Posting all the rats you kill is not healthy.

Oh, It's nowhere near all the rats I've killed.  Is it really any worse than posting pics of pigs or deer?

On the other hand, i don't go probing between the lizard legs looking for a teeny weeny.           

hmm...   ok.  maybe I do need help.

In other awesome news -

My new shroud for the Marauder arrived today along with 13  baffles.    Got the gun all back together and making a long story short - IT WORKS!

It is a good bit louder than my stock Amurex Fusion but it packs a lot more wallop too.  The fusion penetrates about 5/8" of duct seal at most while the Marauder goes through the whole 1.25"-1.5" and hits the steel backing plates.  The marauder also leaves a huge hole compared to the Fusion.

 

Still haven't heard from the guy who sold it to me since Friday.  I sent him a text about 10 minutes ago telling him I got it working, what I had to replace, and, "thanks for the decent deal even if it wasn't as good as you advertised Mr. *insert his real name*"

He hasn't replied to that one either.

and, "thanks for the decent deal even if it wasn't as good as you advertised Mr. *insert his real name*"

 a bit delayed but that got his attention.  About 40 text messages later with  him making a few barely veiled threats about having his cop brother  shake me down for "spying" on him, and me keeping my cool without antagonizing him,  he sends me a picture of the receipt and it claims he will still make good. I halfway believe him.  The text conversation ended on a good note.

I think we may be interested in these texts that threaten to "shake you down" via his brother who is a police officer.

The plot thickens. Forget walking dead. Can i kill rats on 2a blows it away.

going to keep his identity private - (a)not wanting to get him in trouble and (b) don't want to run afoul of some law and have HPD after me. Today he started digging the hole deeper but then he pulled himself out of it by the end.  At least for now I  halfway think he may be a good guy who was busy with the move(but I still have some suspicion). I will post the continuation of messages though. I tried to remain calm and un-antagonistic.  I was thinking, "what might Buddha say?" and then sort of tried to go along that path. Maybe it worked.  He seemed to have calmed down by the end and I think he agreed to do the right thing.  The receipt shows that he did indeed buy it at the beginning of September.  I've no idea how he messed it up so bad so fast.

He doesn't know I just paid one of those $10 online services to find out who owns a cell phone number.  I do not beleive he took my plate number. However he does have my phone number and could do the same thing I did to get my info if he just thought of it.


Here are the texts from today.  There is some overlap from the last set.

Hey, cut him some slack!

Not every hunter bags a nice boar or 12-point buck!

We have to brag about whatever we can!!

I know.  They may have appreciated my picture in the trophy picture thread.  With this new gun I could take out larger game now =) I just gotta wait for a pig to come down from the mountains into the yard.

RE: Rat hunting with air rifles- the actual topic of this thread - I haven't seen any to shoot tonight although I've checked a couple times. I hear them on the other side of the fence next door though.  If it were a single house instead of a small low-rise condo unit I might go ask for permission to go in their yard to shoot.

Holy crap!  Now this is what the thread is about:



I think this may be the biggest one I've killed yet.  I dedicate this pregnant female corpse to Kingkeoni =)

It caught my pellet the same way I used to listen to my mother - in one ear and out the other.

Hey Robble1,
Keep it up! Used to always talk about giant river
rats in Kaimuki river. Ala wai is just down stream.
Here's a pic of Unicorn buck shot on my
friends farm in Kula. Caught um from the back
of his head out between the eyes.
Sure some good forum Bros will let you
Eradicate at their place.
Sorry deleted pic, might be offensive to some folks and in hindsight done in bad taste. Aloha

The rats come out to play as nightfall arrives and darkness descends..

Game on!

I don't know what I would've said, but I wouldn't take kindly to threats like that. Have you tried googling his last name and HPD?

You didn't do anything unlawful. However, if his cop brother runs your plate without any reason, then we've got a problem. With the amount of negative press the HPD has gotten lately, they don't need some punk who thinks he is above everyone else because he has a brother in LE.

I know I didn't do anything illegal and if his "my brother is a really great cop" really is great cop then then his brother would tell him I'm not in the wrong.  If he does find out my full name I'm not worried about that either unless he escalates after that.  I won't give him a reason to want to escalate either.  I figure I lose nothing by staying calm and mostly nice.  Perhaps he really has been crazy busy with a move and if he knows I'm cool maybe he'll actually pay up.  Getting mad and yelling at him over text messages certainly won't do me any good nor shame him into making amends if he is lying.
Haven't heard from him since the last texts I posted.  Won't hurt me to give him more time.  At this point he'll either do the right thing or he won't. Nothing I can say to him will move him towards the outcome I want.

+2 tonight.
