Quoted: Quoted: I once "hunted" baby birds using a salad fork taped to the end of a broom handle. A "bird gig", if you will... I was living in post housing at Ft. Riley, KS and these damned sparrows were nesting under the eaves of my place and $h!tting all over my patio & BBQ grill. I could see the baby birds sticking their heads out from the nests(about 4 or 5 different nests). It took me all of 15 seconds to realize that I had the items at hand to fashion a very efficient weapon for the job at hand. I took an old salad fork and used some 100-mph tape to attach it to the end of a broomstick that I had. I was "hunting" 5 minutes later...a baby bird would stick it's head out of it's nest and "WHAP!", I'd gig it through the noggin and drop it into a bucket that I had sitting just outside the patio door. When I'd get 3 or 4 birds in the bucket, I'd take them inside & give them a "burial at sea" by flushing them down the toilet. It didn't take too long to take care of the problem...heh heh heh...[headbang] That's nasty. And it certainly doesn't adhere to the rules of fair chase..... real proud are you????? I gotta agree with Only_Hits on this one.... |

I was in a "motel" in the middle of Nevada, and ended up hunting rats with my Ka-Bar. I didn't catch any, as there were too many small holes for them to escape.

It's no different than giggin frogs is it?
He was just trying to remove pest in an expedeant manner. Animal pest can cause a lot of damage if not killed of when needed. You guys hear about the girl scouts in Fairbanks? |

1) Rats - Broomstick
2) Rats - Garbage bag and Louisville slugger 3) Gopher - Broomstick and noose 1) Adak, Alaska 1987-88. Damned Norwegian Black Rats all over the place. No guns allowed. Improvised with broomsticks. 5-6 guys shake a dumpster - when the rats run out, you start whacking. 2) Still in Adak. Slightly different dumpster method. Hold a clear garbage bag over the drainage hole of dumpster. Shake dumpster. Rat bails out of dumpster and into the garbage bag. Hold bag (and rat) about chest high. Batter up. 3) Inserted eyescrew into the top of broomstick. Tie boot lace onto eyescrew. Create noose out of boot lace and lay over opening of gopher hole. Lay down low next to hole. When gopher pops up, pull with all your might. Snare gopher out of hole. Swing the gopher around in circles so it doesn't get out of noose. Realize that you haven't thought about what you will do once you have a snared gopher. Swing gopher wildly in circles while you think. Walk towards tree while still swinging gopher. Whap! Dead gopher. If you have never hunted with a stick, you haven't hunted. |

They were pests. Period. I "hunted" them and eliminated the problem. |

I've seen deer dropped with a bolt action .22 lr. I don't trust my shooting enough for that, though... I need a larger caliber with more punch.

I've killed garden slugs with an air pistol, a mockingbird with a rock, squished thousands of ants on the sidewalk with a rubber ball, sparrows in the shop with an improvised blowgun, hunted bumblebees with a switch (bad idea, they can fight back), and blue crabs in an estuary with a .22 rimfire. The crabs are excellent to hunt - they are wary and fast.
I bowled a squirrel over with a baseball sized rock one morning, but it didn't seem to have much affect, except you couldn't get within a 100 yards after that. The best was hunting rattlesnakes at Michael Field, Utah - with a fishing pole. After the first TDY there, someone got the idea to take mouse traps and a bait casting rod on the next trip out. The idea was to trap mice out of the shack, truss them up alive on the end of the fishing line, cast them into likely looking rattler country (that would be anywhere you could see), then slowly troll them back hoping for a strike where the snake would hang on. Old habits of setting a hook are hard to break, and I don't think we ever got a snake back, but it was something to do. |

Was 16 and tried hunting Whitetail with a Sig 229 in .357 Sig. Damn near buried myself in brush, dirt, and leaves near the feeder hoping to take out a doe. It was near the end of the season and the deer population was getting a bit too large. Decided that I needed a challenge is this was the best I could come up with.
Of course, they were too smart for that and none came close enough. I wanted a headshot only...no point in wounding one. |
