Found this little guy in my front yard...

Well I put a stop to this little guy digging up my front yard. Shot him with a .22LR at around 15 yards and he dropped like a brick. I never thought a .22 would make so much damn noise but I was shooting from the front porch and the echo really made it loud enough to wake up both kids and scare the wife. I told her a suppressor would help with that problem but she just laughed...20130905_211940.jpg

No i pitched him over the fence across the street. I live across the street from a 2000 acre ranch.

I had already gotten a good whiff of the stench so that's probably what it was.

Sprinkle some baking soda to the area he sprayed, wont take all the smell away (I don't think there is a single thing in the world that will) but it helps A LOT!!

Well... The wife says she saw another one around 6 this morning in the back yard. Looks like I'll have to listen for the dogs sounding off that there is another one tonight...

I can only pray that if it does spray upon it's death that it doesn't get one of the dogs...

So? Scouting reports? Updated intel on enemy position/build-up of troops? Call the WH and let 'em know the rebels are using gas !!

LOL... you guys actually got me thinking. Since I'm not in an incorporated area I actually could bust out the belt fed... well if I had one I could. But Ratdog is right they are using bio weapons... maybe I can just talk to a senator or something and get the G to send me an M2!?

Actually I waited a month or more till that one came back in so I could sling some lead at it. I checked out my front door a few times after the sun went down and got up every time I heard the dogs barking at night. I didn't see or hear anything last night and I am starting to think I'm not going to see hide nor hair of one tonight either.
