mixed feelings
ok so my dog did battle with a possum under my shed while i was at work. Apparently it went on for a couple of hours. He is a Border Terrier and a spoiled city dog. So when i came home my wife and two daughters were all freaked out First i got him out of there. The Possum stayed under and hissed at us. What to do what to do. I went upstairs and like Paris Hilton picking out shoes for a night out , looked threw my guns and decided on the Ruger .22 Mark 1. I figured it was the quietest gun I have.Don't forget , I live in a very Anti gun state.I had my daughters boyfriend chase the possum out and had it cornered.It was nice sized about maybe 15 feet long......give or take. I had the boyfriend go get my lawnmoter and waited for him. As I waited i stood there eye to eye.....and had second thoughts.Poor animal , one of Gods creatures ...you know shit like that....but then i thought....he'll keep coming back and freak out my females, and that would get on my nerves and i might go on somekind of shooting spree.So i told my accomplice Daniel to crank up the lawn mower on three.He did and i shot......perfect timing and i hit it in the throat from about 10 feet. it was still alive twitching so i had daniel repeat the drill and this time it was a head shot.......i was kinda proud that i man'd up, but now i kinda feel a little shitty...... ...check...

or possums, I don't care.
Anywho, when I first got married, we lived way the hell out in the sticks. My wife had a barn cat she fed on the front porch. Every night I would hear a hell of a ruckus. I finally grabbed the Ruger 10-22 that I had at the time with the bananna clip loaded, only it was loaded with solid points.
I did the "fling the door open, hit the porch light switch and aim" drill. The damned thing just looked at me and kept eating the cat food! So, I put one center of the neck, just behind the head. It started walking, yeah walking, off the porch. I proceeded to pump this miserable thing full of lead at a range that was parting it's hair from muzzle blast. I continued at a barrel length distance still shooting. We went off the porch, down the steps, across the yard and to the corner of the house. That is when I ran out of ammo. I'm sure it died, I just don't know where.
I've never bought anything but hollow point .22 ammo since.

Opossums are the worst!!! I am the wildlife resource person for the county I live in, and I have raised some of them. I feel bad now, cause what if they made it all the way up North to you???? You gotta do what you gotta do!! And with family members that are of the opposite sex, You gotta keep a happy household. (Im guessing ya'll are not used to them in the yard, per say). I think you did the right thing ebear!!! Now go find somebody that likes road kill, and maybe you wont feel so bad!!! LOL
Ebear
well i live right by the woods.So we've had racoons and such. T-Bone my dog is a little bad ass when he needs to be..The thing that got me thinkin, was it was pretty up close and personal, like i said eye to eye.my oldest thinks im the coolest. my youngest is kinda " i don't wanna talk about it right now" and the wife.....well ....i hoping for some oral tonight!!!!! fuck yeah im fuckin Charles Bronson!!!!!
Vaquero

Keep T-Bone current on his shots and good job.

You killed Kenny You Bastard
Ebear
i think.....lol
HampsterW
compound bow....Silent and deadly, I live in the 'burbs as well and if I was to fart too loud the Lib's....errr!....ahhh!.... I mean neighbors would call the cops. Mr possum would be Shishkabab, just 'chuck' him on the grill......How is your dog doing ebear? possums and racoons are not to be fucked with.
HampsterW
"twice pipe's" on that mower????? Mine wouldn't drown out a .22!....LOL!
Ebear
Border Terriers are traditionally tunnel hunters. They were bred to flush out foxes and such. They have this very thick looses skin. T-bone has fucked up some pretty big racoons.I do keep him up on shots. he's a great dog.Photo, i think that family may be looking for a new pet,,,he looked real familier.
photobear6
mexican so you know his lawnmower is a low rider with glass packs and air suspension so he can make it hop
Ebear
good one! !!!..actually, one neighbor did come out, but i think she was convinced it was the mower back firing......i thought it was a smart move....
HampsterW
that way if these 'unpleasantries' happen again, you need not risk a "scene" with the law.....And it's a damn good workout to boot!
ACE
Amen to the workout part of it!!! I just shot mine, But I hate that I have an astigmatism in my dominate Rt eye. It only messes w me every once in awhile, but when it does, It makes me feel like my sights are messed up, and makes me 2nd guess what Im doing!!
HampsterW
Lasik surgery, my mom had the operations (if you want to call it that, out patient) after 61 years of dealing with it......Gotta run, kid needs help working on his car.....BRB!
Ebear
a good pellet-gun, just for the yard........any suggestions? cheaper the better
Shakleford
Maybe a Gamo, but there not cheap!
ACE
I gotta agree w HampsterW. and w Shakleford. 1. a bow will do what u need, quietly, and 2, a pellet gun aint gonna do shit to an Opoussum. Or to a raccoon. Next time, Give the females in ur life a credit card, so they can leave the premises, and then do what U gotta do. ME, I'll b the one doing what I gotta do... U gotta keep some happier than others...
Ebear
the wife and youngest were in the house checking the dog out, my oldest and her boyfriend were my posse.....a bow huh?
ACE
DEFONATELY a bow!! PLEASE dont get a crossbow, unless U dont think U can figure a basic compound bow out. Its not hard, But its not easy either. It takes practice, But it is quiet!!! Check ur pawn shops for right now. Im not really big on that, (thats why I had to duct tape my boobs, I didnt have one fitted for me then, I am shorter than the avg man) but its a start. Im sure Hamp and I can help U get used to the sites and how to adjust ur shots......
Ebear
do i have to tape my nipples?
Shakleford
they carry disease! Just an overgrown rat!
luckybychoice
tastes just like eagle!BBQ tonite....I had a gunfight with a skunk,what i mean is the fucker was trying to set up house under my porch,stinky bastard,so when i found out about it,i went outside with my 870 loaded with 00 buck and an old .22 pistol.I put a garden hose under the porch,turned on the water,and threw down the pistol.When the skunk came out,he made a move for the pistol,that's when i shot him dead.Justifiable,no remorse,no quarter.
Ebear
ur right....im cool with it.......just wish i could have did it with one shot....the twitching kinda got to me....but i did the right thing in finishing it off....i feel better about it.....now i wanna look for its family and get them jobs or something
photobear6
call your nearest Dumbocrat and they'll get them all the assistance they need on th the taxpayers dime so don't feel bad.
Ebear
the hell with it....i feel like Jose Nugent right now!!!!!!

The true definition of mixed feelings is what you have when you see your mother-in-law going off a cliff behind the wheel of your brand new truck/car. And Ebear no matter what NEVER give your credit card to the females in your life.
