When I was a little brat, my Grandpa had a bug zapper to beat all... On my summer vacations, we'd sit out in the evening watching the garden grow in that fine Tennessee dirt and bask in the entertainment of waiting for a biggun' to fly in that bug zapper to get bar-b-qued... That thing would pop and sizzle and even smoke when something big got in there..<br /><br />Well, I decided I'm movin' outta here in the next 6 months to a year to be a little closer to my kin folks, and I need something to get me in the "country state of mind" cause it looks like I'm headin' for the hills of northwest Georgia.... Thought to myself, A BUG ZAPPER, that'll do it... Yes sir, I'm in need of some high quality outdoor entertainment and nothing can beat the light show of a good bug zapper... :D <br /><br />Ahhhh... Just sittin' out back in the evening havin' a cool drink, watching the sun set, and waiting for the bugs... I can see it now...<br /><br />I need a big zapper too... One that makes alot of noise and smoke when a biggun' gets ta flyin' in there... The more noise and smoke, the better... :eek: <br /><br />They don't sell too many zappers around here anymore and I have not seen one in years...<br /><br />Any of you fellers got the low-down on some good zappers and where ta get one?

OBJ That reminds me of an old episode of the beverly hillbillys. Seems Jed and Jethro were out front shootin thier guns and Mr Drysdale wanted to know what they were shooting at. Jethro says we are shooting at flys on that wall over yonder.( about fifty yards away) But he said not to worry because they was just wingin em not killin em. :D :D

Hey Snapper, I found out the hard way that them there bug-zappers don't work for crappie at night. I always had trouble finding an extension cord long enough. :D
