I raised a baby coon once from May to October. He started getting cross so I let him go up at our cabin. He would come back every couple days for some handouts then head back to the Bush. Then just before winter he showed up with 5 other coon for his handout.I couldnt tell which one he was so I shot and skinned them all..

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Dispatch is at my discretion… At some point in your life the killin' wont be the 1st and only thing you'll think about. It sure has lessened for me over the years. Wow, You are human.

It's never been about killin' for me. It was always about making a living. If I have no reason to kill a critter, I'm not going to.

A beaver maybe, but not coons or possums. Beavers have no bearing on the properties I trap, but everything else does. Pinky size or adult size, they all pass over the Rainbow Bridge. Except Reds…they all get a pass until I catch more than one every couple of years. The "obligation stage". That's a difficult stage to get thru when your being paid to kill 'em. Maybe it just time for me to slow it down some.

Cool story. I'd also feel compassion for that. But, been there done that. Sooner or later..
