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
(BTW: I turned around to go back and dispatch the cat, but in that 30 seconds or so it had already expired.)
Yay!
I’ll be waking up screaming, tonight.
