New construction in ETenn

[RSW]

We have a garden in the back yard but the ground hogs keep eating up the beans and tomatos. I have relocated 12 so far but still have two that I can't trap. Smart little critters they are.

Two words "varmit rifle" or a dog. I have an akita that stays around the garden and he keeps most things run off.

 

[RSW]

We have six cats and they are afraid of the varmits.

My wife spent about 5 hours planting vegtables the other week. She has a locked garden so the goats and horses cant get in. I woke up the other day to discover that my pot bellied pig had penetrated her security system, needles to say, there isnt too much of her garden left!
And my pig is now on the endangered pet list and she has threatened some particulary nasty actions against him.
Scott, thats a lot of cats you have there!

Dean, you're in Tennessee now. Just BBQ the pig. :new_smile-l:

RSW, if you are in a subdivision, get a Benjamin Sheridan .22 air rifle. It isn't very loud at all, and you can wack the critters. As I was sitting here yesterday, I wacked 2 cow/grackle birds through my cracked office door with my sons .177 air rifle. I'm not like some of you redneck Tennessee appraisers shooting critters all day that come by the window as they work. Two was enough for me yesterday. A redneck would have shot more. Gosh sometimes I do love this job. Type appraisal, shoot pest birds. It doesn't get much better.

I got it(Benjamin .177) for him when he was 6, so I bought the .177 caliber so there would be less lead flying through the air. Now, a few years later, I wish I had bought him the .22 for more clean kills. He's killed hundreds of critters with that thing. It's deadly accurate when sited in. At 35 feet, I put 5 pellets into a dime size target. There were only two holes, on strayed a bit, the other pellets went in the same pellet sized hole. That thing is deadly.

Hauling grandhogs off won't work too much, unless you take them way off. They'll just come back.
PS, the Sheridan will work numbers on cats as well. :icon_mrgreen:

No, I like my cats!

I have a CO2 handgun but I am not very good with it. My wife just laughs at me when I am trying to shoot at those things. She says she doesn't have to worry about me hitting one. She does worry about the neighbors though.

We had a cookout on Saturday night, im suprised the wife didnt try to do that. I think that she is just looking for an excuse as he also bit her a few weeks ago as well. You know, they do say pigs are very smart, maybe he knows something that i dont!

Rex,

Just my luck I would shoot the neighbor. Better stick with my CO2 handgun.
