My question is what large caliber weapons does the ship carry. Why do you need large caliber? I can easily fire a .308 500 meters, and I'm hardly a marksman.

On 11/29/2008 2:09 PM Nonnymus did a "happy dance", then made these writings: George Leppla wrote: "Nonnymus" wrote snip Why stop with cayenne pepper? Use what the Mexicans use, Habanero! You know what else is the universal repellent for all kinds of nuisance critters from Canadian Geese (without their green cards), to the odd rodent - wolf urine. It can be obtained from some zoos or wolf research centers. Just make sure that the wolf you get it from is not a female wolf in heat. Wolfs are natural predators of these as well as raccoons. The scent of wolfs urine scares the "b'jesus" out of 'em; they either drop dead with fright or run for the hills. Deer don't come to nosh on my chrysanthemums any more. Lot's of problems with deer in suburban neighborhoods as the burbs move further out, here in Austin. Lots of people lose their precious landscaping to deer. The same people who put out food for them. The smart people buy wolf urine. You can buy it as a concentrte or a powder, just mix with water and sprinkle around your garden. You have to refresh it after a heavy rain, but that hasn't been an issue this year. Or after watering. -- - dillon I am not invalid When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams come true.
