As noted in an earlier post, I’ve actually done the “KACHUNK” thing. After a few minutes, I walked outside and saw a puddle of urine on the ground just outside my front door.
Maybe doesn’t work for everyone, but worked for me...
On a really dark night I heard 2 perps walking on my deck slowly. I got my shotgun and snuck the long way around my house. When they heard me one turnedd and I could see his eyes! I leveled my shot gun and the perp then moooed.
