So, the hunting category is meant for air gunners who use their air guns to kill living things.

I assume that the small animals you killed were not dangerous, but maybe somehow inconvenienced you.

Brother you’re at a buffet telling people they can’t eat. We are going to eat and lots and lots of it. Meat is good. Come on back soon I’m going to the buffet and I’ll post lots of pics

What a wonderful world we would live in if people would choose to educate themselves instead of spouting ignorance. Perhaps some people should use the Internet less for entertainment and more for education, such as finding out how many home fires and deaths per year are started by squirrels and other rodents. Who knows they might find out some of the reasons why, such as soy that is used in the manufacturing of the insulation or sheathing. It’s not their fault, but they are attracted to it. Do you know what else they might find out they might find out that hunting has a positive impact in helping to balance our ecosystem. That’s why there are laws and regulations for it and a lot of states spend taxpayer money to encourage people to hunt. Don’t be obtuse get an education.

Nil what planet are you from? Would you like to guess what animal kills the most humans annually? Mosquitoes!They land on your arm, do you kill them? Oh they are harmless u might say.....Nope wrong, they are not! Look it up. I would ask what you are doing on this forum, why do you shoot, what do you shoot? I can understand ( ok actually I can't ) people who say they don't hunt with their airguns, but I respect that decision! A little respect and reading up on the topic from you might be nice as well. I have repaired buildings and cars as FL22 referenced from squirrel/rat/chipmunk/mice,etc damage. I have shot mangy sickly coons that were hanging around my dog, and were clearly suffering, skunks bothering my chickens, the list goes on. Research ecology on the net and get back to us.

i shot close to 30 day time wondering skunks one year you can imagine why i dont want my daogs around some rabid skunk i dont wont wormy coons around i have had to place small ckiken wire every where i could to stop squirles from chewing there why into my house one year one suprised my wife in the shower she did not like it.
yes you could say they have inconvenienced us. i say they are pest they are a destructive nuisance they haul off and destrioy produce i have seen cyotees wipe out. mellon pach in no time last year they did masive damage to mine.
and even if many of these dont cause damage they are in he end MEAT and many taist great and a LOT of use like them we hunt them we eat them.
i understand that you will never no balance and thats okay.
if you like them feed them pet them fatter those fusy hides up in the end it makes them larger and and easier to hit once in m crosshairs.

OK folks, I'm going to call "time" on this one.

I gave @nil a polite suggestion which he obviously chose to ignore. He is the first person to be banned from the HAM Community.

We don’t need people like that thank you. We goof around but we’re not disrespecting each other

 

[pan60]

i hate to see anyone ban, at first i was hope maying he was joking around but that was prooven to be an incorrect on my part.
i truley hate shooting anything but some times it is a necessity .

 

[FL22]

I tried to take the moral highroad as much as I could, you have no idea how hard I was fighting off the urge to torpedo his a$$. But then I would’ve just got my hand slapped and I like it here.

So in conclusion, it’s like I said about the squirrel,
$&@! around and find out.

It's all your fault FL22 . Yeah I always try the high ground approach first 100%....we all deserve that at least. I do watch a fair amount of air rifle hunting vids and the comment section (I don't participate) gets messy some times! Now let's get back on track You ever gonna post about your gun that you had to saw a chunk off the barrel to make it shoot decently FL22? Curious of the path you took...

I also hate to see anyone banned, but he wouldn’t take the hint or let it go. Lesson learned

Yeah bud, I will. I know you’re all over it like a pitbull on a pork chop.

About 15 minutes ago came outside to do some evening shooting, View attachment 5176all I can say is $&@! around and find out.

Origin .22
30 yards JSB 18s

Nice shooting. I too had to dispatch a local the other day. I got home from work, and caught this one on the roof looking for a way in. There’s no other explanation for its reason to be probing the soffit areas. Chased it off the house and grabbed the .177 Akela that’s ready for FT. Ranged it at 28 yards by the parallax and thwacked it right in the ear with an AA 10.3 grain. It anchored the would be invader.

Excellent shot. Pest control is a necessary part of homeownership. Sometimes you spray pesticides in a liquid form. Sometimes you spray lead.
