Other than maybe the ground hogs... I can pretty much see that from my living room window. Except the rabbits get shot at using a BB gun, little bastards where munching on my lettuce growing in the garden, so out come the co2 pistol, hit the little sucker about 3 times, first he was munching, second two shots he was on the run, I just went into rapid fire mode, to make his course corrections for him, plus I got a ugly deer that wonders into the yard, this is one ugly doe too, face like a moose almost... wonder if a moose raped its momma or something. Hit one big bunny with a pellet gun last year... them little things can really jump high... Plus at night the view of the heavens is awesome.... eh Oh where about you at ? eh... I am in the South Central area of the U.P. eh... eh... hear that alot.. eh.. Dooden A15 Green Ape
