I assure you they don't make a noise out of my suppressed machinegun. ;)

 

What about making a silencer with a 2 liter coke bottle, ala the hero in Shooter.

Doesn't make sense to me to pay $200 and wait 3 months on a Form 1 tax stamp for a suppressor that only works a couple times.

Right we get it already..you live in America, we dont yadda yadda yadda.

AFAIK, if you trap a pest it's only legal to release it on your own property. With regards to ground hogs, my dogs catch them and then bring the hissing critters and drop them at my feet. I don't have any on my property though.

How bout it.

Nuisance Wildlife

Relocation of nuisance wildlife must be evaluated on a case by case basis. Whenever possible, habitat

alteration (i.e., capping chimney) and education of the homeowner in order to allow release on site is

encouraged. Failure to remedy the situation by using exclusionary devices or removing the attractant

(i.e., garbage) will guarantee that the problem will continue even if the offending animal is removed. If

release on site is not practical, relocation must follow the guidelines below.

Before relocating any adult wildlife during the spring and summer, a search for their newborn animals

should be conducted. If found, these young must be relocated with the adults. Any trapped nuisance

wildlife that appears to be injured or sick should be placed with a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for

evaluation prior to release.

If release on site or relocation of a nuisance animal will create a new problem, euthanasia of the problem

animals should be considered. Property owners and occupants of dwellings, or their agents in writing,

may control property damage by lawful means when suffering such damage from squirrel, raccoon,

opossum, skunk, weasel and woodchucks (N.J.A.C. 7:25-5.21). If euthanasia is found to be the only

viable method of control, the above species may be euthanized according to the methods declared as

acceptable or conditionally acceptable in the most recent report of the American Veterinary Medical

Page 3 of 5

Association (AVMA) Guidelines on Euthanasia. The AVMA report states drowning is not an acceptable

method of euthanasia. Other municipal and state laws apply.

Most other wildlife species are controlled by state and/or federal regulations and lethal control measures

are regulated by the Division of Fish and Wildlife and in some cases, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

 

So good to have lived long enough to see google :icon_e_ugeek:

I Know.. I can check out a supressed M-4 out of the armory and go play whenever I want..I Just dont come on here and beat my chest about it with every other post.

Anyone have a ferret they want to lend me to send into the hole.

The Gopher Gas and a garbage can lid over the hole should do the trick.

Gas bomb didn't work?

 

You could pour some gasoline in there and light the fumes. Might have yourself a flaming Marmot running around that'd be hard to explain though.

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)

 

 

C4 ??? =@

 

There are also less fun ways using repellents that should work.

What kind of suppressors? I'm using Gemtech HALO in both 5.56 and .22. I find it better for .22 than 5.56. Yes, I know .22 is more effective to suppress. It just seems louder than other 5.56 suppressors, although I've only shot it on 11.5" uppers and never compared apples to apples. But it works surprisingly well for .22.

OK, Malsua. I just wondered what he was up to (ignoring the complaining about me). My bad.

Just be careful if you use the poison smoke bombs...if the burrows go to your foundation the smoke will go right under your siding through any gaps and right into your walls. And those burrows may go for dozens of yards, so if you drop the bombs on the other side of your property, the smoke may still travel to the foundation.

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.

 

 

 

I hate to be a NJGF wacko AGAIN but here goes. I also hear that relocation is not legal. Well sometimes when critters are ruining your property you gotta grow up and make a decision. I live trapped a racoon and several skunks over several years. All but one are happily living in the woods/country. The ONE skunk that didn't make it.... well, don't ask.

 

If and when a nosey neighbor turns me in I'll pay the fine and move on to Plan B. Again, don't ask. So the Gov. and ASPCA and EPA and all can buzz off. I can handle business on my property.

 

Just to continue my rant. In my town and probably yours too, you must get permission to cut down a tree on YOUR property. How is that for liberty and common sense????

 

And finally. Did you know that people kill deer with guns, gut them and then eat them? How utterly disgusting! They should be fined and sent to jail.

 

Love to all.

When I lived up north, I maybe used to live trap groundhogs (and an occasional Possum) and relocate them to a local non-working farm about 10 miles away. I was told you have to move them at least 5 miles or they will find their way back. I guess if they could make it across Rt 22 and cross the Raritan River, they were welcome back. One rather large and menacing ground hog might possibly have been accidentally shot in the head by someone with a .22.

Its right up against the cinder block of the foundation. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Odd place though righ in a corner. I dont thinkits deep either, I filled it with water once and the jerk came scurrying out. He has left most of the garden alone except the cucumber plants.

 

I am going to go for it anyway. I closed up the hole yesterday and he didnt open it up yet. I plan on using duct tape (always need to find a use for it) to a 4 ft stick, shoving the stick as far in as possible and then lighting the fuse. I have 5 seconds to shove the stick in and cover the hole with dirt.

I got one of these bastards eating my grass in my back yard. I kept eyeing him up from my bathroom window. Too bad I only have a SCAR17 to blast his a**! No .22lr here!

There's one that comes in my yard sometimes. I don't care if he eats the grass. But if he digs, he dies.

 

I have a few small holes, but they were here when I moved in.

 

Haven't had to kill anything except mice since I moved here.

A .22LR has never done the job really well for me no matter where i place the shot, it takes at least two rounds....they are tough.

I use a .17 and it's never failed first shot,27 kills over 2 years on this property.

Ive found the best method to stop them returning is to kill one and stuff it back down the hole and cover it over.

Good luck!
