One strange story. It all started earlier today I get a distressed call from Wifey about the car, said she'll tell me when she gets home. I'm thinking a mechanical problem or something. She gets home and tells me she found mouse dropping in the glove box and floor mat. She has a sweet tooth and likes to bribe our son for good behavior with treats she keeps in the glove box. I clean out the glove box to find a bunch of droppings and chewed ketchup packs and other treats have been compromised. Takes me a good hour to clean out all the candy and mess. She leaves me a box of glue traps for the car. So I empty the glove box and leave only 2 glue traps in the glove box. I get to work at 430PM and get sent home at 540PM cause of rain. Iron working and rain don't mix. My Business partner is flying in at midnight, since I'm not working I go to Laguardia to pick him up. I get home 130AM and check Wifeys car and low and behold there's a huge mouse in the glue trap. I wouldn't have bet on that since the car parks on the street in a different spot every day. So I take the mouse and put it at the bait station, backstop. I see the scraps I left out earlier were gone and the ding donger battery was dead. Go inside and get more scraps and a fresh battery. On the way out I see eyes looking back at me 32 yards out so I go to my position and a coon comes and inspects the mouse. Had the back of his head and knowing I'm a little low and left I hold over and let one fly. BINGO...love those Eunjins. Right behind the ear, violent dance and done. So I go out to dispose of the mess and get startled by another critter behind the backstop. I couldn't see till I was on top of it but looked like a Crat but couldn't tell it was very dark. There was a faint musky smell though. It scurried off and I continued my business. I get inside to write this up and the ding donger goes off. It's the little skunk from earlier, and it runs off with the mouse. No time for a shot. Boy what an eventful night.

Great shooting, Anthony!
That is a fat one.
-
Nice shooting Anthony!
-
Nice shot I got a skunk the other day.
-
Nice shooting Anthony. Good story too. It's always something...
-
That's funny the candy stash got raided. Nice work on the raccoon and mouse. I would not mess with a skunk at all. With my luck it would not dump its glands until it ran right up to me. lol
-
Great right up and photo. But you forgot an important part... What gun shot the Eunjins?
-
Good shooting and pic and need the Bandit's to start kicking around here again. Ed
-
Good shooting on the bandit! They do a very "violent" death dance that can last from 15 seconds to a minute sometimes.
Are you in Long Island?

Thanks guys busy couple of nights.
Squirrel did the skunk spray? If so body shots have a better person percentage for not spraying, you just need the power for a quick eradication.
Sam it was my WAR tuned Mrod sending 43.2 eunjins at 800 fps, coon at 25 yards.
Harry I live in Sleepy Hollow Just south of the headless horseman bridge. The bridge and church do exist just 2 blocks from me.

Well done! Better keep traps set in the car still just to be safe. Be careful on those skunks, I got hit 50 ft downwind from a trapped one when I was a teenager...ma knew what happened before I walked up to her!

It was a neck shot didn't even spray just squirmed to his hole and died right there. I was hand feeding turkeys one time and I started smelling something from under the coop. I think it was the same one I shot and it got under there threw the ribbit holes
