The Trophy of a Lifetime!!!

Post by Mr. Neutron » Mon Dec 19, 2022 5:31 pm

Was headed outside today to function check some new lead reloads for my .380 ACP/Ruger LCP Max. Threw some ear muffs on, stepped outside, and this goofy mole was runnin’ (crawling?? Doin’ the Breast Stroke???) 45 miles an hour (estimated ;) ) across the top of my lawn! I had no idea they moved that fast above land. It just wasn’t quite fast enough for “Quick Draw Jimmie”, however……

Fortunately, my reloads worked well, and I was able to save myself from potentially horrific danger! I now know that if it woulda charged, my firearm and ammo are both up to the task!

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Geez, Fellas, y'all made me laugh so hard when I read this that I spewed out some of my cereal I was havin' for breakfast! :oops: :lol:
Had to stop and clean the screen on my laptop here..... :mrgreen:

I actually shoot quite few of these destructive little bass turds. Use my .45 auto, 12 ga. pump, just whatever I happen to have handy. Just kinda point a gun at a movin' dirt pile and shoot...... I shot one with my .45 one day years ago at point blank range. "Accidentally" shot it in the head. :o When my then 14 yr. old son came out of the house to see what all the shootin' was about, I tried to convince him that I head shot the thing at 30+ yards with my 1911! :mrgreen: He's wasn't as gullible as I was at 14...... :mrgreen:

I suppose my neighbors think I'm nuts standin' around lookin' at the ground while holdin' a shotgun some days :shock: , but I'm good with that. They leave me alone.... ;) Somethin' has to be done when a critter tries to build a replica of the Cascade Mtn. Range in your yard, huh, BrokenoleMarine? :roll: :)
