Makes me sad and mad. But for us life goes on. A lesson learned. My shotgun would be loaded with #4 shot or larger. BB loads would be better yet. But the ultimate load would be Double 00 Buck. He won't know what hit him with Double 00 Buckshot. Give him the same quick humane kill he gave your extended family (pets) when he returns. And don't feel guilty. He was born with outstanding hunting skills and capable of catching wild animals that are part of his food chain. Preying on defensless domesticated animals is a good reason to be shot. Take him out for Barney and Lily
