Dude it was a maul. A ball peen hammer would have been cruel.

Yeah all you broken-legged half-eaten fawns better run, um, if you can, 'cause I'm comin' ta gitcha!

You've been a good sport. I'd need a drink after that shit too, amigo. Way to handle it like a man.

Thanks man. I tried telling it some jokes, they usually kill but it didn't work.

I need some new material I guess.

However, this pup goes bonkers when he sees them...in our yard! He apparently can see and smell them thru the bushes, and he reacts accordingly.

These folks really pissed me off though by coming over a while back and telling us, not only do they not want to see our cats walking thru their yard ever...but they do not want us to let them out at all b/c their dog barks when he sees them (IN OUR YARD).

I felt that was rediculous, and I'm thinking that woman might get a pellet next time I see her!

my dog loves killing cats but now that she is getting close to 15 yrs old she hasnt caught one in years. she still gives chase though, and i had a neighbor pissed off at me for encouraging my dog to chase their cats (IN MY YARD). i had to explain that as long as her cats were using my horseshoe pits for toilets, i was going to encourage my dog to chase them out of the yard.

and the only thing getting the pellet is the damn cats crapping in my pits.

well, maybe the gophers that moved in this summer, they might get one too.

...and jam my thumb right up in theheh, krikey!

The whole thing with real time posting is that it's a story in the telling, rather than a story told. The unknown outcome carries tension. Held in suspense, there's time to share everyone's take on things. That's interestingly cool.

I feel for iceman, he set himself up from the get-go, reporting his dilemma live, a proposed fawn killing, his dogs the instigating perpetrators, and ice knowing it fell on him to resolve things. It was his call. You did the right thing because you did what you felt you had to, ice.

You shoulda been at the party when the bloody dog ran into a crowd of screaming women and girls. I had to round that dog up, get it in the trunk of a car, and take a drive in the woods. It sucked. We all agreed it sucked. Took a few months for the suck to fall off that memory. Time heals.

Hope your thumb is OK.

Meat, it's what's for dinner...

best example from internet's (recent) lore: guy sits for some commando browsing of teh intarweb on a wooden chair. his privates get stuck in the chair's crack. the rest is hilarity ensuing and around 1400 of the finest, funniest posts ever:

"I'm stuck to my chair. I'm so very scared. Help."

this is what iceman's thread reminded me of, especially after he chose to use a mallet.

(warning, the thread above is huge)

I don't know mang. I was skiing with ice last season. I beatered and as he was hiking back up the hill towards me, I swear I saw a maul in his hand and a gleam in his eye.

Ice is a stone cold killa.

Good call on the maul, very turn of the century Chicago slaughterhouse. But when all is said and done you gotta play the clubs you got in the bag.

Props for stepping up and putting it out of its misery. My hunting experience is limited to birds and the few times I have to speed a mammal on its way the other side it wasn't easy.

The humor in this thread rocks!


And for those folks talking about shooting pest animals in their yard, make sure your bullets won't hit something else... and a good way to do it quetly is to open your window, put saran wrap over the opening, stand several feet back, and fire through the saran wrap. Most of the noise will be contained especially if you are using a .22lr to do it. Make 110% sure your bullet isn't going anywhere bad if it misses.

Noise containment helps with freaked out neighbors.

Or a good idaho potato jammed on the muzzle will serve the same purpose. The poor man's silencer.

I take it you have done this before?.

I would have hard time killing the deer, but you helped the thing out and are better person for it.

I have not personally done that. No situation requiring my action has presented itself. I don't care about the racoon on my porch or the deer/fox/bear in my parking lot.

This thread is f'ing hilarious.

Ice, you're a man now, use it wisely.

I don't doubt his feelings at all, and your right, he asked for a humane way to end the deer's suffering, but then he:

sledgehammered it too death but the first hit wwas kinda off so it got its head through the wire fence and I couldn't reach it, it was kicking like shit, I had to drag it back and club it to death.

How hard is it to grab even a kitchen knife and just slit the damn deer's throat?

eh apparently harder for some than others...at least ice has good taste in whiskey.

I found some BBQ sauce called P.E.T.A. = PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS



BRILLIANT

Since this is back at the top, I'll answer your question: I never even thought of it. I grew up in an urban/suburban environment, I've never been hunting a day in my life, the biggest thing I ever killed before yesterday was mice. I said "what the fuck should I do?", somebody said bash it over the head, I said okay, then I ran out to the garage, grabbed the first thing I saw that I thought would work, ran out into the woods and killed the thing as fast and as well as I could, basically freaking out the whole time.

Sorry if that's not good enough for you my man, I did the best I could.
