Went Varmint hunting this morning,,,
Got 14 with 15 shots.

I noticed that my cat was very interested in her outside window perch this morning,,,
Seems that there was an inordinate amount of grasshoppers in the bushes.

So I got a fresh cup of coffee,,,
Loaded up my trusty Daisy "Spittin' Image" rifle,,,
And had a fun half an hour popping those devil insects through the old screen.

I swear that sometimes this old fart has as much fun with a BB rifle,,,
As I do with any of my real fiery-arms at the range.

All from my air conditioned living room,,,
Shooting through open windows.

I remember my lil Red Ryder was a little underpowered hunting the Texas mutant grasshoppers growing up so moved up to a daisy pump that would take care of business. It worked well on the huge bullfrogs we harvested out of the stock tank and helped cut down on the turtle population. Good times! My brother and I would challenge each other who could get the most pumps on their daisy. I think 21 was my personal best.

Never hunted grasshoppers but locust, yah, picked plenty of them out of the trees with a BB gun. Locating them in the trees and picking them off will make you a better squirrel hunter. Then I would pick them up, stick them on a crappie hook and flick them out on top of the water in the pond to catch bass.

Those were the days!
