Altenative varmint hunting!!!!?????
Has anyone here ever tried alternative varmint hunting such as shooting flies or mosqitoes with a pellet gun, killing moths with tennis rackets, or blowing up antholes with ladyfingers. If so please tell me.

Ah..........I can honestly say without much thought, a big NO on the tennis racket.

Living in Nevada, I did discover that if you don't put a pellet in a pellet gun, and hold the muzzle a few inches away from a mosquito on the ceiling, you can squash the mosquito flat with just the air. Kinda hard on the mechanism, though.
Who HASN'T put firecrackers into an ant colony??? Of course, when I was that age, firecrackers were much more readily available.

.22 works for most varmints, moths included, by the way, I use air to squash them too!

grasshoppers with a BB gun, pack rats in cactus with a pellet gun make great fast action shooting

Carpenter Bees with a .22 rifle and birdshot. Just like sporting clays.

Did it all, (the flies and grasshoppers) except we used Blackcats on crayfish holes.
A Sheridan pellet gun, minus a pellet, will drive flies through a door sceen from about a foot, and rubber band guns were used more then bb guns around the house. We had a large grocery store near by that dumped their old produce out in a field in back. We kids would shoot rats and mice off it every chance we got.

When I was a kid we used to shoot dragonflys in our pond when they landed on the grass, good practice really.
Not a bad idea now for practice when you're bored. I have shot flys with my son's airsoft, but the wife gets tired of the yellow pellets all over the place.

I'm waiting for a varmint season on Mall Geese.
I'm thinking a 22-250 should work nicely.
