Every winter my modest exotic fruit tree stand gets the attention of fruit eating tree rats. Like vexing squirrels in the summer they wouldn't be a problem if they ate the whole fruit but they destroy one fruit by taking a bite and moving on to another and so on. Thankfully even on the darkest night my lab/pit mix dog has this uncanny ability to sniff them out and stand directly below them perched high up in the canopy.
Last night a particularly large furry silver colored (actually quite a handsome well fed devil) rat made the mistake of coming into a Lychee tree and when I went to aim I found both the front and rear sights had gone missing. Luckily the base of both align perfectly with the bore and the first shot took it out of the tree.
Now to gen up a set of sights to replace those that were broken off. fortunately the sight bases are plastic and I can dremel in a pair of Glock FO sights for $10... rat and squirrels beware
Suburban style hunting... cowabunga!
