Gamo whipser .177 pellet rifle is a real killer

[diyguy]

A little over 2 months ago picked up a Gamo Whisper Pro Elite from the Bargain Cave at Cabelas for $169. I got it help me address a pest control issue Im having. To say Im impressed with this thing is an understatement. Its very powerful and super accurate Dime sized groups at 30 feet (which is the distance I kill most my pests at)

To date I have 21 Grey squirrels (filling the freezer with them)

6 Coons

4 Possums

4 skunks

The coons go to local guys that want the hides. The skunks and possums go to the burn pile and the squirrels get eaten. IF your looking for a plinker that is pretty cheap and with low cost ammo ($8 for 750 pellets) then look at the gamo whisper pellet gun.

Ol' dead-eye, DIY!

Good shooting for sure.

I always strive for a head shot (Behind the ear) to dispatch them ASAP.

Interesting!

this post made me giggle...good shooting again, I always have problems getting pellet guns sighted in, not much for me to shoot in the yard in phoenix though anyway. Smoked a few pigeons and rabbits with my bow though

Been a busy holiday. My parents and other family members ate 7 of the greys but I turned around and got 8 more to replace them.

-7 +8 = good shooting.

Tastes like chicken.
Cook like chicken.

We brown them in a cast iron skillet with honest to God lard (no butter or veg oil) Then they go in a roaster with chicken stock and cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup where they cook for a few hours until the meat falls off the bone.

This is hilarious, made me get a morning LOL...my buddies and I have an outfitter tent we all share and we have talked about doing a similar thing, find a stencil of each animal, and everytime we hunt with the tent and harvest mark it on the tent.
