My old Marlin Golden 39A had ended the lives of a few Raccoons. So had my H & R .22 revolver. It’s a shame both of them were in the canoe when it tipped over in the Great Pee Dee river.
You should have had ‘em in those floating gun cases like me! When my boat flipped I was able to save some of mine.
Of course, the house fire we had afterwards took care of the rest...
