Well, at least he was gone and the only punishment I got was burying the rooster and not getting any more shooting lessons. Only thing I’ve ever shot in my life :)
I'm not fond of it myself, but I have a snake gun and use it sometimes. My husband always wanted me to hunt with him, so I did go in Dec. But I didn't really enjoy it.
You might want to keep them away from the rest of your critters until you know they aren’t sick.
