I finally dispatched the garden raider that has wreaked havoc over the past two years.  I managed to spot him fattening up for the winter and was lucky enough to send him to woodchuck heaven with a well place shot from my Winchester air rifle yesterday afternoon.  Chuck caddis anyone? 

Congrats!

Save that tail for Ausable Wulffs!

Man Gerry, I gotta get one of those super air rifles.. Should brought that to deer camp and sat in the phone booth, woulda kept Mepps in stock :) 

Yeah, lots of materials!  I'm not sure what the chuck caddis is, but I tie a caddis with a bunch of chuck guard hair mixed with the underfur, and an overwing of  crow . Legs and antennae sticking out all over. Save me a piece if you keep it. Please. 

HT, You're right, excellent for plinking squirrels.  Launches a .177 pellet at approximately 1400 FPS.  With the scope my point of aim, point of impact were on the money just above the eye at about twenty yards.
