To borrow a phrase from Jerry Clower--"it sounded like a young war" near my house the other day and it wasn't women opening them canned bisquits.
While i was in the house i though i heard gunfire. 1st thing i thought was a neighbor shot a skunk (not un-common--we have had a few rabies cases). Well, one shot turned into 2---then 3, a whole string rapid fire and it sure sounded close. I grabbed my gun and radio and went to lookin'. I was half-way there when dispatch advised me that the pd was on a javelina call in my area.
Turns out it was a city officer with his glock 40 one street behind me trying to kill a javelina that came into town. We have a small creek about a half mile away and i guess he just wandered in.
Danged if i didn't think this boy was more dangerous than the javelina! 9 shots fired in a small back yard. Think maybe he needs some range time or at least he better get re-aquainted with the 870!
Real glad this was not at night.
Never bothered to hunt javelina before as they never bothered me. They are about blind and easy to get up on. This little feller was about 30 lbs.
here's a little web-site about them
