Fed-up man sprays fox urine on gang of pranksters

The 50-year-old man said he was fed up with his house being toilet-papered and took matters into his own hands. Using night-vision goggles, he spotted 15 to 20 people running toward his place. He told the group to leave, swore at them and sprayed them with a "supersoaker" squirt gun filled with fox urine. (St. Paul Pioneer Press)

LMAO, when I was a teen in the early 80's we were lucky if some Dad didn't take his shotgun and shoot salt pellets at us. A little urine never hurt anyone. Too funny.

[stopeatingmysesamecake]

Ok, here's the obvious question that maybe was overlooked.

Where do you get enough fox urine to fill a supersoaker?
A fox keg party?

[Rat]

Sort of gives new meaning to the term "golden shower."

[G-Man]

What's that fragrance you're wearing? It reminds me of that time... Oh wait, nevermind.

[Phranqlin]

He should have sprayed them with Collegiate Fragrances and supported the small businesswomen!

[sometimesilie]

God, that's some good crotchety!

[Dick C. Normas]

You go old dude!

[elchampino]

I'd like some more details, and too much of this is going to be one person's word against another's. I have to say that while I frown on vigilante justice and 'taking the law into your own hands', you should also be allowed to defend your home and property with reasonable means. They guy sprayed the kids with fox urine and confiscated a cell phone that was left behind - it's not like he came out with a shot gun blazing.

I don't know if my own actions in this situation would be much different than the homeowner's.

[NitroPress]

Yeah, in racing out of there, they could have broadsided a fox and killed it. I think some restraint was called for.

[twerp]

Old people are funny.

[Jim]

Do you leave a toilet outside for the fox to pee in? You would have to have one for the boys and one for the girls.

[Dick Tater]

He should have sprayed them with buckshot. In my world, it would be perfectly legal to use lethal force against anyone trespassing on one's property, especially against a gang of hooligans and miscreants. Fortunately, I live in a state where you can shoot someone on your property if you feel threatened, and I can assure you I would have come out with guns blazing.

[troschne]

"What's that fragrance you're wearing?"

G-man--that reminds me of a line from one of my favorite plays: "Oh--it's new--it's called 'Come To Me'. It smells like cum to me, does it smell like cum to you?" LMAO--I use that line all of the time, when someone asks me what cologne I have on.

[troschne]

Since when did 50 become old, DCN???

[Bluntfacts]

It is a funny story; even Hollywood can't write scripts like this.

toilet paper.

fox urine.

supersoaker.

night vision goggles.

cellphone.

I think parts of the country are going crazy.

[johnny]

too funny!...ya here in Texas the "super-soaker" would have been a shotgun, and the urine would been the pranksters pissing their pants....I see myself doing this in my golden years...just for fun.

RE: where to get fox urine

Just guessing here, but hunting stores will sell animal urine that hunters use to attract game. I'm guessing it's urine from a female fox that is in heat. I've never heard of it for fox, but have seen it done for whitetail deer. Same principle, I suppose. (and for the record, it smelled BAD.)

[Torgo]

Paybacks are hell.

"God, that's some good crotchety"
LMAO!!!

[MONKEY JERK]

JUST DEFENDING HIS PROPERTY IS ALL.

[JB]

You can buy fox pee to ward off other varmints like deer that liek to chomp on everything, including expensive landscaping. The stuff is potent, so a little dab 'll do ya, a little bottle goes a long way. Diluted into a super-soaker of 1 gallon and it would still have quite an effect.

Nobody got hurt, not permanent damage and the hooligans got what they deserved. If you look for trouble, it will eventually find you.

So he calls his gun a "Pee-Shooter", I'm guessing? :)

[Russ]

You can get wildcat pee at a gardening store, it's supposed to keep animals out of your garden. Back in the early sixties (I'm flashing back pretty good today) Wolfman Jack used to sell Wolf Whiz on his radio show on the mighty 50 thousand watt XERB-AM from Rosarito Beach. He also sold autographed photos of Jesus. I think Fred Phelps probably has one.

[Kelly]

So a kid gets sprayed with fox urine because he was TRESPASSING and the old guy is in trouble? How does that make sense? Personally, I think the kids is a fool to report the incident to the police... it's like reporting that someone stole your drug stash.

