Gonna try this one more time, now that I am awake.
I dont get out much to hunt and my back yard is the best I can do. I leave most birds alone, but the tree rats are another thing. They can be very distruictive if they get in your house, which they did a few years ago, for that I try to eliminate every one around my area that I can.
As you can see by the pictures , my hunting area is small, 60'x70' with one large tree that they love to run around till I see them. Murphy , my Westhighland White, is my announcer, he lays by the sliding door and goes bannans when he see a squirrle . So now my turn, OSOK right. Toby my Britt, he usually finds the quarry once its down.
Now today was no different than any other day, Murphy alerted me to the rat and reaching for my B26 which has taken several already was ready for the task at hand.
I had just recientely met Donnie Miller and he had given me a tin of JSB preditor pellets to shoot, so I grab one, loaded up the 26 and OSOK hit the quarry. But the 26 did its job, hitting where it was aimed, the preditor , well , did its job but it took awhile. maybe it was the placement of the shot , maybe the pellet, but I feel if I had used its favorite pellet , the JSB stratton , the quarry would not have run off like it did with the preditor pel. OH it did expire but it took several minutes as it was in a crotch of the tree and finnally dropped . So my opinion of the preditors are still out.
any ways, another down
