Went on a call today for a sick-looking skunk. Sure enough when I arrive this thing is sitting up against a wood fence twitching and shaking about. It's broad daylight so I put 2 and 2 together that this thing is not doing too well. It was probably on the young side of things. Not quite a baby but not full-grown either. I bladed at 60 degrees (45 is for non-operator civilians) and engaged the target with a single shot of Speer Gold-Dot 45ACP. Range was about 10 feet to avoid skunk spray getting all over me. The shot hit right behind the shoulder blade, as I had a perfect profile shot. Subject stiffened, twitched, rolled onto its back and ceased moving. I grabbed a garbage bag, bagged it, and brought it to the dump for disposal. As I was driving there I heard the garbage bag moving around. When I removed the bag from the car the thing still appeared to be alive. I waited a minute or two more and it expired. As a side note, I need to start carrying earplugs in my duty bag. I can't hear shit out of my already-shitty left ear  Next time I'm going with 9mm

| You need some 5.7x28mm "death rockets". When they hit a living being, they tumble 720 degrees then home in on the beating heart. Once it homes in, second stage rockets fire and the bullet fragments into multiple bullets with razor-blades extending from each one, closing in on the heart until it has been shredded into perfectly shaped cubed pieces. |
We were all out of those. Too many dog calls
