wow i never new! are they loud?

don't know, can't afford one to find out.

but judging from the pump and springers i've had, yes.

on the other hand a silencer is supposed to work very well on one.

It's from Russia, it's called the Drozd. ("Thrush" in Russian)

It runs/cycles the valve on a bunch of AA batteries under the foregrip, and in it's basic config, it uses a magazine and 12g CO2 cartridge all integrated in the grip. It has switches on the sides that control the solenoid for burst size, and speed. (Too fast, and you'll freeze up your CO2 tank.)

Then the larger tanks and other options are all available depending on how fancy you want to get.

A neighbor lady called me this morning.

She had two large coyotes/wolves/feral dogs[?] at her place this morning. They were not afraid and did not run off like coyotes usually do. Her own german shepherd dog was very upset and did not want to chase or fight them.

She went back in and got her .22 rifle and they were still there. They finally left after she fired a shot into the ground (she claimed she did not have a safe backstop where they were standing).

I told her she better start taking her rifle out with her when she feeds her horses, or else get a sidearm. She wants to come over and practice shooting again with us sometime soon.

cat food?

I've unintentionally caught regular cats in a live trap using no bait.

.22 SSS

i am hardly a treehugger but would prefer not to kill it. i will but they are rare enough around here that i would consider something non lethal. i even considered dunking it in the water trough a couple times before having that young kid from jersey release it . just want it to leave my hens and the kids kittys alone.

sanglant · « **Reply #41 on:** March 19, 2010, 01:13:18 AM »

in that case make sure it's legal to release it where you are, i remember reading where someone got in some trouble for catching squirrels and letting them go, seems they were pests and once caught had to be killed.

then think about(i have no real idea, this is just entertainment till the brains get back

) good long pole(with a hook on the end

) to move the trap, and a (string/rope/cord/chain[or a remote controlled servo

]) to open the trap.

cassandra and sara's daddy · « **Reply #42 on:** March 19, 2010, 01:47:13 AM »

i'm thinking my city boy from jersey friend to open the trap and you tube

sanglant · « **Reply #43 on:** March 19, 2010, 01:50:31 AM »

are they still doing AFHV? might make some cash before youtubin' it.

cassandra and sara's daddy · « **Reply #44 on:** March 19, 2010, 02:03:52 AM »

i saw a vid once where a guy released one that got some payback before running off

Matthew Carberry · « **Reply #45 on:** March 19, 2010, 04:08:19 AM »

Bait the coyotes with a female in heat, then pot them with a .410 from the window.

It worked in this case.

How would that work for crow? They make a mess around here and steal the food from the nice birds. Big suckers too.

Gets over 500 fps, or so the specs say.

With the bigger remote tank setups It ought to be able to maintain that.

Personally, I think this is better: http://www.airgundepot.com/airforce-talon-ss-air-rifle-22-caliber-1050-fps-w-3-9x40-scope-and-1-high-rings.html

I shot one when the NRA convention was here in town a few years back. It's very quiet, not exactly a suppressor, but it has a barrel shroud that has a generous expansion chamber in the end, and since it's integral to the air rifle, it avoids NFA hassles on suppressors. (even if it's for an airgun/paintball/airsoft ATF says if it's removable, it can be put on a firearm.) It was boringly same-hole accurate.

http://www.airgundepot.com/gamo-whisper.html This is a good option if you're on a budget. Standing off from inside a door or a window also turns your whole house into a suppressor.

First, thank you for all the responses. It has given me food for thought.

shot a coyote last fall during deer season, and dragged it over the hill and left it on the rimrocks right above our chicken house. I've been told that the dead bodies keep the live ones away.

This is really the goal. If I (somehow) manage to nail meat to a tree, then sit outside in my longjohn camo with my 30-30, I'll still only get a few of them. They breed every spring-you can't kill them fast enough (by whatever means) to eradicate them from your AO.

I've heard that cougar urine will drive them away. Anyone have any experience with that?

I've tried it. Holding a hundred pound cat still, though, and trying to get it to urinate on command, are both a tall order...
