Thanks guys.  That was a much awaited opportunity :)

Randy,
just make lots of noise to confuse them and they 'll freeze up.  Then jump on top of them and watch out for their teeth that can chew through a cement foundation.  The impact usually renders them uncouncious at which time you can proceed with the red paint but I don't recommend it.  We found that nail polish works best.  Certain individuals whose names I won't mention purchase them wholesale in large containers :)

Paul:
How about we try something similar we did with the Gray squirrels that were driven to extinction by lead in my neighborhood?  

I will try to catch a male and female and send them to you for breeding purposes.  I will also send you drawings of a G-hog burrow so you can prepare their living quarters before they arrive.  This way you just throw them down the hole and they will feel at home and not try to relocate.  You can send me a few per year as they breed because I know you have a lot more will-power than me and can refrain from shoothing their brains out :)  Sounds like a plan? hehehe  8)

Well.... Grays are not a problem but....
Since I haven't been able to find a farm that doesn't already have someone who's layed claim to hunting Chucks on it, I'm not sure I  have the "will-power" you think I have !!! What I know is that I do have  more "pellet-power" with that Trail XL and I can't wait to try it out on something bigger than Starlings !!!!  :D

Thanks Jake.  

Wade,
Put some goodies in the box and send it to me.  I will then send the box to Paul :)  
I got almost nothing left to shoot here.  I have only seen 1 squirrel since winter and he was down the street.  I doubt I 'll be hunting squirrels in the winter any more.  G-hogs used to be abundant and all over the place, but not anymore.  

I have shot 130-140 furry critters in my backyard in the last 3yrs.  The well has run dry.  If it were last year and you wanted some shipped to you, I would have asked you, male or female, what color and how big?  This year I coudn't even send you a picture of one  :0

Paul, that was metaphorically speaking :)

If you 'd like a pic, all you have to do is right click with your mouse on any of them here, and select "save image as" or 'save as' depending on what OS you are running.  They are not copyrighted so feel free :)
