Stray Cast

[roadrunner]

Had a stray dog lying under my boat couple mornings ago...when I tried to get my cover off the boat he tried to take me out....luckily I made it back in the house before he took my leg off. Couple of well placed .38 hollow points did the trick...works everytime.

I think two might be overkill HOORAH

Let me clarify something before someone faints. I failed to say, "Use a pellet gun to kill one or two BLACKBIRDS." I went back and reread my post and it sounded like I could have been talking about cats. lol

These dang blackbirds are leaving a mess on my driveway and cars I'm gonna have to drop a few and hope they die up in the trees.

Don't know whether you have noticed or not but blackbirds seem to have a "scout/leader" of sorts. It's always a big male (I know you're not going to check for his sex); he will be a larger than the rest and appears to be braver and more stubborn than the flock. He squawks louder and they seem to follow him. If you can kill him, you will create a commotion with the flock and they will leave for several days.

Catch a time when the tree is full of them, just before dark, and turn loose a load of squirrel shot and kill about a dozen. lol

When we were children, didn't we sing a song about "Blackbird Pie?" See if you can find your old recipe. lol

LOL....Before anyone has a hissy about my .38 hollow points...I put the two rounds right in front of the dog as he was sitting in my yard just off my porch where he had chased me...lol. The noise and the dirt kicked up in his face was more than enough to send him packing...of course I will say that if the on purpose near misses had not done the trick I would not have hesitated to put a third round right between his eyes. Nobody gets between me and my boat...LOL.
