How many you got left around there? Another nice hit though--right in the vitals. I miss tree rat killin'. Have to settle for the winged variety for now. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

STL kinda frowns on that. i'm normally not home at this time during the week, but i closed up the shop in prep for the move... and... well theres a new gun in the house.... so..... see if i cant fill my neighbors freezer before we move. _________________ "not tonight dear, i have a race in the morning"   Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2008 10:52 am Rogerflat Silver Status Member Joined: 03 Jan 2008 Posts: 2051 Yeah, I'm fixing to move soon too. And I know when I move I won't be able to hunt there. So I'm trying to get in what I can now while I still am able to. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

It's a shame really. They just sit under my bed and in my closet. I still plan on going out to the wilderness to hunt with them on occassion, and in the distant future I may have a place to use them at on a regular basis. But aside from that, they are waisting away. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

Maybe you should join a club or something. You'll be able to work on your skills, at least. I'd be happy to relief you of some if it wasn't such a huge amount of trouble to go trough. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2008 2:51 pm Rogerflat Silver Status Member Joined: 03 Jan 2008 Posts: 2051 I could join that scam for that co2 pistol target shooting club, jk. I was going to sell some of my ag's or give one to a friend. Mainly just because I can't use all of them anyways and they take up space. But if I have to hang on to them then I have no problem doing that. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

It's the worst with my Diana. I just stare at her a bit... _________________ BIG GAP the "Star Wars gun" strikes back!     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Hunting, Pest Control, Varminting You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 2   Goto page 1, 2  Next All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
