    Well considering I grew up in bear country- I don't think I would ever tramp around in that type O area without at least a heavy side arm close by. Seen a couple of hikers with their cute bear bells on their shoes- and not much else left....

    I figure use the mother-in-law as a protector from large animals and if she goes down being an excessively large woman she will be food for a while.

    Yes it is. It takes some work but its actually really good.
    You will need: 3skunks, skinned and cleaned, 1 tablespoon season salt, 3 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon season all, 1 tsp chipotle powder, 3cups bacon fat or 3cups lard, 2 egg yolks beaten, 3 cups milk or 3 cups cream, 1 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons baking powder.

    Clean and wash the skunks, making sure that the scent glands are removed. Cut up into small serving pieces. Put a soup kettle on the stove and add the meat. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and boil until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove all the stuff that rises to the surface and discard in trash. Then drain the water and rinse well with hot water.

    Make a batter by mixing together the egg yolks, milk, flour, seasonings, salt and baking powder. Mix real good until the batter is about like cake batter. Heat the bacon fat or lard in a deep fryer to about 340 degrees. Dip the pieces of skunk in the batter and then fry them in the deep fryer until golden brown. dain well and serve.
    Arby's horsey sauce is GREAT on them.

    Like we used to say in Alaska, if you carry a pistol for protection in bear country, be sure to file off the front sight.

    A 7.62 NATO or 30-06 with softpoints should be plenty unless they are charging you at close range. Then you may be toast no matter what you hit them with once

    A tiger could tear an entire dog pack apart, even mastiffs or rotties

    Unlike you, I do not consider my dogs disposable that way, more likely they would jump in and then I would end up fighting to save them.

    Had I a dog, I'd think the same way as Quigs. When food got too low to feed the pup, I'd be in the same situation. Hate the idea, but one of us would eat the other, and I'd rather it be me that chews.

    Quigley, you should post a warning. I just spit water all over the place. [ROFL]I'm an animal lover, but my daddy was a marine and he says under the right circumstances, anything is edible. You know, there's probably a recipe on here somewhere....I'm so stealing this. When hubby asks what's for dinner, I got an answer.

    I still say a 12g, but if I had to choose something else, a Model 1895 45-70 guide gun ported, good recoil pad, and large loop with 500 grain cast loads

    It's a good day BTP, not often he leaves himself open like that.....he should've chose track over football. He can tackle said wild animal all he wants, I'll be having tacos with Quigley. [ROFL]

    I use a Marlin 1894 .44Mag for hog hunting and when I am small game hunting with my rimfires the Taurus Tracker .44Mag is carried in hip holster for hog/dog/coyote and black bear protection.
