I heard what sounded like a badly wounded animal crying inthe ditch alongside the hightway. Grabbed my 22 pistol and went prying throught that tall grass. Heard a growl, looked down and my boot was about 6" from the nose of a badger...well for about 1 nanosecond it was there. Took me an hour to get back into the vicinity.

ive never been on a coon hunt with dogs and whta not, but i want too. The coons i kill are because they are a pest and eat our feed and what not...
not to mention that it is fun to run em down on foot and shoot em with a pistol....
So I have a large pile of wood by the boiler left over from the past winter. I am in the process of stacking it so as to make it easier to cover and pull from. All was gowing well until about a third of the way through the pile. That's when I heard it. I pulled a stick of oak, and the pile growled from deep inside. Not sure if I heard right, I pulled another stick....yep, the pile is growling at me. So either there is a stick of oak, or perhaps even a rowdy maple that is very content being where it is in the pile, or I have a trespasser of the furry four legged type that has taken up residence. I see no entrance to the pile. I dug out some supplies today that I may need in the near future. 22's, and tomato juice. I'll keep you posted....
if ur feeling crazy... go in after it with a 9mm like me and my buds do
^^my friend
That would have made a great video!
Has yet to be a critter to get the best of me... Been busy with work. Gonna try to get out there in the AM and tear through the pile with camera at the ready.
Your friend needs a basic handgun course.
if ur thinking his finger is in the trigger.... cameras make things seem like something they arent. trust me, he is one of the safest guys i know/hunt with when it comes to firearm safety.
Yeah, that's what it looks like. Okay, you were there, I wasn't.
Well, if they are impacting your farm operation, I can see it. I always had a soft heart for the masked bandits though. Chasing them down and shooting them with a pistol for fun has never even occurred to me. Possums though... by the amount of them on the road flat, you'd think they were large flightless moths, drawn to their deaths by headlights.
There ya go, made me look like a PETA fanatic with almost no effort at all. LOL

HH, I'm with ya. I might actually brake for a raccoon in the road, but true story, I dang near hit a bridge abutment trying to hit a possum. He was a little closer to the bridge than I estimated, and it took some evasive maneuvers afterward, but I got the SOB. I was a good 10' off the road at the time of the thump.
Wish y'all wouldn't have sent them things up here as presents in hay bales. They appeared up here during the late 80's when drought up here caused a lot of hay to come up from the south, and it's commonly thought that the possums, being the lazy bassturds that they are, just hitched a ride. I hope they decide winter sucks up here and get on the next southbound.
I saw a story in the paper a few weeks ago about a raccoon. It was rabid and actually chased a guy up one of the boats at his boat yard. The coon even tried to climb up after him. Being in a metal building his cell phone didn't work, so there he was being pursued by the critter. Eventually another guy comes along and he gets chased too, the both of them ending up hiding in the back of a truck. Eventually a woman comes home they warn her, and she's able to capture it in one of her kennels. The guy had to get those painful rabies shots because he wasn't sure if he had come in contact with the beasts saliva. Guess they make you ill and burn.
