* alarm

(told in the war story narrative)

So there we were 0200 dead asleep, when the alarm went out, ducks quacking madly outside. Woken I promptly armed myself with the trust 10/22 and went out to check the perimeter. Then I saw it, 40-50 of them, pounds that is, of raccoon. Two beady eyes looked at with that attitude of disdain for interrupting its supper as it tried to scamper up the tree. I raised my rifle and fired as it moved, two shots and I wounded the meanie, I decided to out flank the meanie so I could bring a better field O fire on the critter which meant breaking contact temporarily loosing sight I was unsure of where the enemy was.

Knowing it didn't go far I looked at the top of the tree and noticed a fuzzy little grey patch, I aimed carefully and fired one more pissing it off even more, sadly for the critter it turned around and glared at me, with its two eyes glowing in my crosshairs I lined up on the right one and fire one last volley..... The raccoon is now sleeping....

    I really like the raccoons. They are intelligent, they have hands like humans.
    They are cute!
    But, they are omnivores, and they love to eat birds, including ducks.

    If I had some pet birds, I would be shooting '* too.

    I wouldn't mind trying my hand at raising one, but wild ones are destructive as hell, and my ducks are too much fun to have around... The goose too for that matter, (it chases the dog off which is funny as hell to watch)

    an old feller i know had a native cat in his chook house at 3.00am and took his torch and rifle out to do battle...he forgot his glasses,fired a shot, scared the native cat away and thought no more of it until morning...his wife walked in and said you stupid blind old meanie! you missed the native cat and shot my best layer![:D]
    he still hasn`t lived that one down...and won`t![;)]

    You and me both! [;)]

    That's why I used to like Don Rickles as a kid.
    He always claimed to be an equal opportunity bigot in his comedy.

    Alas, in today's climate he'd be waterboarded.
