evo Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 As as already been said, should have been headshot and then debate would not have gone this way. crickey , have you tried to head shoot mice at 25yrds IN THE DARK and looking through a 2 1/2" monitor I know I,m good but not that good , I would have no problem doing it with a red torch but that's another challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Thought you might like these recipes for your next miceing foray. You will need an icebox for the mice as they rot quick. Roasted Field Mice (Raton de campo asado) / Mexico Skin and eviscerate field mice. Skewer them and roast over an open fire or coals. These are probably great as hors d'oeuvres with margaritas or "salty dogs." Farley Mowat also gives this innovative arctic explorer's recipe for souris à la crème. Mice in Cream (Souris à la crème) Skin, gut and wash some fat mice without removing their heads. Cover them in a pot with ethyl alcohol and marinate 2 hours. Cut a piece of salt pork or sowbelly into small dice and cook it slowly to extract the fat. Drain the mice, dredge them thoroughly in a mixture of flour, pepper, and salt, and fry slowly in the rendered fat for about 5 minutes. Add a cup of alcohol and 6 to 8 cloves, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Prepare a cream sauce, transfer the sautéed mice to it, and warm them in it for about 10 minutes before serving.

Paul T Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) That's disgusting! What if you jaw one? How irresponsible! U. I agree. Always shoot the toes of the back foot first - then when it's hopping round clutching it's foot, cleanly dispatch it with one to the chest Edit: Nice video Evo - cracked me up that did Edited March 10, 2015 by Paul T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Looks like you need some decent NV then :lol: normally use a 5" monitor but I was recording last night and my dvr is only 2 1/2 " so think I,ll be using my reading glasses next time, that way I can take eye shots or feet shots followed by a chest shot as it hops about :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Using the Daystate 10 shot cartridge you could do foot, head, heart and eyes and for the second mouse too with a couple shots left for backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonwolf444 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Nice one eve, have rats and mice in the log pile when the nights start to get colder they seem to return, even with .177 it seems like you are really bowling them over.

demonwolf444 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Was hoping to get the air rifle out on the rabbits soon but they have not come through well in numbers on the land this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
