shootin' 'em's gotta be cheaper

Plus it was a rental, so extra fun dealing with that!

I've found that drawing tunnels on large rock faces that only allow you to pass through when you are being chased by a coyote to be very effective........"ouch" says the coyote.....

Deep Thoughts...

I wonder if a Road Runner has ever tagged a coyote? :hmm:

On our way to GA and back we saw numerous dead coyotes along the highways. I don't remember ever seeing the amount we saw.

There was also many dead Armadillos along the Interstate too. When I lived in GA we called Armadillos, "Possum on the Half Shell". :woohoo:

Good Doctor claims that some were "Racadillos". Hairy Armadillos. We're still wondering what was in the cigars he was smoking during our stops? :hmm:

A 450 Bushmaster will drop a 'yote as fast as anvil will, and there it is hard to find anything left of a Prairie Dog.

Ammo is hard to find. Anvils are not.
