An endorsement of sorts for .22 ammo

I was up in the night taking a pee and I heard the unmistakeable sound of a possum eating cat food on the deck. I flipped on the light and sure enough there he was.

What to do?

I grabbed my Model 62 Winchester and loaded some of these in it.

The box says 375 fps. I did not want to cause a ruckus and wake momma up.

These little babies are QUIET. I had to use a finisher on the silver grinner. He actually growled at me. In the end it didn't matter. Momma got her rest and the world is a better place now. I am going to use these as a go too varmint medicine.

Hey TK- BB guns work good too. Porcupines and bears don't like them either :mrgreen:

Do you use a high quality bb gun? Or air rifle as they like to be called?

I read an article about a guy who killed a bison with an air rifle. I wonder if I could wack a coyote with one....

I kill porcupines and just nudge along the bears. Jim Shockey has something on his channel that kills pigs.

What brand/model/size do you use? When do you mean brown bears?

Nicely done TK. Have seen shows using .40 cal air rifles I believe, shooting deer.

Some of those air rifles are as loud as a standard .22lr
