The coyotes were raising a ruckus here last night also. Woke me up around 2 am. Like listening to them.
I've thought about it, and I think the biggest danger I face around our property would be bees. I'm constantly cutting, mowing, moving and piling, and I think there's a decent opportunity present to disturb a rogue band of angry yellowjackets. I suppose if I were to receive enough stings the consequences could be dire, and it might actually make more sense in my situation to carry an epi-pen rather than a firearm, but I don't do that either.
Doesn't quite carry the same "oomph" in conversation with the guys either...."yeah, well my epinephrine auto-injector has an ambidextrous safety cap, a fail-safe cocking mechanism, and injects 0.3 mg in one burst".
Yeah, cool factor plummeting.
My wife and I have trouble hitting a 2 liter Coke bottle at 50' with our his n hers 22 Buckmark pistols. Now shooting bees.............. that would be a REAL challenge. There is probably a law against it anyway.
