What is it with me and you and skunks?

I would probably have at least half emptied the gun. Got in a shootout with a skunk once with my 357. Ticked him off the first round and he spun to fire back. Two quick DA shots put him down without a chance to get me thankfully.

I'm sure a 45 Colt would have been just as good (reply)

If you want to sell an MG in 357 mag x7 or 45 ACP or 45Colt let me know

Just a bit of snark. I would love to find another in any caliber and without the lock hole. Can't get over the size of that dog. Don't know if I could have held water to tell you the truth at ten feet. She did real well!

Would you look at the head on that dang thing!

Personally, I'd have wanted a .45 Colt, just sayin'!

At 10 feet !! (reply)

Good thing she was carrying something serious. I don't think a 22 would be the ticket.

10 ft - too close for my comfort. Nice kill.

She used a .44 mag Mountian Gun. Not a bad choice.

Rene Anderson of Headquarters shot a male wolf with a .44 caliber handgun while bow hunting near her home Sunday. Anderson said she didn't set out to kill a wolf but felt compelled to when the animal made her uncomfortable. She had done a little cow calling about a half-hour before and was working to get to one of her favorite spots. Her eye caught some movement and she thought it was a wolf.

"I kind of ran over the hill," she said. "He apparently seen me and I stopped and he was coming directly at me and kept going so I just laid down my bow and picked up my pistol and I shot him in the head about 10 feet away."

The wolf was close enough and seemingly determined enough that the experience spooked her. She said it clearly saw her and should have known she was human.

"The reason it bothered me so bad is the wind was at my back. I was sweating and the wind was blowing right at him."

She normally doesn't carry her .44 but her husband convinced her to take it. Anderson said she would have preferred to shoot a wolf later in the year when the weather is cold and the animals have their winter coats.

"This is the warm season. The hair is falling out. You got to wait for the cold season when it is long and pretty. I wouldn't have done it except that it was a scary situation."
