Just shoot the thing. And if you can’t do that, for what ever reason, thank God yur wife has the smarts to run it over.
It’s not on my property, and you cannot shoot in this town without the property owner’s permission. (It might actually be on state property, it’s just off Route 111.) I think it’s more than 500 feet from any dwelling, but it’s still too close to the road, since I think you have to 75 feet off the road to shoot. I have a “live and let live” additude with nature; every creature has his place and these things don’t hurt anyone.
