I do the same thing with spiders here....I have a Solo cup and a sheet of paper up on the shelf. I'll only kill 'em if they get onto my person. Line crossed, dead spider/insect/person/ etc/..Quote:

ok i had to google that one fuck thathttp://johnbokma.com/mexit/2006/12/3...vinegaroon.jpg
That is a cool looking critter, but in the right moment or circumstances, I am sure it would scare the shit out of folks not used to seeing or knowing about them.
Just thinking about wife or daughter being surprised by one sets me to laughing.
About 100 pages ago when it was last brought up, I had mentioned how I went out to my garage to start a load of laundry. When I turned around to head back inside, one of those guys was staring me down right in the middle of my path. I flipped my shit and went to reach for my CCW, then I realized what exactly I was going to shoot with my Glock 23 and was like, oh wait, LOL.
They'll definitely freak you out if you aren't expecting them. They're about 4" long and the healthy ones have a thick back end and huge pincers!

I can very easily see me jumping about 4' high and landing Glock in hand ready to defend myself.[ROFL2]
I am thinking the wife, if carrying would put a couple rounds in it(and the hardwood floor) as a reflex. [panic][AR15][M2][g3][MG]
Hope she is not close to a shotgun when it surprises her. Don't think I can putty that hole in the floor.
Haha, exactly! Now if I saw a scorpion that size, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot that sumbitch!
Vinegaroons aren't scary once you know what they are. Scorpions on the other hand, those are one of God's creatures that I'd have no problem taking out.
Yea, pretty much stomp scorpions into greasy spots. Worked on a pipeline job outside Alamogordo back in the late 80's. Scorpions would crawl up on the tractors because of the heat retention at night. Couple of close calls until we learned to check for them and snakes.
There's a canyon just outside of town that you can go hiking in year round, but its not advised in the summer. During then, you can throw a stone in any direction and hit a rattlesnake.
A coworker said he took his dog hiking up there to scout out the barbary sheep for his next hunt (a few weeks later). He said he kept hearing this weird noise, then saw his dog was really interested with something. Checked it out and sure enough, a rattler. Then he realized that sound he had heard all along was rattlers. Freaked out, threw his dog on a leash, got out his gun and slowly but carefully hiked out of there.

It was two inches from crawling on me. It wasn't too big of a spider, only about 4" in diameter, but I hate, *hate* spiders. I jumped up, and before I stopped, ya, my hand was clinching the grip on my Hk (still holstered)... My wife laughed her ass off (didn't think I had that kind of vertical). She then told me the legal reasons I couldn't shoot it bla bla bla bla..... So, I took a few rounds out of the mag, and thew them at it. Stupid little thing....
Disclaimer* It was on soft dirt when I threw the rounds at it.
Fuck your bugs........ Scary bastards.
Sent from my teepee using smoke signals.

Guess I'm gonna go hang out at walmart or see if the mcdonald's is open that early. I'm guessing not, though if you can believe it, their website doesn't have the hours of operation on it. Guess that means 24hrs...right?
Oh ya, I forgot about this fucker also.... Found him in the corner of the house we moved into in our first week that we came to Trinidad...

I thought the ground was softer than it was apparently.... Oh well.

Trinidad has a new slogan... Transvestites, Spiders, and Bears Oh MY!!!
I've seen way, way too many big ass spiders here, bears are an almost nightly occurrence at my house, and the people that keep you guessing what they are, work at Walmart here.
HAHA, that is awesome! I'll have to do that with some ammo next time I see a vinegaroon! Not trying to hurt it, just for the picture.
Ooh, better idea! Just the bullet and stage it so the thing hit the bullet out of the air! [LOL]
The wolf spider (the one in the canning jar) almost got a hole in it, or it's legs separated from its body, by a 45 round, or seven... I actually drew on it, straight out, was going to shoot the fucker. That was the closest I had ever come to a giant spider, ever, and spiders are one of two of my irrational fears. Since then, I have calmed down a lot when it comes to spiders since this place has a ton of them. Ya though, had my custom 1911 on it, and believe me, the trigger was nice, smooth, and light. The fact that I didn't put any through it I think showed great trigger finger control... lol After about an hour of screaming at it, jumping around my house, and going nuts, I calmed down and caught it in the jar.
I've been jumped, in more fights than I care to admit to, had to use bean bag rounds on people, free style motocrossed, and cliff dived off of really stupid shit at Lake Powell, but nothing has ever come close to getting me up and going like that Wolf Spider invading my house... I couldn't sleep for days....... Irrational fears, they suck.
Speaking of bears, my dog is going nuts... Gota go scare one away........
Haha, yes they do! And way to show trigger control!Quote:

[Rant2]
I've gotten used to shooting them with my airsoft gun. That one was a cub... second time it has been around without mommy...... First time, was at 5 in the middle of the day, daughter came face to face with it as she turned a corner. That little one is just getting too comfortable...Quote:

That's kinda cool!
When I used to live in the mountains here, I came home at about 2am after driving my fiancee (then girlfriend) home. As I was walking up to my house, I saw these two giant ass eyes (very wide apart) just up the house from me. I stood dead in my tracks and it didn't move either (was shining my Fenix LD10 at it on turbo mode, then strobe). Finally, the eyes disappeared and I saw this HUGE (a good 4-5" in diameter) tail loop around and I made a mad dash for my front door. Ran inside, grabbed my AR and when to look out the back windows with the lights on. Went out hte next day and saw huge mountain lion footprints in the snow. Scared the bejesus out of me!
Haven't had a graham cracker in years....Quote:
