I live in downtown Oakland CA next to lake Merrit. On my property I have bird feeders, water gardens and bird watering stations. I've had to place screened covers over my water gardens to keep out raccoons. My birdfeeders are the squirrl proof type. But on occassion a squirrl gets an attitiude about it and damages or destroys the feeder. The raccoons sometimes destroy the recycling pump on my bird watering fountain along with digging up the garden from time to time.
Mr. Kalishnakof didn't just create a great assult rifle. He also created an olympic competition pellet pistol. Do a search for IZH46. One lever pump and it's bye bye anything up to a raccoon with a head shot in my yard. It also has a low sound profile and the neighbors never suspect a thing. They being typical Liberal Tree Hugging tardlings. They enjoy my little island of wildlife, but abhore my expalining how squirrls are fuzzy tailed rats that destroy PROPERTY and cost you money in repairs. Or that rocky raccoon is not the cute critter from walt disney, but is a dangerous creature that carries rabies and the plauge along with destroying property and harming or killing your pets. I had to go through the 21 shot Pasture rabies series to the stomach muscles when I was 7.
I can open my kitchen window and take out problem squirrls. Or stay up a bit later, then use my combat light into the night time back yard and eliminate raccoons caught dirty handed destroying my hard work. Funny how some squirrls will watch you put in new plants one day and then next morning dig them all up. Or raccoons come through in the night and destroy your water pump or tear up new plantings. Used to cost me upwards of $1000 a year some years. The IZH46 is less than $400 and kills them every time........
My property, my garden, my hard earned money wasted by tree rats and bushy tailed dirt dogs..........
But now dead tree rats and dirt dogs yipppiiieeeee................
