Just like Jesus, sometimes you gotta kill some hogs.

I hear ya. Drove up to a feeder a few weeks back and saw a young one scamper up the tree nearby. Had him in my sights...let him go. I'll shoot him when he gets bigger.

Nasty little thing! But also cute. I can't bring myself to kill babies either.

I let so many things pass once I got in my 40s. Here a two I passed on the last year. Big fat raccoon sleeping in a fork of a tree about 3 feet off the ground. I waked within 2 feet of him carry a 12 guage loaded with buck shot. Had no desire kill him. He looked very peaceful so I went in for a picture instead. ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-63dPqSz/0/15e96ce5/L/i-63dPqSz-L.jpg) Deer hunting last year I had a young bobcat walk almost right in to my pop up blind. I kept taking his picture and he kept looking in try to figure out what I was. I kept trying to shoo him away. He just walked bak in forth about 8 feet in front of my stand. ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-8zWkgSf/0/b25ade9c/XL/i-8zWkgSf-XL.jpg)

I would have done the same thing. I don't kill Ringtails either. A bout with cancer will give you a different perspective on life!

Nothing wrong with letting him go. I don’t kill babies either.
I’m just not that mad at them.
