Chief, care to offer any other, more intelligible, gems of insight on "the Weps" and dealing with the Man, or what a proper Westerner does with his guns? [does it involve body cavities?]

Ah---Chief.
Per your posting of my Idaho camping photo, I am an "Idaho Native," & a strange blend of liberal tree-hugger vs redneck conservative, common to this backward & gun-loving state.
I posted this on TheBraveCowboy's skunk thread tonight.

Brave Cowboy: I feel for your plight.
We have intervals where we have lots of skunks here on the ranchette, then there's a die-off, likely due to rabies.
I unfortunately have caught them in a live trap like Chaz posted on three occasions, when I was trying to live-trap stray cats or rock chucks.
First time, I was conveniently out of town, so Heidi called Fish & Game and an summer-intern Warden showed up to deal with the skunk. They agreed on the tarp-method, and the intern got the piss sprayed out of the tarp & him, while Heidi watched from a safe distance. After a while he borrowed my 22 rifle shot it, bagged the stinking body and left, and the ranchette smelled of dead skunk for three days. (I’m sure the poor intern-Warden found a new career choice.)
So-----I don't believe in tarps anymore.
The next year, I went out to the live trap at 7:00 AM and found a skunk instead of a stray cat. I wandered back to the house for coffee & thought up a new plan. Normally skunks squirt when shot, but I had been counseled that if a bullet breaks their spinal cord, they can't squirt. I had also noted that lack of squirting, when I shot a rabid skunk that was attempting to join us & some friends during an afternoon tour around the ranchette. It still is important to bury skunks before the muscles relax and the odor comes out.
Fortified with coffee, I walked back to the trapped skunk with my 22 rifle & a shovel. I closed on the skunk until he was getting real excited, backed off a little and dug a deep hole. Then I moved as close as possible to the skunk & shot him 3 times in the back of the neck, opened the cage, dumped him into the hole, & quickly back-filled it. I hardly got any stink on me at all.
The third time was this summer and I tried the same scenario, but wasn’t as lucky in my shooting, due to the cage wire deflecting two of my shots. I shot more times to be sure of the kill & the skunk started dripping thick & stinky goo from the stink orifice. I got totally skunked, but dumped the victim and back-filled the hole, before stumbling to our back porch, stripping and taking a very long shower. I could smell & taste skunk scent for two days.
Maybe you need a meaner dog?

Uh, chief, I put some ear pro on the woman as she fired the .22 pump.
and yeah, re: "personal weps"...I don't own that firearm. Nor do I care/fear/worry/sweat showing them on the web, given that I don't believe a national firearm clampdown is possible.
mid-aged folk with complex and nuanced politix trying to find their way in the world. better
Now, down to brass tacks, should we prison wallet that sh#t to be true westerners?

Reilly: You're more than welcome, especially if you can justify the discrepancy in retirement and health care benefits.
Talk to your congressman. They like wearing their flag lapel pins but when it comes to veterans, they forget all that patriot BS when they leave the service.
