That sentence makes my head hurt.


Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

Gordon Ramsey, maybe…

My wife is on the war path with the local squirrels.
In the spring they come and chew up the trim around one of the garage doors and in the fall they run around the yard/gardens burying nuts.
The nearest tree to our house is about 75-100 ft.
They have acres of woods but insist on coming around the yard.

We need a cat, dog or more hawks, owls and foxes around the place.
They don't fear my wife.

Oh, ok. So they need to stop moving so often.


Yes I agree.

An high power air rifle will keep the neighbors happy or at least in the dark.


Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon.

Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.

Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

With regular practice you can learn to shoot accurately fast.


United we stand.

Area the boys have been hunting has black squirrels. If I find a taxidermy guy that wants to mess with one I was thinking about shooting one but all I know stay covered up with deer and dont mess with small game.


Then there is thinking I may be best to shoot it with a 410 insfead of a 22 but im not sure. Would be a good reason I needed to get a new 410 shotgun or maybe a 28. but thats really geting to be an expensive squirrel. better off with nice new camera.

Then again if my hand tremors get worse I may want/ need a small shotgun. Funny my wife and I were talking about how we have to many that have not ben shot in over a decade just today.
