Took a few "practice" shots in the back yard this morning (made sure the neighbors couldn't see) and made a couple tree rats take off with a little more than a wounded pride.
If they keep coming back, I'll have to "pump up" my presentation a little more. (10X instead of 3X)
My brother wanted me to take care of a couple of pigeons that had been coming to our yard. I had to explain to him that they aren't a problem because they only came to the yard because of the cheap birdseed and breadcrumbs that get scattered in the yard.
The real problem are the squirrels, because they are destructive in many ways. They will destroy bird feeders, birdhouses, dig up garden beds and plants, chew up lots of veggies BEFORE they are even close to harvestable size, and they leave their little turd pellets all over the place.
Only time will tell whether or not they get to stay or go to "critter heaven"!
