12 gauge, I've never seen them standing still to shoot with a .22

That's why it's fun hunting Snowshoe's in low pines. They either sit still thinking you can't see them or they run for a ways and stop. Nothing like a full size scope to pick out that little black eye and "bing" dinner! wink

Ive got a 17 but, yet to shoot anything with it. Very fast and accurate just think it could make things real messy. I got one with a 22 hornet while fox hunting once and left very little for the frying pan. Try it and see but shoot for the head.

Does anyone else out there use an air rifle? Thats about the only gun i go out with anymore and it is very deadly out to about 30 yards, thats as far as ive tried.

I have a gammo thats 1000 fps that I use for the cottontails, tree rats, ditch tigers and chipmunks around the house works great till they get into the pole barn around the boat then I use the paintball gun.

I have shot small critters with my 17HMR and not done too much damage. I shot 4 squirells one aft and shot them in the head. No damage at all. One was shot in the mid section and it was not really damaged too bad.

Shoot the bunny through the stomach and you should not damage much at all.

Back when there were still good numbers of snowshoes around Ely, I liked to plink them with my .22 Colt Woodsman. Move slowly and quietly through the swamp, looking for that tell-tale black of an eye or an ear-tip.

One day I had good the good fortune to have a nice red fox come trotting through the swamp doing what I was doing. He stretched out nicely.....

I have a Savage model 24 over/under. .22 ont he top and .410 on the bottom. That's the gun for me!

I also have the same savage great little gun and mine shoots slugs really well also. It's to bad they stopped making that comb now you can find .223 12 gauge or .222 20 gauge my buddy has been looking for another .22 .410 after borrowing mine for lots of years.

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
