you are probably right about the bats, I am just fairly immune when it comes to feelings toward non domestic animals, it may be a character flaw but I have no issues with shooting wild animals. Wife and kids hate that about me. It is funny the list of "varmits" that are legal to shoot out here (rats are not part of that list) but squirels, beavers, gray foxes, coyotes, racoons, crows..... they are pretty much all fair game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
