Coon hunt took a decided turn...

...when this bruiser stepped out all by himself just before dark. Made my suppressed .22 feel pretty inadequate right about then.

Thankfully my old M70 in .250 Savage was close at hand. An 87 grain Ballistic Tip ain't no great thumper, but stuck just behind this one's ear brought everything to a sudden stop.

Armored in dried mud and stinkin' to high Heaven...I'm waiting til tomorrow to drag him off to the boneyard.
