Yes this really happened to me,come squirrel season we will see whos laughing... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Geez, I can see munching on the PB&J, but the knife handle. Maybe the squirel was drunk and got confused.

Even squirrels like knives, apparently <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the Yard boomhower!

we've always said Scrapyard knives are really good but taste good!? zombie squirrels!
"Nuts!"
I hope you contact the boss Dawg and see what he says. good luck bro.

Thanks for the warning, Boomhower. I have lots of squirrels and sometimes leave my blades alone outside for a while. I need to get that new Whisper air rifle. The little tree rats need to be thinned out.

Welcome boomhower, thanks for the heads-up. Little suckers.

Welcome to the Yard Boomhower.


He deserves some pain for what he did. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I haven't been squirrel hunting in many years... that might change if one of those bastards pulled that on me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the Yard, boomhower. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'll make sure and put my Res-C knives in squirrel proof containers when in the woods. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Those little rascals will get into anything. I once caught a flying squirrel in a bag of dog food inside my house! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Boomhower - Howdy and Welcome to the ScrapYard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Sounds like it's time for a fried squirrel dinner! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

i sent an email to scrapyard describing my situation, but im not sure they could cover something like this?

I have a Beeman R1 - Spring-piston .177 cal. break-barrel..... similar to the Whisper.

I can't speak for the Whisper, by I love shooting my Beeman. I need to shoot it more. SUPER accurate.

Based on what I have read, I wish I had the Beeman RX-2 with gas-spring-piston and in .20 caliber. At those velocities, .20 and .22 have more energy and knockdown power. But, sometimes .22 starts to fade in accuracy. So, .20 is apparently a good compromise.

As much as I like my R1 with the Spring-piston, I "Think" (if I could) I would pay a little more for a gas-spring-piston.

But, I actually made a steal on my R1 from a gun dealer when I lived in Austin. I bought the R1 with Beeman scope, nice gun case and some extras for $350. The whole package new is apparently worth about $750 - $800 or so. Too rich for me on a pellet gun. But, no regrets for what I paid. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Apparently, the Whisper can be purchased with a gas-spring upgrade kit. It might not be needed or justified, but I would consider the advantages.

Also, quality (expensive) scopes are an unfortunate requirement for the good air rifles. Most scopes can't handle the two-directional recoil associated with high end airguns. It isn't much recoil and nothing compared to rifles. But, somehow most scopes are apparently not designed to handle forward recoil and rearward recoil even if slight. I have read many times about scopes having the reticles fail on air guns. I think the reticle hairs split appart or something (????) So, the air-gun industry has certain scopes that are designed for use with airguns.... and the good ones aren't cheap.
..... Sometimes good air-guns are fun/fine without scopes. But, the good ones are so accurate that you can hit nickels at 25 yards and cans at 80 yards that are a little hard to do with open sights. Along with the "Aim Small" theory.... So....????


For fun, I wouldn't mind tinkering with one of these .50 Cal. !!!!:

I'm a bit of a wildlife nut and my first though was that it would be quite cool to have a knife gnawed by a squirrel, a real talking point around the campfire.
I guess this would only apply as long as it still felt okay in the hand though !!!