[NitroPress]

Well, y'know, today's youth has the right to do anything they want - get drunk, trash people's yards, misuse work tools and sites, kill people through hijinks, etc.

Stupid old man, screwing with their fun. He should be locked up like the party-poo... pee'er he is.

[Mook]

The guy had 15 to 20 idiots headed toward his place? Sounds like they made a big project of harassing him. He even had to get a night-vision scope! The ringleaders should be made to drink critter urine.

[TX_Lad]

When I was a kid, our car was plastered by shotgun pellets while we were out monkey-shining! These kids should were lucky! I wouldn't have been out there with just a supersoaker with that many kids targeting my house. These kids should apologize and move on!

[Elle B]

What is "monkey shining"?

[Elle B]

Also, I don't think it's quite legal to use "deadly force" such as buckshot if someone is tresspassing on your property, only if they've entered your home. Those kids got what they deserved, idiots.

[Sheila]

The dad of the kid who lost the cell phone asks for his son's cell phone back: "Hey, my son lost his cell phone while he was tryin' tuh vandalize your place. Give it back!" No wonder his kid feels entitled to trash someone else's property.

[Sheila]

www.cabelas.com has a one-ounce bottle of fox urine for $4.99. It is sold as a "masking scent." One happy customer reports the substance is useful for keeping rats away if one lives in the country. Enough bottles of fox urine to fill a super shooter would be a bit costly, but probably worth it to spray the vandals. They must be wusses to run to the cops, but the cops are stupid to charge the sprayer.

[Sigh]

If getting sprayed by urine bugs you, here are some of the choices:
1. Assault the homeowner, choke them, and threaten to break their fingers.
2. Call the police whining about getting sprayed with urine.
3. Don't trespass on this guys property in order to vandalize it.

[Sigh]

Hey, in the heady days before the internet bust, there probably was a "foxurine.com" ...

[Reno]

For some reason I keep reading the headline as Fed-ex man instead of Fed-up man, which brings up a very funny visual.

[A.V.]

If they charged the victim of this vandalism, no doubt at least one of the punks was a pig's kid, etc.

I'd like to see them sprayed with birdshot.

[hearse trax]

them dammed kids R lucky it wasn't me .....

I'd of gone after them with a night kustom paint gun B-)

[tinman]

If he had used a garden hose would that be considered a weapon of mass soaking?

[Nauip]

IMO: Theft Charge - not gonna stick. They left the phone and he can simply no one has properly identified the phone and asked for it's return. I bet 12 of his peers will believe this version of the story. Especially since he's turned the phone over to the police.
5th Degree Assault - Again, I bet 12 jurors who've likely had their houses papered by these hooligans will never convict.
Disorderly Conduct? On his own property? The only witnesses would be the kids papering his house?

I'd counter sue for assault here. He warned them to leave. They were trespassing and they assaulted him when "he felt threatened and defended himself while spraying his garden to keep the varmints out" (my words here)

now get offa mah lawn!

[the man in the trout mask]

I seem to recall .... I think I remember reading about three girls that were handcuffed and forced to bathe in a Kentucky Fried Chicken kitchen sink filled with Penguin Urine ... or was it Wolverine Urine at Jack in the Box?

Anyway,I don't think it was the same guy - maybe his wife.

My point is ... where's the harm in that?
People are way too sensitive when it comes to bestial fluids.

[Rock Marine]

When asked, "You smell nice, what's that you have on"?
My reply is....I have a hard on, but I didn't think you could smell it!

[Xero]

Hunting stores sell the urine to mask your smell during deer hunting season. That way the deer just smell the urine, and not human scent

[Jared]

That is a great story and nobody had better push any charges against him.

[Gavin Greenwalt]

"Hollywood can't write scripts like this."

Actually a month ago I saw a short film about some thugs taking over a few kids' neighborhod playground. They enlist the "Tough kid" who tells them to pee into their super soakers and scare off the thugs that way.

Good for him, stupid ass wipes need a little urine to learn respect. Next time he should have 400 gallons of liquid manure through a fire hose under 250 psi and the cops on speed dial. Plus charge a dollar per sheet for toilet paper.
