I'd like to have one of those pellet guns. They are neat "tools".
Cecil, I understand your situation regarding neighbors but I prefer more permanent discouragements.
Well Dave I do too, but you can get into a heep of trouble up here if they catch you shooting one without a permit. I know a doctor that did and they fined the *iss out of him and made him do community service. It would be a real gamble for me as cars drive by on the highway all the time, and you never know if some do gooder would see you. Many people have the misconception since they are protected by the Federal government they are endangered. Not so.
And one more thing. My premises can be inspected at any time without a permit as a taxidermist. Alledegly conservation officers don't need a warrant, although I have colleages that say that is no longer the case.
