If you use the 22, you won't have need of the wheel barrow and shovel. Only need to get out the the chair for a better shot and another beverage. :lol:backhoeboogie":3oei26jc said:It is bone dry and over 100 degrees every day. The only thing they have wet to dig in is your lawn or garden. Get a wheel barrel, get a shovel, start setting out there about 11 o'clock at night with a winchester. Pop one, load it in the wheel barrel, and go sit back down in the lawn chair. By 1 a.m. you'll have most of them that dig up your yard. Don't use a 22 caliber. It only makes them jump 8 foot in the air and run off for a little while.
ive heard that,,,,, but thankfully they arrived at time in alabama, where now we only eat certian varmit's or else they may have had a recipe with sweet potatoesRyder":fs2gecaj said:Don't even think about eating them. They carry leprosy.

The trick with a 22 is to shoot a lot higher in the body then you would think. A quarter of the way down from the top of the shell behind the shoulders and they don;t go anywhere. We're too used to aiming a third of the way up, that puts you through just shell and no vitals
I use Remington Yellowjackets. Regular hollow points and solids just won;t do it.backhoeboogie":3qakiyxh said:dun":3qakiyxh said:backhoeboogie":3qakiyxh said:It is bone dry and over 100 degrees every day.

With the price of ammo, I am going to give that a try Dun. 30 30 shells aren't $7.99 a box anymore!
