Looking for the ultimate Rock salt load to give those pesky little varmints, a burning sensation they won’t soon forget.:)

Why?

if you are going to get rid of varmits, then do it the proper way. get a license and hunt them properly.. why criple or injure them, and let them suffer..??????

Sorry for sounding like an A$$ but as a hunter this type of thing ticks me off. if you need to shoot an animal (I'm not debating the reasons) then do it properly, and put the animal out of it's misery. Why blind or cripple it and let it get away..

I don`t think it was his intention to mame or cripple the animal only to have it suffer and die.
Like many of us who have heard stories (probably bull####) when we were kids of people being shot with rock salt and only suffering severe stinging.
He was thinking it would be a humane way to discourage animals from his proprty without being leathal.
But rather then taking a minute to think about his reasoning you chime in with your poorly thought out reply.
Why not try something like this.
If you shoot an animal with rock salt there is a very good chance that you will do serious and permanent damage and possibly kill the animal in a very slow painful and inhumane manner.
But no, it`s easier to be an ASS.:p
I mean that in the most friendly and politically correct way.
 
This was a not uncommon Manitoba farm load back when all but one team for chores was left to wander the countryside over winter helping themselves to whatever haystack/strawstack/leaking granary they came across. Tended to become a somewhat solid slug if left in the kitchen cupboard near the front door and the shotgun - was once headed to help Dad hitch the team up again to haul the "evidence" into the bush in the quarter north of us when it regained consciousness and left on its own.

well if you were not so young...rock salt was used to blast the the prick of a kid next door.. it was not to kill but to teach a lesson.you know the one that stole from his best friends mom and dad... next store:eek:
or do you remember the strap in school? do you remember the boot in the arse that taught you something? do you remember ever earning what you drive...do you remember you first pad?... do you remember the first pack of meat you put in you own fridge at your own place..do you remember your first piece with another? or you still solo? oh how i remember them days:redface:

I actually tried this on a local dog that was after my chickens. The salt didnt disperse when it left the barrel and near blew the mutt in half. Notwhat I wanted but he never bothered the chickens again.

Hell kids in this country don't know the strap anymore, I clearly remembered the cane!!!
Did you guys know that a guy's arse could really turn purple?
Mine was 3 different shades of blue and purple for all of my high school years
 
i remeber the belt i may be young *25* but my family still believes in it and when the belt stopped work the 1x4 came out only ever felt that once
as for rock salt umm thats kinda iffy you might try and replace the shot with some of those little plastic BB's you can get at the doller store bout the same size as #6 bird IIRC just load it infront of the wad and away you go

Since when did you shoot directly at something and NOT want to kill it..

whats the number one safety rule of owning a firearm. .. Don't point (or in this case actually shoot) at something you do not want to kill/destroy.

you DO NOT control the salt once the trigger is pulled, and with a 12 guage, then salt could easily spread in a wide pattern and hit something like the persons eye.

If his intentions were not to make it suffer or Die, he SHOULD NEVER HAVE SHOT DIRECTLHY AT IT.. if he wanted to scare it with the sound, then the shot type does not matter. as he said "a burning sensation they won’t soon forget." he wanted to Hit the animals, and HURT THEM.

Doing something as stupid as that gives both hunters, and gun owners a bad name. If being a ASS means being a responsible hunter/fireamr owner, then so be it.

Shooting animals with Salt is just stupid. Shooting it at someone is criminal.
 
Sounds like we have some Rabble and P.E.T.A members here, with zero reloading and ballistic knowledge. Some of the expert replies, on wildlife predatory animals eating out of the chicken coup, should just be killed.
Table salt at a distance of 15 feet barely penetrates the first layer of soft cardboard or otherwise skin deep. It is a proven fact that harassed animals will very rarely return to prey upon livestock. I will not call you names or comment on your uneducated ignorance on the subject matter. That would be a sign of immaturity.

FYI: Rock Salt and Table Salt are two different things. Suggest you read your first post again.

I never objected to the need to controlling varmits, I object to the use of load which is intended to wound them. If you have the need, then do it properly. a DEAD varmit never returns either. How's that for a "P.E.T.A" member..
 
Paint ball

:D I sure remember the strap, looked like a strop for sharpening knives:D and it stung pretty good.
I would use a Paint ball gun , and would be similar to someone stealing money in a bank , and gets die all over,LOL:)

Yes, the paintball gun is a very good and funny way of discouraging raccoons and other pests from doing all kinds of tricks to your belongings. Shoot them one or two in the hind quarters and they'll take off without asking for change.:)
This works for any four-legged critter, cat dog or whatever.
Have you ever been hit by a paintball? I can tell you it smarts.:eek:
PP.

Old lady who lived where my uncle grew up had a peach tree that was well thought of by the neighbourhood youth. Her husband kept a SxS stoked with rock salt and would let fly at anything picking his peaches. My uncle said he'd wait till you where running away and fire into all exposed buttocks. Took a lump or two himself, said the worst part was that he had to tough it out because if he told his parents they'ed have tanned his arse for him.

Ahh, the good old days!:D

Just a hint there skipper, they are probably talking about that two-legged sort of varmint that one is not supposed to kill.

ok can i ask you...what was salt rounds made for??? what was paint gun made for?
 
There was a dog that kept coming over and eating my parents chickens when i was a kid. It was a big hansome golden lab. I tried chasing him away .. spraying him with the hose .. he just thought i was playing a game.

Pretty soon that dog was going to get popped and not be me I really like dogs. The solution was simple. One well placed BB out of my Daisy Red Ryder into the meaty part of the side of his buttocks. He yelped once, tucked his tail between his legs and went home never to return. I am pretty sure I saved that dogs life.

I think the intent of the rock salt is to do the same thing. Some better options may be the BB, a paintball or even a shot of pepper spray.
