Thanks for clarifying. No dog with us. All I know about old yeller is he died. I thought he was rabid.
Will a 45 Cal. stop a wild hog?

Well, you are correct, in that Travis's mom saves ole yellers life from the gutting by a hog by sewing up his wound with a hair from jumpers (the mule) tail. Ole Yeller does recover, and the story goes on about the hydrophobic cow, and finally Ole Yeller saves the family by battling a hydrophobic wolf. In the end, Travis has to shoot Ole Yeller because he does have rabies. Let me tell you, that was pretty darn sad, and as anyone knows that has had to shoot a pet for any reason, it hurts, and it hurts bad.

I think I was 5 when I saw old yeller at a drive in movie with my family. The kid killed his dog! WHAAAAA!!!! Anyhow, it took a good long while for someone to explain to my satisfaction why anyone would kill his own dog.

Yeah, you might have been a bit young for "ole yeller".
The movie was about a young boy having to grow up and face adversity before he was ready due to some horrible circumstances that were thrust upon him.
Now compare Travis's actions and responsibilities he shouldered compared to our 20 somethings in college today wanting their safe spaces and coloring books when something doesn't go quite their way or someone says they disagree with them. Travis was a heck of a lot more "grown up" than anyone twice his age I have heard about recently in the news.

You answer vehemently indicates you missed my point. Hint: It wasn't about what you wanted, it was about 2 facts
I dont believe I mentioned the term safe warmer or investment.
I shoot my anaconda, and pythons... Fine guns.
If you are uncomfortable talking about it, we can drop it.

Scarriest part of that post was when you said you fired into the air.
Remember the rules of safe shooting.. Know your backdrop/where your projectile goes. Impossible shooting into the air. Also illegal in many places.
Shooting into the ground.. Much safer!
Hopefully you had a smoothbore and it was full of shot, and not a small caliber rifle.

You missed an American classic. Look it up - you'll be glad you did.

Hey deerefan, I went to high school in Mandeville. Our house was in Lewisburg, (first left off the Causeway). We were all the way at the end on 6th beach. There was nothing for 5 miles until you hit Madisonville. There were gators and hogs and garr fish! It was a cool place to grow up.
Hey Soundguy, I was in the middle of the woods I just mentioned with a 12 gauge full of #6. No infants were harmed during the event.
