous weeks looking for critters with the ATN 4k on my Avenger and found none. But last night, rats destroyed several trays of seedlings. I'm talking $100's in damage. We've had traps out for weeks and caught nothing. I'm guessing this late cold snap...

    A little confession is good

    Nature is pretty brutal when it comes to dying. There's no hospital in the woods and a lot of animal check out by being eaten alive. Go back to executions in the Roman times, throwing the Christians to the lions. I'll take execution by firing squad instead.

    Paying taxes on what you sell as of 1/1/2022

    So what happens if I gift you $1200 and since we're such great friends, you gift me a $1200 rifle? We had a county commissioner beat a tax rap because all these people were "gifting" him payoff money that he wasn't reporting as income.

    Is it legal to shoot a pellet/bb gun in a backyard in the city limits in Texas?

    From what I understand, it’s written into some generic ordinances that are put out by some organization, and most little towns and cities adopt it without much discussion. Texas has made a big deal about gun rights in recent years, but this is where they fail. If you technically can’t take...

    I may have lost my new P-rod

    He dropped 3 squirrels over the weekend with it. I've got to top off his air today. He's down to 2200. I ordered him a couple of the pic rails from Buck Rail to put on it so he can mount his flashlight, and I gave him the box and AR stock adapter this morning. I know I have a cheap adjustable...

    I may have lost my new P-rod

    I ordered a p-rod from Crosman during their Black Friday deal. I bought an Avenger in October and felt that I wanted something a little lighter and shorter. I took the Hawke 2x7 off my pumper and mounted it on high rings, let my son shoot it a bit till we were getting decent groups at 50...

    Bad fire at one of my permissions

    Ag based business is tough, low margins, you don't make a crop (or a milking) and your short a paycheck. We run a greenhouse operation, we were without power for 5 days during the Texas blackout. 5 days on portable generators. I slept in the greenhouse where it was decently warm, my dad slept in...

    Sub 8 ft/lb and 14 ft/lb Squirrel

    It's like Vietnam flashbacks. First they learn to stay out of range of our pumpers and mock us by chewing on our security cameras. We buy a couple of PCP guns and start knocking them down at 50 yards and they are dragging the bodies away to screw with our body counts and destroy troop morale.

    News article, big bore airguns seized in HK

    You can't run over folks at a protest with a tank, smear their bodies into the asphalt, and not think they would retaliate in some fashion one day if they had the chance.

    Has anyone ever rattle-canned an airgun?

    4 layers. One layer is an oak leaf stencil my wife cut for me from her scrapbook stuff.

    Is baiting for pests hunting?

    I put up a deer feeder that clicks on for one second everyday at 9am. It draws a lot of songbirds. It’s also draws in the squirrels who keep jacking with my security cameras. I’ve got a chunk of a tree stump as a backstop. To me that’s the preferred method instead of trying to line up a tree...

    Pellets arrived

    I’m waiting on some Nielsen stuff, somehow it went from Missouri to Eugene, Oregon and that’s not anywhere near where I live in Texas.

    Who’s man enough to admit they own a “Murse”

    I used to carry a backpack everywhere. It did the job, but it was big and tended to collect a lot of stuff. Back in June, my doctor put me on some medication that couldn't be left in a hot car. So I would put it in my backpack and end up toting the whole thing into Walmart or the grocery store...

    Pyramydair catalog #20

    The Sears Christmas Wish Book it ain't. It's got some pretty color pictures in it, but the whole thing is lacking. I know those things aren't cheap to put together either, but there's nothing in there that makes me want to stuff it under my mattress to save for later. It's literally a throw away...

    PCP Airgun future

    I don't know if there's such a thing as a cheap hobby anymore. Maybe bird watching, but sooner or later, you'll end up traveling long distances and staying over night using some Leica binoculars or high end camera equipment.

    Winterizing my PCP’s😆

    ...fired and the gun returned to it's normal reg pressure. I imagine the opposite would be true in cold weather, the only question is whether or not that *could* *possibly* damage the regulator or something, but I'm assuming these guns are built to withstand a certain amount of temperature...
