Being southern were generally armed in vehicles

Since 1975 I’ve mercy killed roadside probably a dozen critters from deer to dogs to one cow

Deer know when they see the gun and bless their they struggle to drag themselves away

Dogs are clueless

Cow as well

It’s a nasty business but it’s the right thing to do if you can

A bleating doe or a squealing panicked dog I just can’t bear it if I can put them out

.54 muzzleloader and .357 revolver and once a .45 long colt

In front of crying soccer moms

A gruesomely hit boxer in front of a beautiful mom and her kids in a rich part of town

I had her shield the kids and wrapped the dog in a old blanket and put it in the back of their Benz

It was awful by the Jackson country club

Once on 20 between Jax and Meridian a nice buck struggling busted up in the right lane

Trooper was already there

He asked right away if I was heeled

I said yep I’ve got a model 28 .357 in my Subaru wagon kind of like yours sir but with pachmayers

lol me a Subaru funny isn’t it

Anyhow he said go fetch cause I can’t discharge my weapon for this

I did and I fired off towards the shoulder it being a concrete interstate and he stopped traffic

We dragged it off to the side of the road and some guys stopped immediately to coping saw the mast

Same thing in belle Meade in Nashville about 8!years ago a big buck with the cop watching

Mexicans got that boy for dinner

Mercy kills and first on scene for sometimes tragic wrecks are fairly common when you drive 75-125k annually

I was driving with my gf once and ended up mercy killing a doe that had been hit and mangled. I didn't have a gun, I used my hunting knife. What a mess! No nookie for me that night.

(BTW: I turned around to go back and dispatch the cat, but in that 30 seconds or so it had already expired.)

I want to watch that for a lot longer than I should.

I came face to face with a turkey in Calvary cemetery in Maspeth, Queens, NY. Truely a WTH moment.

LOL! I know what you mean. The brain can't process what you're looking at right away. Then when it hits you it's like, "So THAT'S what they look like not all cooked and browned." :)

[VeniVidiVici]

Locals brought them in for hunting, by the hundreds. They’re all over RT 70, flattened. The state has been ripping out all the underbrush in the wooded medians along 70 and everything that was sheltering in it is now freaked out and confused. I swung onto the eastbound exit the other day and young tom was running aimlessly in circles, right in the middle of the road. I blew the horn and spooked it up over the hill in the median, before somebody could run over it. Last fall, a flock of them went marching up the lane, past my house like some weird parade.

Yup. I drive up and down 81 and 70 alot. In one farmer's field not too far north of Hagerstown there is a herd of about 20 of them that just peck the dirt right next to the highway, as brazen as you please.

[Salamander]

Near Maugansville, by chance?

[Salamander]

It really needs Pop Goes The Weasel added as a soundtrack.

The suspense would be grotesquely awesome.

[Salamander]

The original cat video, that is.

/hard to keep track on a phone in a car

:)

[VeniVidiVici]

Actually I do believe it is :) Definitely south of the PA line.

[Trillian]

Ask Slings and Arrows if he can do that. That would be fun.

[jetson]

Possible space alien connection.

[Salamander]

I figured it was either there or right over the line at Marion, PA.

You see the craziest things in that stretch of highway.

:D

[Salamander]

Slings, put Pop Goes The Weasel to the original video, please.

[Salamander]

Yay!

I’ll be waking up screaming, tonight.

[wardaddy]

I bushwhacked my first gobbler near Bude Mississippi

I heard him about 100 yards away and got low and looked down the pipeline rightaway and the he was...showboating

I zapped him

About 70 yards

Number two BB

old Browning autoloader 12 full choke

I don’t u can use that shell anymore

[Slings and Arrows]

Slings, put Pop Goes The Weasel to the original video, please.

OK.

[Salamander]

LMFAO!!!

You make a great evil henchman.

:D

[Slings and Arrows]

Glad to help.

[Salamander]

Do you work biker bars?

Himself has gotten wise to the punchlines I feed him, so *I* don’t get my ass kicked.

:D

[Slings and Arrows]

Strictly a songwriter. Long-term goal is for other people to get their asses kicked while I collect royalties.
