Had a couple of rabid skunks in my community.I saw one,took my .22 rifle and shot in my front yard.My luck a cop was down the road.He came up saw the skunk and almost cited me. I had it tested and it WAS rabid,out during the day too. Never did get cited for it either.

had a similar incident except it was a rabid racoon out in the day and i shot it between the eyes with my benjamin sheridan air rifle. And the neighbors called the cops lol i thought for sure i was gonna get cited but ended getting a long lecture about discharging firearms in city limits and a thank you for taking out the rabid racoon the cop was really cool about the whole thing.
