May I suggest screening in that pool to prevent the critters from disturbing your midnight skinny dipping......but just wait till early next season and use some of the HUGE profits you skim off selling just a small portion of your BLTA.

I totally agree....shooting spiders in the pool is not a good idea. LOL....shooting the bird IN the pond wouldn't be so good either, as the shock wave created by a stray round could actually kill some of the near by fish. Stick with the screens.......right now, the net over the pond is working wonders for me.

Giant spiders....how cool is that! By "giant" I hope you mean like the size of your hand......something more along the size of a tarantula or one of those African bird eating spiders.

I myself am a reptile/amphibian kind of guy.....I'd much prefer seeing a common salamander on a rock versus some very rare bird in a tree.

And you do have to always keep learning....and it is best to learn from others mistakes/accomplishments.

I heard O.J. wore an entire wetsuit that evening....head to toe. It was a remarkeable way to prevent the kind of scratches and tell-tale injuries that that kind of an assault would have resulted in.
