Never again!
The last few days I've had problems with a possum coming up on the porch to eat cat and dog food. I've also had issues with a certain ****, but I can't catch him in a trap.
I caught the possum and let him go, hoping that he would stay gone. No such luck, as when I walked out a bit ago I saw possum hindquarters sticking out from under my lawnmower up on the porch.
I came inside and loaded a Commander with four CCI shot loads. Went back outside and started trying to dislodge a really teed off possum. Finally got him to jump off the porch, at which time I let fly with a shot charge.
Now he was REALLY pissed off, and I screamed at him not to go under my front steps. He did. I got a good look at him under there and figured he was dead and that I'd be out there in the cold after work in the morning getting his carcass out.
Well, within a couple of minutes he limped out the other side, and while he was taking a break, I finished him off with a .22 rifle. The moral of the story is, use Hydra Shoks the first time.
