Have you ever took a "varmint" with your pocket or carry gun?

I took a rabit with my Remington 44 blackpouder revolver replica. Hunting rabits with my .22 rifle was just not very chalanging. I also have taken a coon with my colt police positive special in 32-20.

One night the dogs started making a heck of a ruckus--barking, screaming and cussing--and I went sailing out of the house with only my P7 about my person. When I finally had a clear shot in the midst of a bunch of beserk dogs, I thought I nailed a bobcat.
Not so, Red Ryder. Turned out to be the biggest porcupine to ever wander up out of Palo Duro Canyon. Cost me a small fortune in vet bills to get the dogs repaired.
Got dispatched to a prowler call one afternoon. I was wandering around someones back forty, when I came nose-to-ugly with a feral hog. He puffed up, and stomped a couple of steps towards me, so I promptly nailed him twice with the afore-mentioned 9mm P7.
We then had a quick race to the nearest bois d'arc tree.
Lest ye Unbelievers point out the the Wimpiness of my beloved P7, I should point out that my back-up was a DPS Trooper carrying a SIG P220 in .45 ACP. He came looking for me, found me and the hog, laughed his butt off, made some tacky comments, centered the hog with a Black Talon--and promptly got chased onto a woodshed.
The hog finally got bored and wandered off after about 20 minutes.

Lawdog,
Thanks for the mini L-File.
Back yard possum at night with a .177 air rifle. One five yard shot to center chest from front, when the vapor cleared, nothing to be seen. Found his bones in the tall grass later that year.
Back yard perfectly legal "crow-like" bird on ground, .177 air pistol. One shot from ten yards. Coup de grace from eighteen inches.
Back yard racoon at night with a .22 CB round from about 3 yards in the back of the neck. Ruger MkII. Arrogant little b@st@rd.
Numerous "feral" cats in the back yard with the laser-sighted 1377 air pistol--non-vital areas targeted; no fatalities. (If you don't want your cat shot at, don't let it cr@p in my flowers.)
I don't shoot snakes or lizards.
Great thread. Regards,
Ledbetter

"I disagree with killing snakes, unless they are poisoness."
So do I. And I should have specified that I don't bother non poisonous ones. But IMHO mankind has had a legitimate feud with poisonous ones since prehistoric times.
