Re: I've gotta kill that @#$% Fox!!!

Yeah, check out Greentops used gun list on line, I picked up a sweet Browning BDA .380 Sunday. Their new gun prices are about as competitive as they come. Even if they weren't I'd support them because they're local. It's probably not the ONLY reason, but to me it's no coincidence that Gander Mtn. and Bass Pro Shops retail locations are so close to GT.

It is quite a haul from Arlington, I'm surprised there are not better deals in the beltway (but on 2nd thought, maybe I should not be surprised).

I will go check them out next time I'm buying...

Thanks,

Given that my yard is less than 2 acres surrounded by 42 acres of my own forest.

Good grief man you need a 300 yard Kill Zone around your house....what were you thinking? Now go call in a Agent Orange drop, and watch the leaves turn....or my fav....napalm :laughing:


Ahhh, BigFoot, you have be beat. I am "down" to 5 right now, but I am still looking for a donor for another build. :thumbsup:

Moss, new 10/22's are $217 at my LGS and Wallyworld. Koua said it...the most customizable rifle even made. The factory triggers are horrible, but with a little bit if hand stoning and polishing they can be turned into pure pleasure.
The best thing about any .22 is it's affordability to shoot, which is perfect for kids of all ages.

Re: I've gotta kill that @#$% Fox!!!

I went for a walk in the woods early this am.

I found a fairly fresh and correctly sized hole in the side of a embankment near water. I could not see any bones or feathers. I did discharge my shotgun deep in the hole as I could reach, and I will go back with some boy scout juice later today.

I did find a couple feather "spots" but no lairs near them, and not enough feathers to be a whole chicken...

Don't get me wrong I will shoot one in a second but I never much cared for the foot traps. They just seem a little cruel to me.

Not really, much like handcuffs, they just keep the varmint in the right spot until the sheriff arrives :thumbsup:

GRRRRRR!!!!


@#$% @#$% ^&**( Fox got another one!

This time about 10' into the woods while I was on my tractor up top messing with the bucked log pile.

Unfortunately, even if I had been on guard on the porch I could NOT have done anything, there simply was not a shot I could have taken. too much "forest"...

I'm gonna get that fox...

Re: I've gotta kill that @#$% Fox!!!

...is the theme from Caddyshack playing in your head now?

"License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote. " A appropraite quote for your situation by Carl Spackler...:laughing:
