Why we need "dangerous" boys

5-year-old pins rabid fox during cookout

Hard for me to imagine a 5 year old doing this, but huzzah for Rayshun McDowell! How many kids would have screamed and run? Or tried to pet the cute little drooling fellow? Or sought to offer assistance to the poor sick animal? Somehow Rayshun's instinct was to act decisively and aggressively to protect his family.

North Carolina...Hmmmm...you know those southerners. Note a handgun was readily available, albeit apparently not used effectively. I have a hard time believing that three solid hits from ANY caliber handgun is NOT going to stop a fox - so I am guessing some more time spent at the range is in order. But thankfully, some crutches and a stick beat the little fox into oblivion. Not exactly a PETA moment.

Five years old! Wow. Give 'em a medal.

Good deal! What a brave kid. The neighbor's heart was in the right place, too, but not his front sight. That's why I rely on a shotgun for pests, rabid or not. Takes care of problems with one shot.
