I do it.  I just leave the cap off overnight first.   :)

So, trying to come up with cold weather outdoor activities, I was thinking maybe I'd take advantage of Vermont's non-existent gun laws and take up target shooting.  None of the gun ranges/fish and game clubs here seem to rent out weapons, but they're cheap to join.  So I'd have to buy some kind of gun...

Any suggestions on how to get started with this?  Any thoughts on pistol vs. rifle in terms of recreational enjoyment?  Pistol seems more fun at first glance... I figure a .22 of some sort is the obvious choice since the ammunition is so cheap.

Get you a new or used ruger 10-22 rifle. heel get a 22 pistol too.

So far seen some does. Passed on a couple of spikes, and a fork horn.

Last evening around 6pm I had a spike eating apples in the yard. Seen the same bugger about 10am walking down the gravel road as I was leaving the house. Same chap. Good size for a Black Tail spike.

I really like my father in law's SIG Mosquito, which is a .22 pistol.

They can call children's services if they want. And be laughed at on the phone.
