So I just shot a skunk....
...with a pretty powerful pellet gun, couldn't sleep so I was heading downstairs to my cave when I heard a bunch of hissing I look out my window and see three cats one goes hauling *** down the street the other two backs all arched about 10ft from the front door of my townhouse. Open the front door and about 20ft away is a skunk so I grab the pellet gun a buddy gave me awhile back for this specific occasion. For being 1 A.M. and dead silent outside this thing was freaking loud and damn I've never heard such a horrible screech from an animal, cats haul *** away skunk goes running I close my door and now I'm here.
By this occasion I mean I came home one night and a skunk was just chillin on the corner of my townhouse I was standing about 15ft away trying to scare the thing off but it acted like I was never there. Next morning the neighbor told me it sprayed his dog. Anyway that's my entertainment for the night/morning.

Sounds like me when I was working on the miata 2 summers back and had this ******* wretched monster lurking out from the gardens to attack me.
I was usually armed with bamboo spears ready for it to come at me. Although it did have me jump up on the car a handful of times due to its extreme behavior when it caught me off guard.

I've got some .22 Super Colibri's that are ultra quiet, especially out of my 10/22 if I hold the bolt closed. Worries me that one might get stuck in the barrel, but it hasn't happened yet. Probably helps that I got an old pawn shop 10/22 with a nicely used up barrel.

You know, the only ammo that doesnt jam in my Marlin (semi-auto with the magazine under the barrel like a shotgun or winchester) is the Federal hollow points. The subsonic does jam a lot around the bolt. No problems with the barrel though and its a pretty young gun in terms of the ammo run through it. I have probably put about 1000 rounds through it max.

Yeah, when I'm shooting the low power stuff I just hold the bolt closed and then manually cycle it. Less hassle. I'd like to find a cheapo .22 bolt action just for that purpose.
Still want a supressor, though. I've got a pistol with a threaded adapter ready for one, just can't pony up $200 + $200 tax stamp for one right now.
