[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Oh Crap I shot my Neighbors Dog (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 9/12/2010 3:26:38 PM EDT

Sometime last year when I was on vacation in California I was out looking for armadillos with my .22lr conversion and two of these things were about 50 yards from my cabin. Took aim and the Aguila 38gr Super Extra dropped it in its tracks.

Family seems to argue its a possum. I say its a coyote because of the dark tail.

You can tell by the fur that it is a larval stage chupacabra.

It was still daylight outside. I could tell it was a threat.

Gray Fox. I've killed hundreds calling/trapping so take it to the bank that is what it is. Looks like a healthy one. Boy what a waste of a pelt that's not even prime yet.

God save us from Joe Homeowner.

I'm pretty sure its called poaching. Taking a furbearing animal out of season and unlawfull method of take.

How the fuck do you aim on that rifle? Looks like the front light is blocking the sights.

BTW, it's a Gray Fox, no question about it!

When dealing with destructive varmits like crows, groundhogs and coyotes, yes. Most states are much more restrictive of furbearers like fox & martins.

In LA, Foxes may only be taken is season by trapping. Season closes in the end of spring.
