I wonder how many posts before Grandpa is chided for not carrying a gun.
Gramps should've been packing.
33.
Gramps should carry his gun.
I strapped on a pistol when we lived i the desert North of Phoenix. One year we had 3x the normal rain and every living thing out there made the most of it. By that winter we had coyotes everywhere, all the time. My neighbor and I would patrol our area and try to protect our stock that was left - all the chickens, turkeys, and peafowl were gone. So were all rabbits, gophers, etc. in the area. Our calves and colts were endangered. I spotlight a hill beside us, counted 34 coyotes before they all disappeared (temporarily). Next day I tried to get help from the county. They would loan me a trap to catch them, but I had to take them to the nearest county land and release them there...didn't even say oooops when I replied that was 30' from my place and where they were. I mentioned it to a few friends and several nights later the automatic fire from their den areas...no more trouble.
