PSA: 7.62x39 is NOT a Varmint Round

Brought a smile to my face. I walked in from work one day only to see my fiance sitting underneath the living room coffee table with a blanket over it while aiming out the open patio door with my Marlin .22 auto loader popping squirrels in our veggie garden. apparently she had someone install a 8in can on it and the thing sounded quiet as a mouse fart.
im not ashamed to say i was a little aroused by the incident.

you spray paint a little gopher silloette on your wall or something. 4 more and your a goher ace.

Missouri, goddamnit. The Real Kansas City is in Missouri.

OK, I'll be the one to ask:

Why didn't you just use the .22? What kind of hellish, mutant vermin do you have up there in Missouri?

Or a silencer.

I've shot a couple rabbits with 00 Buckshot just for funsies. You should give that a try the next time a critter invades your property. Sometimes those bastards just can't be reasoned with and you have to do things the hard way.

Edit: My buddy is dieing to shoot a cow with his new Barrett.

.22 or .50BMG

Why go between?

...I forgot double jaw leg traps, nerve gas and hand grenades......

My wife's grandpa had the best answer to gophers. Fill the gopher hole eith Propane, light the propane. Wasn't the safest thing to do, but there are few things funnier than watching an old man risk his life in an anti-gopher crusade.

Not sure that'd be sufficient.

Nice story Phrost!

If you guys want to be a little more covert though, you need to use a conibear (at least a #220 or maybe even a #330 and stake it down really well). It makes hardly and noise, and you'll most likely kill it when the trap deploys, and if you don't it'll be stuck right there. Don't put one out if you like your neighbor's cats and dogs...

There is a relative derth of cats in my neighborhood now, but no more cat poop in my kids sandbox...

you'll need trap setters, and be carefull setting the traps, if you're not, you can break one of your hands.
