Last July I got 20 so I either didn't do as well as last year or I thinned their populations down to where there weren't as many of them around to kill this year. How many kills did you get? _________________   Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 5:28 pm LDH® Member Joined: 29 Apr 2011 Posts: 66 Location: By the ocean Somewhere in the neighborhood of about 250 ground squirrels, 4 pocket gophers and one snake.   Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2011 8:03 am oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA I have 22 confirmed kills and 2 unconfirmed. 8 squirrels confirmed, 14 starlings confirmed, and 2 starling unconfirmed. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that?

You have a industrial grade overpopulation there for sure. What kind of snake did you kill? I kill the venomous snakes here but I leave the rat snakes alone since they don't harm people and they kill other venomous snakes too. _________________   Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2011 12:11 pm Smaug Member Joined: 19 Jul 2011 Posts: 24 Location: Northern Illinois Just curious one shot, about how were your kills distributed between your signature guns? Does the Daisy get any glory, or is it all Ruger. _________________ -Jeremy -------------------------- "Well begun is half done." -Aristotle   Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2011 2:48 pm one shot Member Joined: 06 Jul 2011 Posts: 91 No I got 7 with each actually. These are my current kills since 7/10 when I bought these: 880S TOTAL: 32 RUGER TOTAL: 51 So the Ruger was used more overall since last year but for the past 3 weeks I've been using the 880S exclusively for kills until I get consistent with the Ruger and it's required artillery hold because right now with it I'm missing almost as much as I'm hitting. The RWS Superdomes and Hammers scope have improved my 20yd groupings where the majority of shots are now within 2" but I still have a few misses at 3 to 5 inches out so I need to improve first before trying for more kills with it that way more of them will be humane. _________________   Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2011 4:07 pm Kingfshr New Member Joined: 14 Aug 2011 Posts: 11 Location: S.E. Al 19 Skinks from 32ft with my 1377. [/img]   Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2011 5:01 pm LDH® Member Joined: 29 Apr 2011 Posts: 66 Location: By the ocean Why would you kill harmless lizards? I wasn't aware that they were considered pests of any sort. In fact I would think they would be beneficial to have around.   Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2011 7:29 pm Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York   Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 7:00 am mod90 Veteran Member Joined: 04 Jun 2011 Posts: 279 Some lizards are harmless. But others can be a real pest. Where i am we have some 18 inch ground lizards that just love to create massive networks of burrows.   Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 8:41 am Kingfshr New Member Joined: 14 Aug 2011 Posts: 11 Location: S.E. Al The Skinks above have invaded my storage bldg. They attract snakes too.   Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 9:43 am Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York Have you thought about Modding the 1377c yet King?   Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 11:43 am Kingfshr New Member Joined: 14 Aug 2011 Posts: 11 Location: S.E. Al I have the Crosman intermounts and a BSA 2x20 scope on it now. UPS is delivering a Crosman Steel Breech and Crosman Stock tomorrow. I'm looking at a 14" barrel and Flat Top piston setup. I've also got an older model (rear cocking) 1377 I'm resealing. Someday my Grandsons are gonna inherit a coupla nice Air Pistols.....   Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 1:10 pm Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York Nice. I already have a Shoulder Stock and 3-9x32 CentePoint Scope on mine. Next I'm looking at a Steel Breech and a 14" Barrel. My Grandfather wasnt really into Airguns, but when he passed, he left me his Classic Crosman 150 Pellgun. It needs a new seal, but I cant really find anywhere that provides them.   Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 3:21 pm one shot Member Joined: 06 Jul 2011 Posts: 91 Kingfshr wrote: The Skinks above have invaded my storage bldg. They attract snakes too. They are beneficial though since they eat bugs. The bugs are what attracts them in there so use some bug spray in there and the skinks will have no reason to go in there, which will also stop the snakes going in there too. You may have mice in there also which could be the main source attracting snakes in there. _________________ Your total kills for July?     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."
