This guy and his buddy are visiting my chicken runs/coops every night. So far they haven't gotten any (that I can tell). Last night, his luck ran out. I may have cured his addiction to chicken.

Shots were from about 50 yards, through a peach tree. 5.56, two shots, both hit. This was captured on my Dahua DH-TPC-BF5421-T. He was just barely in the frame. Rifle is a Core-15, AR-15 with a DNT thermal/NV scope.

Despite two hits, and playing dead for a sec, he gets up and limps away. I'm sure he didn't last more than a few minutes. Built like a Seiko watch (or an A-10 Warthog)...

I have the 15-22 as well. Lots of fun plinking. Get a can for it and sub-sonic ammo and you can shoot things without making any noise (other than the bold action and target report).

I'm about to put the Henry 22LR 'dillo rifle back into service; I mowed the back 1/2 acre last night and the little bastages have left craters everywhere, almost about threw my back out a couple of times when one wheel of the riding mower would go down in one.

I've got a LED flashlight and a red dot on it, just "point and click" from the hip.

They're bad up here in TN... Come all hours of the night and early AM. Rutting my in-law's yard bad. Not as bad as the boar, but enough, like you said, to blow out an ankle/knee/back. I'd sit on their porch and wait, but the mosquitos are almost as bad as in FL right now.

5 or 6 years ago I killed 10 in a week but I had gotten serious about it. I didn't see any more 'dillo damage for over 3 years at least...only in the last year.

At that time I placed an old indoor 640 x 480 Trendnet wireless P/T cam on the bottom step of the front steps.
BI would send me a text with a snapshot within 5 seconds, the snap would tell me which way to turn when I hit the steps, left toward the road or right toward the woods where he lived.
I slept in a recliner in the living room about 12 feet from the front door, the Henry ready at the door, took me about 10 seconds to get out the door.
As much as I'd like to do that again, this chemo-therapy has taken what little good rest I get so I might get into it a little but doubt I can hold up like I did 5 years ago and bag so many in a short time span.....but boy, I sure would like to.
Dem fargin' bastages!:confused:

We have coyotes too, but it's the gophers in the vegetable garden that ruin my life. The bigger chicken threat by me is foxes. They easily jump the fences that coyotes either can't or don't.

Oh man, I'm sorry to read about your treatment. I wish you the best of luck with your prognosis. Have you heard about Fenbendazol? There's a very compelling first-hand account from a guy in OK (IIRC) who had the worst possible news. But has broken all kinds of records for survivability for stage 4 metastatic small cell lung cancer. Joe Tippens is his name. If you haven't heard of him or his online diary of his journey from beginning to current, it's certainly worth a read. The Blog – Get Busy Living The crazy part is the lengths to which the government has gone to keep him from sharing his story. And now there are hundreds (if not thousands) of me-too testimonies on his facebook page... Log into Facebook

After seeing how the government shut down alternatives to the vaccines, and threatened to revoke medical licenses for discussing those alternatives with patients, I have become increasingly more skeptical of any "official narrative", and much more open-minded to alternatives. sorry to hijack my own thread...

I have stage 4 metastatic lung cancer and as such pay attention to these reports. I've learned to take them with a grain of salt. My general conclusion is that there are cases where some unconventional treatment has worked or healing/remission has coincidentally occurred, then the story spreads claiming a proven cure for a wide swath of cancer cases. There are (my guess) over 50 different specific types of lung cancer, and a treatment that works for one type won't do a thing for another. My type is a gene defect (as are all cancers) that is able to be identified as a specific defect of one out of the tens of thousands of genes. There is a drug for it that treats this and only a couple of other specific gene defects. What I have is considered incurable, but the drug very abruptly halts further growth, until it doesn't, statistically a few years down the road. At that point the gene defect mutates into a different defect that may or may not be treatable. In addition to the treatment drug I've been taking ivermectin and mebendazol (legal human form of fenben) with no observable effect. I'm very much a poster boy for the documented outcome of the treatment drug.
