Ok, I was mowing around the pond , and OMG,I never seen so many darn turtles. Musta been 50+ of em.They range from 4" to 12" in size. My pond is about 1/2 to 3/4 acres.
They may start to upset the Eco balance in my fish reserve.
Them suckers aint afraid of the lawn mower either.
They just float there like they own the pond.
So , gots me to thinking,again, about not wasting all that .22 ammo.
Been doing the internet googleing of air rifles.
Specifically break barrel, specifically Nitro piston, in.22 cal.
Ive looked at Gamo, Crossman, RWS, Ruger.
I think Benjamin and Remington are made by Crossman.
I dont want to spend a ton of money, but I do want to be able to dispose of these unwanted critters without using any of my .22 ammo.
I have been wanting a decent air rifle for a long time, just never would cough up the deaux. I think Im ready.
Anybody got one, and can give me some advice?
Will these brake barrels even take care of a turtle.
You know they taste like chicken.
