Bayou, I'm still against it. If it would have stopped I'd be a much happier person. But, for an educational purpose, There's my contribution. I hope somebody learned something. I'm working on some custom loads for the rifle and will post the results on groundhogs when I get my day.
When you can't stop the action, join in it!
One time I shot a possum, came up to it and its belly was moving...I thought it was out of one of those horror movies until I saw the pouch. The thing was pregnant and had darn near 7 babies inside. All still attached. They crawled out, hairless, the eyes sealed shut and I had no choice but to one by one, shoot them with my .22 handgun. I have not since eaten my mothers ham salad. The color of the salad and the color of their bodies were identical. They oozed this yellow material after me dispatching them which somewhat had the consistency of the ham salad. I darn near puked once I realized what I'd done. We've been having problems with those darn things coming onto our porch chewing things up.
