Reminds me of a time years ago, I had been married just over a year and the wife called me at work frantic. I left work came home and mountain boomer lizard had got into the house. She was on the front porch with our new born daughter, no way was she going back in till it was gone. I chased that thing all over that house but I could not catch it for it going from one piece of furniture to the next. After about 45 minutes of it escaping every plan I had of trapping it, my frustration got the better of me. Went into bedroom grabbed the .410 shotgun and as that thing scurried across the living room floor Boom! I got it but the buckshot loaded in the 410 shotgun left a pretty good hole in the wood floor. I went back to work after cleaning up the mess.No way, Noda, ain't happ'in. all I see is some patch work from a 12 ga shotgun blast..
Yeah... no. I usually kill spiders with a fly swatter.
.22 Colibri will do a number on a tarantula without damaging the brickwork.No way, Noda, ain't happ'in. all I see is some patch work from a 12 ga shotgun blast..
Started reading your post and was thinking to myself "Hmmm...a .22 short or a shotgun, which one did he pick." LOL.Reminds me of a time years ago, I had been married just over a year and the wife called me at work frantic. I left work came home and mountain boomer lizard had got into the house.

My 22 at the time had a broke firing pin. It was the 410 or 12 gauge, just wished I remembered it was loaded with buckshot and switched it out. Had a thin no trespass sign I threw over the hole and covered it with a rug. Patched it a few weeks later.Started reading your post and was thinking to myself "Hmmm...a .22 short or a shotgun, which one did he pick." LOL.

That one would require a tennis racquet.
