Fathers Day Present

No bag limit in bc on raccoons. The raptors are helpful and safe. The best is catching a baldie trying to nail a chicken. Super clumsy hunters. The hawks though - they know what to do.

We've been luck with the raptors and other predator animals actually, the area we live in has a ton of small wildlife. So the racoons, skunks and coyotes have ample natural food to keep them happy. The rats have been leaving the chickens alone but feeding on the feed we suement their ranging with, but have started going after cauliflower and red cabbage growing in the garden. So open season it is, I'm happy to co exist with all the critters in the neighbourhood but not when we start loosing food or chickens.
 
Oh, "Gophers" Of course. That makes a bit more sense there, eh?

You had to go and ruin the fun.
I was sitting here laughing thinking that would make a good Monty python skit.
Someone knocking golfers on the head.
Throwing them in their urban SUV and dumping them in the country.
Then Mr.farmer shots the crowd of golfers for trampling his crops.

Back to the OP nice SKS
 
U people live in the wilderness and wonder when all the wild animals come to your door. Killing cougars, golfers and racoons is something to brag about on the internet. WOW


I bagged this one last weekend. It was a tough shot. He was standing behind his Caddy, and I couldn't get a clear shot. So I waited, and I thought to myself "Relax, he's got to putt sometime". Sure enough, his approach landed on the green and he stepped clear of his Caddy. He was magnificent. I took a deep breath, yelled fore and squeezed. He took off like a rabbit. I went to the green to look for sign and to see if I hit him. Sure enough, I found some tees and a trail of golf balls leading towards the path. I followed his trail, as I am quite a skilled tracker. Sure enough, after about 30 yards or so, I found him lying next to an electric cart holding a cell phone with his stock broker still connected on the other end. They say that when a golfer is hit, the last thing they will do is try and panic sell some shares. I was very proud. Right now he's at the taxidermist. I can't decide whether I want a full size teeing off mount or if I just want to get a rug made.

Here are some pics of the magnificent bastard.

Ahh ha ha ha ah aha ahhhhaa thats awesome Deano first time I have actually laughed out loud on the comp in a long time. Love it man
 
Wish I knew how to post pictures of what a chicken coop looks like when a raccoon figures out how to break in and a all night party in there. Wasn't one left alive. Ended up getting 3 raccoons that came back for seconds. Had a weasel get into the baby chicks once also looked like chaos in there and I couldn't replace them either.
 
Christ, remind me to squeeze my sks into my golf bag next time I go. That's gonna make a nice rug. I should be able to set up near the sand bunker, seen lots of tracks there.
 
Just keep in mind that when you're golfer hunting, the regulations are very strict. You cannot bait them. So, if you were planning on putting out a sleeve of balls or setting up a stand within 30 metres of a ball washing station, that's illegal. While technically legal, it's considered poor sport to shoot anywhere near the drink cart girl. It's just too easy.

Thinking I'll get the teeing off mount for this guy. The shirt doesn't really match anything in the trophy room, so I think it would make for an ugly rug. Next year, Im going to hold out for a plaid pants golfer. I think that would make an excellent rug.
 
I like to set up near a water hazard. Once a ball goes in the drink they tend to be very preoccupied and will remain relatively motionless for long periods of time, great for setting up longer shots, but sometimes you have to drag them out of the water afterwards . Oops, there I go bragging. ;)
