Surprise while testing new spoon

[Red88Carrera]

I went out back to test my new .380 and found a surprise target. The Ruger performed much better than he did.

[john walker's workshop]

are you going to eat it or was it just for fun/waste?

Nice pic of some grass. I guess you're a big man now because you shot a skunk. What was he doing to deserve this death by hot lead?

[Red88Carrera]

He was up around the house where my family and dog hang out. If it's a skunk, woodchuck, or fox, they can't come around the house. Any place else, I let them be. That's going on the advice from the DEC.

I shoot all of them, they dig up the yard like bulldozers! I don't poison the watershed with grub killer, so I have more than my fair share of them, but last year the skunks were just destroying my yard, but not anymore, after shooting 6 of them last season, I have not seen one yet this year.

[Red88Carrera]

How dare you!!! You should have invited them in for coffee!

Being out in the day like that? Probably carrying rabies... I'm sorry but they are one critter that has no use, other than the spread of a very bad disease....

You guys that are crying foul are probably city dwellers. When you live in the country you look at things a little differently. You have to protect yourself, and the usual predators that cause the most damage are the smaller ones. This is a pic from my home office window. This occurs just about every day. They don't bother anything. It's the little ones that create a problem. As much as I don't like it, they can't be around the house.

What a cute little gun. For the wife?

[redstrosekNic]

Do skunks release their spray when they get shot? I bet that was fun cleaning up...
I hate to see anything die, but I understand you sometimes have to do what you have to do if it involves family safety...

If the critter is really that scary I guess you have to kill it but to post it like you did something noble shows a sad side of gun ownership.

A year after a skunk spray I'm still "activating" our dog when he gets wet or with a bath. Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda with a bit of Dawn is the internet recipe - helped, but not perfect. Never found the varmit - but plugged the fence hole it used. These creatures could use thinning out. Lots on the local roads this year. Sorry for not spacing that all out!

Spoken like a true city dweller...
I didn't post this to puff up my chest about having to put down a nuisance animal. I posted to brag about my new spoon. I'm sorry if the post offends anyone that doesn't live in this environment. Again, when you live out in the country, you have to protect yourself when necessary. You can not allow these wild animals to roam in the proximity of humans or domesticated animals, period. Bad things happen quickly if you do.

That "cute little gun" scares the crap out of the wife. I would not want to be on the receiving end of it either. Looks are deceiving.

FWIW I left the skunks alone. Kept people from prowling around the property at night and warned me when they were doing it! Skunks learned my voice and completely ignored me. One used to beg to be petted! Sweet little thing!

I killed three scorpions the other night, one in the bathroom, two in the backyard. I didn't even think about relocating them. I'll kill every one of the I find and I go looking for them.
