A Masked Bandit bit the dust today. Wife caught a coon in the henhouse this morning, I guess Mrs Coon figured out to wait until daytime, after we let the chickens out, then go in and help herself to some eggs, and maybe a chicken or two. I was doing some farm equipment repairs, she comes driving up, honking. I grab my Ruger Standard auto, top off the magazine, and off we go. At the first shot, it started "flip flopping" all around the coop. Then it started to flip flop closer to me...in a small coop...I did a "mag dump" on it. Good thing I topped it off. Wife was surprised it didn't just fall over dead, told her this isn't the movies.
