We had a drive by
Last night, Cale shot a skunk in the chicken house, came in and then we (boys and I, Jerry is working) all got ready to go to church. They went to the pick up and as I gathered up my stuff and stepped out the back door I heard a gun shot, very close and not a whimpy one either. My first thought was "did the boys find another skunk, second thought, we've had a gun "accident", third thought was "WERE ARE MY BOYS?"...all these thoughts in a second or two. I ran to the pu and found them, just fine reading an article out of the rural electric paper, didn't hear a thing. So while being extremely rattled, I came back into the house to see just what had happened, no holes in the top of the gun cabinet, nobody in my house, I looked out the kitchen window and saw a vehicle going north, already 3/4 mile up the road. So, long story short, we must have had a drive by....we're the only house on this mile of road. I called the county and they came out. Who knows??

Re: We had a drive by
Mary, I am SO sorry you had this fright. I am so glad you and the boys are safe.
My next thought would be if the cattle are okay? We have poachers here who will spotlight deer, and shoot them illegally at night. We had one a couple of years ago, since there are two herds of deer that graze out front of the house. Some of them have been known to take cattle grazing on pasture, too.
I am guessing this bunch didn't realize you guys were at home, and took a potshot at something they thought they could steal and eat, or just for the H of it. Scary problem, either way.
Stay safe!

Good to hear. I support the right to bear arms, but some people aren't worthy.
