BCeagle 12 Posted June 13, 2011 Little bastards come back every year. 1st year I used amonia in the hole, but last year I dont think it worked. I saw basically a smoke bomb that goes in the hole and eats away the oxygen, looks like a flare. Can I just use a flare or should I get the actual bomb. Any other ideas? (would love to sit on a chair with a 22 and a cool lemonade and wait, but dont think my town would appreciate it) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCeagle 12 Posted June 14, 2011 Crossbow. That would be soooooooo awesome, extra points if I pin it to the tree behind the hole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought about filling the hole with fireworks then covering the hole, if it didnt suffocate it would get the **** scared out of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Shoot_It_All 13 Posted June 14, 2011 They would notice the very large bang. But in this state TCB with a .22 is the end of the world Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackDaWack 2,895 Posted June 14, 2011 I dunno man, that could get pretty hairy if they dug under your houses foundation, or shed. Not sure if you want to eliminate the structure they've been digging under along with them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crackaloon 15 Posted June 14, 2011 I grew up with those things in my backyard and the only (reasonable) thing that worked was live traps and a drive to the county park. By the way, if you corner them they will come at you. Their teeth look bigger that way. If you sneak up on the babies, and the mom catches you, mom can scream like the loudest woman you've ever heard. Very surpriseing since they're usually super silent.

Steve_G 51 Posted June 14, 2011 I had 2 living under the shed until 2 years ago. Right about the same time my Rottie stuck her head under there trying to get them. Guess they don't like Rotweillers much. Too bad, I'd love to pop a mini mag in one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crackaloon 15 Posted June 14, 2011 I should add that letting them go in a county park may not be 100% legal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,895 Posted June 14, 2011 I should add that letting them go in a county park may not be 100% legal. I don't believe your allowed to capture and relocated any animal with out the proper authorization. I could be wrong but we asked about moving a goose nest a couple years ago and got a big negative on that. It was dead center in a parking lot with grass/dirt dividers...dunno why they picked that spot, the geese were always chasing cars and people around the parking lot when they got too close.

crackaloon 15 Posted June 14, 2011 So, don't get caught not killing animals and don't get caught killing them. Simple solution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCeagle 12 Posted June 14, 2011 I thought about just making a simple snare, the hole isnt that big that it would be pretty easy to catch it going in and out, would prefer not to kill it. Wanted to get some use out of the army field guide. My dad has a trap I may try that and then relocate it, law be damned, there is a forest a block away.

Steve_G 51 Posted June 14, 2011 You can trap them with a have a heart trap. Then you have to call animal control to come pick them up. They usually take the animal and your cage and return the cage when they get around to it. It's a bunch of BS. A .22 is so much easier, and much more economical.

Legalities of that suggestion aside..i dont know as i'd trust a Pellet, even a .22 pellet from anythign other than a VERY high-end air rifle to dispatch a Chuck cleanly.

Pew Pew Plates 358 Posted June 15, 2011 They have alot of pellet guns with surpressors built into the barrel. Pellet guns in free states are not firearms and because of that dont have to abide by NFA restrictions. However, in NJ, a pellet gun is a firearm. A firearm with a supressor in NJ is a big no no! While you are still not violating NFA (federally it is OK) NJ doesnt allow supressors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
