Raid!

While out scouting the other day I came across a couple of nest boxes that had been upended and raided by the local raccoon tribe.  Nothing sets me-off more than those beady-eyed bandits predating my nest boxes.

Just to show how low these flea-infested, low lives will go - a raccoon took a dump right on top of The Frau's box of hose end parts in her potting shed.  All the more reason to never leave home without a pistolero.  Who knows what opportunity might present itself to eliminate a varmint.

Grrrr!

Last weekend a rabbit (eyeing-up my garden) got a fatal dose of lead poisoning.  Nailed it with my trusty Browning Buckmark .22 target pistol.  

One shot, one kill. 

Thirty paces.  

Not bad...
