We've had problems with squirrels getting into our barn and making a mess of our hay and grain stores.They nest in the bales of hay and the animals won't eat them.At 2.00$ a bale that shit ain't gonna fly.So I set to cleaning out the culprits.I didn't use a gun or a bow OR a blowgun I used a paintball gun. A .68 cal tippmann 98 custom with a flatline sniper barrel.I chose this for one simple reason.My animals safety.If I missed with a conventional firearm I could wound and or kill one of my Llamas.The paintball gun would mark them orange and they'd be mad at me for a day or so.
After about 6-7 shots I finally ranged the squirrel in.My last shot was a headshot that sent it spinning off the fence.I took my .22 over to finish the job only to find that it was stone dead.It didn't even twitch.My paintball gun is now my go-to barn gun for varmints.

very nicely done. Now I know what to use to take out the squirrels that are getting into the upstairs of my garage/barn. On second thought, they make a mess; I'll stick with my pellet pistol.

About a year ago I was in a huge paintball tournament, it was on 54 acre field and over 100 players on each team, it was a 2 day event. The field owner's team, I believe white horse, was conducting special missions. Cool guy stuff. Well I helped them defend a base, they ended up taking a liking to me and wanted to know if I would tag along on a mission. To go all the way around the feild, to a bad guy base, hit and run. :D hell yeah. So the 5 of us was as sneaky as a politician during an election,we made it to the base, had some fun, and once we finished decided to head back. As we were trying to sneak back to our own base, guy#1 steps across a log, guy#2 steps across a log, guy#3 starts to step across and nearly craps himself. There was a 3 foot snake, it's been a while it may have been a copperhead, laying there. He starts firing, we all start firing at the snake. We killed the snake, but also did a heck of a job giving away or position way behind enemy lines :foot:

Also tippmanns are the most reliable markers I have ever shot, great choice :thumbup:
 
Lets see.....

In before a ban and definitely in before the lock.

Anyone have an ESEE-4 they want to get rid of due to this wholesale slaughter of innocent critters?

next time carve a regular bow and craft an arrow with a ESEE AH1 and see how that works. saw it done in another thread but no mouse was hit. LOL
 
Great post! I was hoping to see a fire built with the bow-drill and the mouse roasted over it :) . That might have been a little hard on the floor though, might have to build the fire on a cookie sheet to protect the floor. I agree it would have been a great entry for the "roadkill cooking contest" :)

For anyone who thinks the mouse "suffered" too much and it should have been allowed to die a natural death -- just get a cat, and see how much more peaceful a death is in nature, as the cat "plays" with the mouse and bites/claws it for 20 or 30 minutes, before leaving the mouse half-dead in your shoe :D .

Im all about hunting but come on this is a bit much. Admin needs to maybe think of taking this down. Lets have fun but lets be humane. Its obvious you had to shoot it many times. Why not just shoot it once and crush its head so it didnt have to suffer? And dont say it didnt suffer because we all know thats bs. This is along the same line as bullfighting with the bull having five swords stuck into it before it dies.

Probably a good thing you've never seen me set up a rat to be eaten by a young python. But hey, it was food for the pet.
 
I've never seen a mouse in my house that wasn't dead by morning. :D

If you want some serious target practice, go to any NYC subway stop!

Disregard, great shots! :thumbup: :D

Humane...right. How about you go get one of the glue traps where the vermin sufficates. Or poison it.

Maybe he shot it for practice after it was dead?

If you get really offended with this forum and decide to sell all your ESEE and RAT knives please PM me first.
