Hey folks I'm back!! Just got back from a week off and man was the honey do list long. But during my evenings I had a chance to do some mice hunting. I set out dogfood covered peanust butter and started waiting. I started my hunting trip using my 350 and just as I had gotten quiet here comes mister mouse smelling the Au de peanutbutter and as soon as I lifted the gun he dove for the cover of the wall. Little did mister mouse know I was using my most powerful pelletgun and a little piece of sheetrock was not gonna stop those Benjamin/crossman premier HP from making their mark. One down two to go! Next I started noticing it was hard to maneuver the 350 in these tight spaces and I decided to switch to my CFX. Well Darryl (the second mouse) wanted to try and see if he could make it to the peanut ball he tried the old mad dash and snatch but it didn't end well when he met a little lead pellet with his name on it. Two down one to go! The other brother Darryl (third mouse) was not as lucky as the other two, I had put up my cfx and was now using my crossman 1377 loaded with destroyer pellets shooting around 550-580 fps. I had just walked up to see how my bait was doing and he was standing about 5 feet from me when I let the pellet loose. Man those destroyers really have a good name because when it passed through his little body there wasn't a whole lot left. Lastly the reason for the title of this lttle thread is that when I shoot mice or rats in the barn I throw them on the roof so my pugs won't try to eat them and there is a Nighthawk that frequents my barn and those mice never stay on the roof for more than an hour. He watches me when I go in the barn and just waits for me to come out, I'd swear I saw him smile the other day.

Oops I forgot! No pics my camera has something wrong with it and it won't focus at small things. I tried to zoom out but you couldn't see the mice in the pic's.
