So with .17HMR, your family joules would be much larger? ;)

You ever seen what they do to a lawn? :eek:

Seriously, there are gigantic piles of dirt all over the freakin' place. Not only does my lawn look like a bomb site, the molehills make it damned hard to mow...

*sigh*

Fuckers can dig about 100 feet of tunnel (with corresponding molehills every 2 feet or so) per day. It doesn't take long to destroy my once gorgeous yard, and if you don't kill 'em, they keep making more. Constantly (moles never hibernate and they make babies year 'round).

ARRRGHGGGHHH!!

Last year, I got this 9-incher with my trusty Mossberg.

OK.

I make it a policy to yield to armed, angry women.

I think we probably have widely different attitudes about lawns. Happy hunting!

:D Not much gets me as riled up as a mole shredding my lawn. Once upon a time, it looked like this:

Now? Not so much... :sniff:

That's a pretty lawn, Glinda.

(is your sidearm holstered?)

...

It also looks like endless work. Nature just doesn't make space like that. I can't afford a greenskeeper, and I don't want to be one. But I admire the work, just beautiful.

footfootfoot 05-23-2011 04:09 PM

Nine inches? That's no mole,

No sidearms. Just my faithful Mossberg. My tenant (lives in a 5th wheel on my land) has a few guns, but he leaves the mole killin' to me. ;)

Oh, it IS endless work, but it makes me happy. It's my first yard - lived in apts and condos since I was 18 (and I'm olllllld now). When I decided it was time to ditch city life, I bought a place on 1.14 acres just north of America's Vancovuer *, and went nuts with lawns and rose bushes and fruit trees and berry bushes and veggie beds and, of course, chickens (I've SO turned into my mother).

By the way, that's only the front lawn. There's a side and backyard lawn too... :eek:

Am I crazy? Yes. Yes, I am. Isn't that why we're all here?!?


* You're in Seattle, right? If you ever get down this way, give me a holler. We can get the grill going, make a nice fire in the fire pit out front, have a few cocktails, tell a few stories, and wait for the moles to show themselves. Yee-HAW!! :D

Bunny? You shot Lola Bunny?

footfootfoot 05-31-2011 10:22 PM

This one's gonna be a drum head.
Though I was tempted to make a bag after seeing this video:


I'll tell you though, the fuckers stink! I did have to leave this one set out in the heat for an hour or two before I could get to it. Mrs. Foot was giving the kids a bath and I saw it out the window.

They were in the next room and didn't even say "What was that sound?"

damn thing is quiet.

I had to wait till everyone was in bed, it would have been too exiting right before bed.

I'm out of the closet, so to speak, as far as family public opinion is concerned. "Every man for himself and God against all"

So I just went out with a flash light and bagged it and put it in the freezer while I decide how I want to skin it. The fur is supposed to be shit, but the leather tough as nails. The fucker is well stinky, I ain't eating that shit.
