I went back out and there it was ready for business. Couple quick shots with the glock with black talons and it was over. Gosh that could have been bad for the dog or myself. Been a long time since I've seen one in my yard. So now on. I'll be a little more edgy when out in the yard. And yes, my Glock will be on my side. Sarge Last edited by SGT. C; 05/08/25 07:08 PM.

Wonder why it was “ready for business” they usually freeze in place relying on their camouflage. I’d have left him be. Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked! Gordon Ramsey, maybe…
