RE: have you ever been attacked by an animal.
1) Attacked by an owl while squirrel hunting. Thank God for the 12 guage or the talons would be in my face.
2) Struck by a CottonMouth in the knee, but at least I had snake chaps on. The 12 guage made quick work of that one, too.
3) Kicked by a wounded doe in the hand(Still have the scars). An old man 90+ had shot it but wasn' t able to get up out of his chair to retrieve it. So I helped him out. I thought it was dead but, boy, was I wrong. A quick shot, again with the 12 guage, put her out of her misery.
4) This one' s not mine, but my brother' s. Charged by a wild boar, which he shot once at point blank and then his gun jammed. Fortunately, after the hog knocked him down, it died on top of his legs!!!! I guess the FTL' s were no longer white!!
