    BTW, as cordial as our relations have been up to this point, if the buggers started tearing up my things and/or gnawing their way into my house, I would not hesitate to go Old Testament on their furry little butts.

    Flu-flus and judo points, blunts...all great. I'd still pay a dollar to be back on the farm, where the discharge of a simple .22 was no more concern than sound of the cows mooing.

    You could try the Aussie method of Cockatiel control, entice as many as you can into a big tree and then blow it up. BBQ!

    Bad hair day for these bushies. On rainy overcast days like today they tend to run around on the ground mostly but the three stooges make them tree up in a hurry.....or else!

    Three stooges and a lever gun. Does it get better than that? Poor tree rats did not stand a chance. Nice looking hunting buddies!

    Nope not much, they usually don't when I get to hankering for fried tree rat. I do tend to give them a sporting chance most of the time and go after them with these....

    I have friends who live on the Blue Ridge in Virginia that are in a constant battle with squirrels. They built a huge 6500 square foot log cabin house but insisted on importing the logs from out west. Since the wood is not native or natural to the Appalachian Mountains, the squirrels are attracted to it by the zillion and just chew, eat and destroy constantly.
