Something that ugly, on my porch and growling at me, would get instant 12 gauge relief.

Make sure it isn't "endangered species" or be prepared to haul it off where no one will ever find it if you do. We have a home in Lake Jackson, Texas, south of Houston. We have nutria and ALLIGATORS running loose in our town/area. There was an 11 1/2 foot long alligator chasing my neighbor and his dog in his backyard a year or so ago. My neighbor grabbed his gun and shot the 'gator, thus saving his life and his dog's life. It wasn't alligator season! He got into a lot of legal trouble for protecting his life from an attacking alligator. So, just be ready to get rid of any carcus after your kill it! The environazis and endangered speciesNazis are everwhere!

For a varmit, 12ga is appropriate, but for something intersting like this? Give it food and learn about it.
