Protecting the Homestead



Wills has provided an arsenal for defending our home. The bottom drawer in the kitchen has been turned in to our weapons drawer. What do we use the weapons for? The control of wildlife ....turkeys and deer are cute....unless they're digging in your new landscaping. Gopher mounds in the yard aren't amusing either.

Wills is working the sling shot.
Dave is using the gun....which is missing the butt, Wills calls it the butt-less BB gun. Dave calls it sawed off. He likes the size because he can lay it on the counter without it hanging over and getting bumped...a feature one does not think about....how it will fit on your kitchen counter.

No harm is done to the wildlife, they just jump and leave....for a little bit.

Awesome photos of last night's shooting party. You forgot to mention that this has become a weekly ritual for these two men. :) William always looks forward to tutoring time.

Yes! I can't hit a wall with that thing, but dang, does it look manly!

...and I've got a much bigger pellet gun than that little pea-shooter that dad's holding...Should be a load of fun!
