410 shot gun, will have to wait about 2 weeks before I can pick it up. Rego papers handed in today.

Nice, I like the nickel/wood Stoeger coach

Purchased this one:
The Boito Single Barrel Shotgun, is a no nonsense firearm. It features an external hammer for coughing, with safety that blocks the hammer. Spent cases are lifted out of the chamber by the extractor for easy removal. Hardwood stock stock features rubber recoil pad. This low cost firearm is the perfect companion around the farmhouse for dispatching pests. The 410 is an excellent gun for young, and beginner shooters.

Pets are part of our family, I could not do that unless it was emergency situation, and no time/location to get a Vet in.

Sadly I was wearing my glasses

This should probably go in the Etiquette thread - but I cant find it !


AirAsia passenger shares disgusting pictures of woman who put her feet on her armrest through the whole four-hour flight A Chinese woman said she endured the worst flight of her life when her armrest was occupied by the bare feet of a fellow passenger for four hours. The woman, named Ms Wu, said her rear passenger, who is allegedly also Chinese, reached out from behind and rested her feet on her chair during the AirAsia flight FD588 from Bangkok to Xi'an on November 29. Ms Wu said she complained to the hostess, but was told nothing could be done because 'they are all Chinese'.

I haven't used a 410 for years. What pests are you wanting to use it against?

Cheeky house sitters?

 

[JohnM]

Cheeky house sitters?

It would take more than a titchy 410 to rid the place of those .

 

[Bindibuys]

Cheeky house sitters?

Would just change the code for the front door

We had a black near the back door last weekend, and Son had one fall off his roof during the week.
In 23 years here I have only seen 3.
Not naive to think that is all there is. The house block is 1 acre, and that's what I count as "seeing" them.
Heaven knows how many over the entire 100 acres.
Admitting my age and agility these days, what I would once chase with a shovel, I will now chase with a 410

Assume that's a black snake as opposed to an uhm ... un-PC black?
