I had one last year and I told my wife I needed to find the time to shoot it when it wasn't near the buildings, dog kennel, propane tanks or trailer. She laughed at me and said we moved to 20 acres and now you want to kill the wildlife... I knew it just meant more targets this year and I wanted to prove a point that I'm always right!
That fat bitch had 7! They are everywhere. My wife is freaking because they are coming right up to the house and she is worried about fleas and ticks. I just gave her a look and repeated what she had told me. Point proven.
Shot one baby and threw it over the hill. Haven't seen another since. Weird timing and they all just happened to leave the den in the next couple of days or they got the message!
Mom is still around but she is skittish and is always infront of an expensive or explosive backstop.
A ground hog with a fancy paint job did this to my burn barrel. No clue what happened?! I only burn cardboard in there and never any food things. It either climbed in and couldn't climb out or it intentionally went through the side looking for who knows what.
