Ron, I used a wide angle lens :biglaugh: yours was a better shot though. We have little tolerance for breaking and entering in the midwest lol.

I took some pictures I wanted to send you but files are too big for a pm.
Relax,

Charlie, I sent you a PM
We live in the present, we dream of the future, but we learn eternal truths from the past
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Life is like a wet sponge, you gotta squeeze it until you get every drop it has to offer

I have 2 questions: 1. What is the current P&Y record for mice? 2. What is the best breed of dog for hunting mice? I tried training my cat, but she won't deliver them to hand, she runs off with them. Also, is there a separate category for rats? Let's organize a TG hunt.

Terriers were bred and designed for mousing. Jack Russell,  rat terrier,  wheaton terrier to name a few. Chinese cresteds were also used for ratting on merchants ships. A bunch of you tube stuff, mostly in England.

As far as B&C mice, I spect they're like skwerl and turkey. Once skinned and skewered over the pit, they're all trophies
Relax,

This is the one I'm after. P&Y for sure but he's very nocturnal.

Never shot a bow for mice. Have turned trapper, a season or ten.
Now I am in a zip-up tent.
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

It's true. Mice can go where they want pretty much whenever they want. My worse experience was on a Boy Scout backpack trip. One got in my pack and shredded a whole role of toilet paper all over the place. What a mess!

It's all fun and games until you're camped out around 8500 feet on a mountain anticipating the opening day of elk season for the first time trying to fall asleep, and you hear one scurrying under the tent flaps along the wall.  That was a long night!!!   :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

I used to camp in a three sided chestnut shelter. One time I came back after an all day hunt, and saw that about twelve feet of paper towel was hanging off of the roll I had hung up.

I still chuckle, thinking about that mouse “log burling” on the Bounty!
I gotta dig up my old journal, as the mice played a big part of daily life up there.
Luckily, they didn’t eat the journal!
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Always liked that quote from Chief Sitting Bull.(Edited.  Initially thought it was Chief Joesph. My bad.)  Mice sure can go wherever they want and cause all sorts of trouble.  At my cabin in Northern Wisconsin, I've had them somehow get into the air intake on my truck and end up either in my air cleaner or heater filter. I've managed to do in two in the heater fan.  The odor of a dead mouse stays in the truck for about a month.   :scared:

A couple of years ago, while coming home on the interstate at about 75 mph, I felt something on my leg.  Looked down and there was a mouse making its way up.  Luckily my reflex action, though substantial, didn't hit the brake or gas pedal.  The mouse hopped off and made it back into the heater duct, where he was toasted by the fan.  This was in the summer, and I had the air conditioner on.  Another month of stink truck.

Deer population in my neck of the woods is rather depressed right now.  I just may take up hunting mice there.  Seem to be plenty of the critters around. 
 :bigsmyl: 

I also have a score to settle with the little buggers.  I forgot my nice merino wool watch cap in the front seat after hunting one day.  By the next morning, the mice had it chewed full of holes. Made nice bedding material, I suspect.
