Post by: b23 on February 02, 2012, 10:25:22 AM: Wile E. actually I've seen quite a few sage rats around Spokane BUT they are always in areas you CAN'T shoot them. Like around Felts Field. Alot of sage rats right around there but you can't shoot them and there is a open field out behind that Church on the NW corner of Argonne & Bigelow that has lots of sage rats. But, again, you can't shoot them.

To me, that makes it alot worse. To see em but can't blast em....... :(

That's my experience too. I guess I misstated the facts. They're here, I can't shoot them. I need access to some that I can SHOOT!

Post by: b23 on February 09, 2012, 11:48:06 AM: It's the same way with freakin groundhogs. I see them basterds all over the place in Spokane but NEVER anywhere I can shoot em. :(

Same in T/C area. Especially around those Corp of Eng. parks on the Snake River. Dang, i've seen tons of groundhogs around those parks for years but for obvious reason I can't shoot em.... >:(
