They just don't make a stick that is long enough

My "stick" was made from 9mm materials so it was plenty long enough!

Right.  Sometimes that isn't an option as to where the trap was set at.  The only reason to have a fishing pole around for me.

No trap involved either, actually very spur of the moment.

I was unloading my last bag of feed from a pallet in one of my barn stalls, and something in the pallet moved. After previous run ins with various critters, I went to the house, got a light and my 9mm (all I had at the time) and returned. When the light hit the critter, all I saw was black coarse fur between the pallet slats.

And then a white stripe.

I aimed where I thought the head was in the pallet and fired twice. He kept moving out. I exited the stall and from the barn watched as he dragged himself out of the pallet - paralyzed from the back down. One lucky shot!

Next shot put him down, and I dispatched the corpse to the dump.

On a side note, even though he didn't spray, the barn stank of skunk for months afterwards, even with a healthy application of barn lime.

Sounds like some friends of mine.  They have domestic rabbits on the ground.  Everything but the rabbits dies at their place.

Next door neighbor (family only ate veggies for a while) had one of those havuabigheart traps out...coon huntin'...as it were, to move them far away from their cats' food.  Well, he caught a striper...called me in the morning to warn me not to let my dog out which was decent of him.  I had persuaded them to get a gun after years (and they eat meat now too!)...so he offered that he was going to shoot it with a 38, but didn't know how to get close enough.  So...I offered my services with an M4 and an M4-2000 securely ratched on the end...the hydraulic shock of that TAP round quietly took the critter out without a smell.  Then the guy dumped it about 150 yards upwind of me....oh well.

That was amazing. With subsonic rounds (if any exist in .556), you'd hardly hear it. Still, I will not get a class III as I don't want to give ATF open access to my house. >:(

Well, if things keep going in the current direction they are headed under BHO, the ATF won't need a 'reason' to access your house.
