[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 742319, member: 9"] A true event that happened to me last year... I was checking the fence line on one of our pastures. I came across a young deer that that got caught in the barb wire, had shreaded it's hind legs where bone was exposed. It was still alive. Since I had my handgun strapped on, I was able to euthanize it to take it out of it's pain and misery. There are, after all, "good" reasons to have a firearm close by. Wolves, coyotes, wild boars, and other nasty predators that can harm you or your livestock. On a sidebar, my brother who has a ranch in SW Texas only got a single shot .410 couple of years ago (after taking several years to convince him he needed a gun). He is basically a pacifist. That aside, his location is known to have mountain lines, wolves, and other serious predators that have been sighted from time to time. I wish him luck with his SS .410 should he encounter something...it's too far for me to drive to visit him in the hospital or morgue... lol. [/QUOTE]
