Snubby in the pocket
Had a similar experience a couple of years back.
I live in a rual area next to a state forest in the Florida panhandle...always have critters to deal with.
One Saturday about mid-morning I looked out the kitchen window and see three possums in the backyard just standing around not moving much. As I watched them, they seemed to be sorta swaying back and forth...acting a little strange.
I loaded up my Ruger K-Hornet 77/22 and eased outside behind the workshop thinking that I could at least whack one of them before the other two took off. Whacked the first one and the other two just stood there "swaying in the breeze". Ended up whacking all three, they never moved. Something wasn't right with them being out that time of day and not being spooked by the rifle fire. Have wondered if it was rabies or maybe distemper.
