Default Way OT: Air guns...I'm in the market for an air powered pellet gun that I can use to...

....dispatch a small critter or two out of my back yard. It turns out that some varment decided to raid my garden while I was away and it et about 6 beautiful cannelopes, two watermellons and 4 pumpkins. Now, I'm one to occasionally give nature its fair share, but this went beyond the pale. I've been nurturing these cannelopes for two months and I have NOTHING to show for them. I'm out for some vigilante justice. Recommendations? If not a gun, then I'lll listen to other recommendations. It burrowed under my fence, so don't recommend a fence.

Oh, and don't bother giving me a lecture about nature or animal rights or any of that nonsense. I'm not in the mood.

Default yep....definitely. I found where it burrowed under the fence and...

...it even dug a nice big hole near a pumpkin plant in the garden. I'm pretty sure it's a ground hog....and not too much longer to be a living one either....
