Its called,, "Squirreling Away"  My Mom & a few of my rich relatives do it,, cept they dont dig up my yard. Of course I only dig in thier yard at night!!LOL!!  Tim.

Obviously these tree rats don't know who's yard they are in... I think you are going to have to refresh their memory.  Maybe they are new to the neighborhood or something??  get a gun setup in every room with pellets waiting to make an example of these lawn wreckers.  Go get them Jeff!!!  I am sure it is only a matter of time.

I saw  him !!!!!    

I was leaving for work this afternoon and as I walked to my truck I glanced over at my newly laid sod lawn and there he was,,,,,, a fat tree rat diggin for gold  :(

I was a split second away from pulling my 9mm Glock out of the holster and letting lead fly, but then of course common sense and reality kicked in and the thought was gone,,, but I have to admit I was tempted  :)

I chased him off the sod and watched him scamper to safety up the nearest maple tree, but at least now I know what the little raider looks like and his days are numbered  :)

My best friend did just that.  You guys mentioning glocks and shooting at "rats" reminded me of a story that I always bring up after a few drinks with my old friends I used to be on the job with.  He came over one summer evening just as the sun was going down and asked to see my Glock then walked outside and emtpied the entire magazine on a couple of rats that were running around a huge mount of logs (like 10+cords) at the yard of a tree-cutting service about 60ft behind the house I was renting at the time.  I was shocked and speechless.  I thought he just wanted to see my new Glock.  There was a house about 40yds on one side and some other commerical building that was closed about 50yds away on the other.  I was living with my g-friend at the time and we were actually renting a small house that used be the office of that tree-cutting business.  A couple of secs later when he realized what he did he got in his cruiser (!), said "I like the Glock" and took off.  Yes he was working and assigned to that area.  He missed all the rats of course..  It then occured to me he didn't want to use his service revolver just in case - so he couldn't get in trouble..  That was back in '87-88 when we were not allowed to carry semi-automatics except when we were off-duty.  He just stopped by to say hi like he usually did and I did the same during my shift.  Yes we were young and stupid but we were peace officers and we (well he..) had no excuse.  Needless to say the "perpetrator" got the call over the radio to investiage (himself) a report of 'shots fired'.  I 'll stop there before I say anything more incriminating :-)  
That was 20yrs ago and he 's retired now.  The town probably feels a little safer :)

[longislandhunter]

That's a great story Harry  :)

No doubt he wrote up the report as "unfounded"  :)

Jeff

[Timmyj1959@yahoo.com]

did anything like that when I was "on the job" He He!!ROFL!!!!! No,, but,, If I did,,,, it would have been a Rabbit,,& I hit it first shot with my trusty Glock!! Of course,, that NEVER happened!! Times change. Tim.

[only1harry]

Sure "you didn't" do that Tim!  I can see you stopping every time you saw a critter on the side of the road to take a shot at it!  hehehe
Yes, times have definitely changed.

The funny thing was, the next day I went to work, the sergeant told us there were some complaints about a lot of fireworks in the vicinity of my house.  I called him from on a pay phone later that day and he aid he reported to Central hearing some firecrackers coming from the woods and told them it had to be kids playing with fireworks!  hehe

[VINNY]

This has got to be one of the funniest posts I have ever read!!!! You guys crack me up.God I wish I would have stayed in the ARMY!!! I really miss it!

[longislandhunter]

Since we are sharing fictional stories,,,,,,,,  there was this one story that I heard about a guy "on the job" who brought a Crosman 1377  (with a shoulder stock and red dot sight) to work and during his meal period,,, usually around 3 am,,,  would park the cruiser under a certain highway bridge and "pop pigeons"   :)

It is of course an UNCONFIRMED story and I have never been able to substantiate it,,,, but if it was true I'll bet it was ALOT of fun  :)

Jeff

[Timmyj1959@yahoo.com]

Now THATS FUNNY!! I am literally,,LOL!!  Very good "story" Jeff!! Tim.

[only1harry]

Now that's having fun during work!  

Just curious Jeff.. don't you own a 1377 pistol?  :-)

[only1harry]

Ok I 'll tell you guys a 'true' story since we are talking about shooting birds.  
One day in the Fall of '89 myself and 3 cop friends of mine were in upstate NY hunting deer.  We split up in 2 pairs and agreed to meet back at the truck at 4pm.  At the end of the day my buddy and I were approaching the truck when we heard repeated shots that sounded like handguns.  We ducked and approached the truck carefully at which time we saw the other 2 guys shooting at a sparrow no more than 20ft away from them with their pistols.  We asked them what they are doing and jokingly they said they didn't see a deer all day so they just had to shoot at something.  My friend joins them and all they did was empty out their pistols while the sparrow kept jumping from branch to branch on a small tree probably too shocked to fly away.  While they were reloading, I went back to the truck and grabbed my 12ga shotgun that I had brought with me because we saw turkeys the day before when scouting the area for signs of deer.  I loaded a couple #7 1/2  bird shells, walked up next to them and shot the sparrow.  All I could see were feathers going every which direction and slowly coming down to the ground.  They all jumped up from the loud report of the shotgun (pistols sounded like firecrackers compared to the shotgun) and were like "holy crap"..  I guess I took them by surprise.  One of my friends (who happened to be NYPD at the time), turns around and says "no wonder they call you DIRTY HARRY!"  hehehe
