Trust me, I get it, Patrick. You did the right thing: Never pleasant, always a mess.

I've had to shoot a number of animals over the years, some rabid, some just annoying to the extreme.

I always carry in the Ranger...the hardest one for me was a rabid Fox, clearly under duress. I even called the Wildlife Management guy who lives near me: After I described what I was seeing, "kill it now" was all he said.
