I've been enjoying the inputs although some are a little far fetched.
Last weekend I had my chance at the disgusting feral beast who is
invading my rocoto patch and disturbing my delicate ecosystem. I noticed
him crouched in my garden, doing his business, and immediately went for
my weapon of choice. A Remington 1100 loaded with 3 fresh 2 oz slugs.
As I carefully tiptoed around the back of my house the beast spotted me.
He began to charge and I had no choice but to let the Remington ring
load and clear throughout the neighborhood. Well, my first shot missed
completely and I blew a huge hole through my privacy fence. Wood flew
everywhere. I think I heard someone scream off in the distance, Lucky
for me, the beast was frightened and began to run. But by then I was
pissed and still had 2 slugs left. My second shot was no better. This
time pepper leaves flew everywhere. Boy was I mad (more so than about
the fence). The coward continued running.
As I watched him run away, I simply put my gun down and did not even
consider a third shot. The smell of gunpowder filled the air and I knew
that I had won this battle. Feral dogs beware. There's a new sheriff in
town. I think next time I will try a new approach, however. If they only
had a Havaheart trap big enough for feral dogs. One things for
sure...his butt would be underwater really quick along with all of those
damn squirrels.
