Well now I have a young opossum living in the house for the past week. He doesn't bother anything as he is nocturnal and we only see him running by once in a while. The cats don't mind him. He comes out at night to eat, drink and use the newspaper. He is actually a good little critter that minds his business.
I used to use .22 BB Caps on little critters in the yard if they became to obnoxious but they became as expensive as .22LR. I did a search for "low velocity" .22LR and came up with the CCI 29 grain long rifles with a velocity of 710 fps. They claim they sound like a typical air rifle noise wise.
Do you think they would be enough to knock down unwanted critters at fairly close range, ie under 25 yards up to cat size animals humanly?

Thanks for your thoughts?

PS. I did order two hundred and the freight was $8.95 on a $23.00 + order!! What's up with ammunition freight costs these days?
