Shameless. come on up a 'practice' getting a fox for me, PLEASE  .The city and MNR (wildlife dept) won't do a dang thing. It will saunter by you within 6-8 feet...has killed dozens of hens , 3-4 cats, cornered Cloudy on both back and front decks. Ditzy neighbour feeds it...sigh... can't use guns, no cc permit( handguns aren't allowed up here), 12ga too dang awkward to carry around....

would love to get a flare pistol....buy CV19 has sports stores shutdown... coon rtap is too small...

 Hey Jay,,you need to get you one of those pellet guns, with the break over barrel that are in the neighborhood of bout 1200 FPS,,,,,,

 These are awesome for ground squirells at bout  40-50 yards and very quiet,,!! If your Dizty neighbor lives farther than across the street,,,they'll never hear it,,!! I've used mine for ground squirels with the neighbor working in his yard and he never knew I was shooting at his ground squirells,,,,,,

 They have a dovetail receiver and I have a Tasco 3X9 variable sighted in dead-on at 40 yards. You can buy the pellets that have a spire point and a modified boat tail that are fantastic for accuracy,,,,, 

I'd love to carry my .22 but it's 'frowned upon' (illegal) to walk around with any pistol. Mine has an 8" barrel, single shot.truely hand made(cept barrel). great grandfather was a well respected gunsmith in town...it's the ONLY thing I have of his.

i hve a Marla pellet rifle but yeesh carrying it around is a pain... I already need 6 arms to do the stuff I NEED to do, let alone have a weapon HANDY.... flare pistol seemed a good idea.... A BIG trap would work, then the 22.....
