"It is the same boiling water that softens the rice, which hardens the egg." It's not always about the circumstances, but what you are made of....

Was he caught by the leg? Curious if the old wisdom about a coyote chewing its own leg off to get away is true.

All I know is I wasnt about to find myself explaining to him or a GW why I was firing shots off a county road into a high fence...
