Free range owls.
I've read that owls, especially free range owls taste like chicken...

I like the great horned owl who lives on my property; s/he'll take down anything, including other owls.Try putting up a couple of Great Horned owl decoys in strategic spots. Once the owl sees these, he'll probobly not return.....
The NFA definition includes the word "portable" -- fixed non-portable "silencers" are 100% legal, e.g. the length of tubing with internal sound-absorbing material used at ranges and for function testing at the gunsmith.Would that be a constructive (constructed?) silencer?.22 from inside the house

My bad -- legal by Federal law, illegal to possess in Massachusetts.I was just kidding, but that's actually good, positive info to keep in the back of my mind.
I was so pissed last night that I didn't want to kill that owl. I wanted to kill all of the owls!
This^^^^^^^
Netting is cheap and the owl isn't going away until ALL the food runs out.
i like my eggs fresh, my chicken fried and the owls flying free.Wasn't this a plot of Star Trek TSG??? I think it was the Hoosnock people. Exterminated all of them.
Yep. Owl will keep coming back.
THAT said, some of you are real toolbags. Hope the neighborhood owls decide to crap all over your cars from now until eternity ends.

Wrist rocketAll I have for an air rifle is an old crossman pellet gun. It's fairly accurate but the pellets just bounce off of most critters. He's been back.
Even if you miss, the owl might consider it a brush-back pitch.Wrist rocket

Shawn Woods has a fix for that.Currently my problem is rats. I’ve killed two already and I know there has to more lurking around.

The wife and I spent a better part of the day making a fenced in enclosure with overhead netting. Pictures tomorrow.
