Pellet rifle. Effective, accurate, quiet.

Trust me.

Screw the pellet rifle. That ain't gonna plant that sucker.

I would suggest a sub sonic .22. Only slightly louder than a pellet gun and much more lethal.

It'd be easier whack the cat and give the kid a possum to play with. Then you can feed it up good, take it to Possum Fights and make good money on it for a year. Then next Christmas bake it with an apple in its mouth. It's a win/win proposition.

But I WANT the Big Bang. Just to remind my neighbors Screw You. I was here first.

Just shoot the fucker, and be done with it. In a situation such as this, it's OK to lie about it.

If your neighbors have a problem with it, shoot them.

Why do some people want to complicate something so simple?

I might need to talk with the Mutant.

No challenge in plugging the creature. I say use the bullwhip.

A person could shoot anyone or anything on my street with nothing more said than, "When the fuck is that asshole next door going to get tired of shooting cans into that damn pond?"

(Meanwhile, I give my dog a muscle relaxer and tell the kids to play in the front yard.)

I have a groundhog problem. Well, I used to, until I shoved a double barrel down their hole and gave 'em both barrels.

One little bastard remains. In the spring, I intend to build a remotely-triggered trebuchet, and fling the little SOB into orbit.

I want to find out of groundhogs can scream, like frogs

While there is nothing wrong with wanting to shoot the 'possum because you want to shoot him, keep in mind that we've had cats and dogs both for years, co-habitating with 'possums and 'coons, and never had a critter related veterinary experience.

Shoot'em, but be honest with yourself about why...as for my neighbors, they're already used to the "big bang."

I gotta uncle, Sherwood, something to definitely name you next born, he shoots squirrels straight off the back porch in a city. He leave thw 22 right by the door, opens it when the little bastids start to climb that big ass tree, then "pop". End of squirrel. I think he picks 'em up onced a week.

I recommend the sub-sonic .22s. You have enough bullet to kill the possum and nobody except you will hear it. Those things are quiet.

Then, if you want to impress the neighbors, go outside and fire a shotgun into the air.

I have those little buggers, too, and I think they've been nesting underneath my hot tub.

I can deal with them, it's the new visitor I'm concerned about. For the last few weeks, I've had a skunk wandering around my backyard around 1:00AM every night. A few nights ago, I was hearing scratching noises in the yard and went out to investigate. The little bastard was right outside my door, and damned if I didn't kick him before I saw him.

Thankfully he didn't spray me, he just kind of turned around and looked at me as if to say, "Try that one more time, buddy and see what I've got for you."

I'd tell ya to use a bow, but my brother shot one three different times, each time thinking he had killed it. All three arrows were right through the body, the last pinning it to the ground. About five minutes passed, and he heard the damn thing trying to chew through the arrow. He cut the head off. No question of death there.

You need more than a .22 for a possum. We had one crawl up inside a truck engine my husband was overhauling. Took five shots from a .38 to kill that monster. It just kept on hissin' at us. Scared the whiz out of our dogs, that's for sure.

.. you can borrow my cricket bat if you really want to have some fun... heh... c'mon, man... kick in your bloodthirsty gene... after all, it's almost Christmas...

Fire the weapon from inside a barely open window. Makes it nice & quiet. But be sure & use enough gun- possums are tough critters. Once it's dead- drop it in the freezer to save it for the Possum Drop next month. What's a Possum Drop, you ask?

I've been waiting months for another chance to get people looking at that.

I think things are askew at the Velocihovel. Give the gun to the daughter to protect her own cat, ala my girl Christina http://feistyrepartee.blogspot.com/ .

This is how I understood the order of things in the south, men protected the womenfolk and womenfolk protected the critters. Has this changed?

If you want a dead possum with maximum effect on the neighbors, a good ol' .30-30 will do the job nicely. Just make sure he's not standing on any gas lines or anything...

(Oh, and og... I nearly spewed soda out of my nose reading your comments about the groundhogs and the trebuchet... Because I've made the same comment about the groundhogs at the G compound...)
