CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

I just got back from feeding the goats their morning handful of pellets....and believe it or not....I saw a trio of litter mates out in field#1 close to the ditch. So, still have work to do...

Time to start carrying the rifle Fred!

I'd have to get a sling to carry it, but have a holster for the pistol.....might have to get better with it....practice makes perfect, as the saying goes....

 

[Bruce]

Well if they don't know you are there you have plenty of time to aim right?

I have several choices of rifles but my favorite for making critters disappear is our HMR17. Plenty of power and the sound doesn't carry to the next county like some do. We just got back and catching up but it sounds like you have more than one family of those critters around.

 

[CntryBoy777]

There are certainly no shortages of those or possums around here....surrounded by woods, creeks, ditches, ponds, and grain fields....there is way more than I care to think about. That is one big reason I hold to my position of no trees inside a bird yard. They will cross over limbs and climb down to get them. Also why I will always close them up at nite.

Had to look up HMR17. Looks like a pretty decent rifle

Bruce, that still wouldn't stop your DD issue but they aren't much louder than a 22 and I have taken down a coyote with one. It's with me most of the time on the cart but if the wind is blowing much I won't waste a shot since the shot size is so susceptible to wind drift.

To see your brother? How is he doing?

In spite of being very predisposed to answer any question, I'm still so stressed out over all that took place I better let it go for now.
He is doing better tho, after 4 days in the hospital on IV and electrolytes and me driving him 440 miles to get it done while he hung on the precipice of death every mile of the way. He's back home with his wife, walking some and talking coherently.
I was reminded of what Woodrow Call told Gus.
I guess this will teach me to be more careful about what I promise people in the future.

Big hugs @greybeard. No more explanation needed. My prayers for you and your brother.

Sorry GB. Glad to hear that he's doing (somewhat) better.
