I'm Ready... The Shotgun is Loaded If My Neighbor Returns to My Backyard!

I'm not usually a violent man...

I have never been much for violence. As a matter of fact I don't even own a gun or rifle. Now I am not one that is against the NRA or anybody that owns a gun.

As a matter of fact, I had to borrow a gun from a friend of mine so I could protect my property. I borrowed a 410 Shotgun from Jim. I distinctly remember the conversation.

Me: Jim, I need to borrow one of your guns.

Jim: You need a gun?

Me: Yeah, for tonight.

Jim: What's going on?

Me: I want to shoot my neighbor.

Jim: What for?

Me: I found out this morning that he and his family were in my backyard last night.

Jim: Well, you want a .22? It's not likely to kill him, but he'll know your serious.

Me: No, I want to kill him and any of the rest of his family I can get at the same time.

Jim: Your going to need my 410 Shotgun most likely, but you'll want to be within 30 yards of him.

Me: Oh, I'll be within 30 yards. I just need to wait for him and his brude to start coming up my backyard and BAM!

Now anybody that has been following my blogs knows I love River Hills here in Valrico and I have loved my neighbors up until now. Those that follow my blogs may recall that I live on a conservation area. Eleven hundred acres of natural Florida woods split in the middle by the Alafia River.

But, now there is a problem neighbor.

Hogs have come from the woods and torn up about a third of my backyard.

Now, the truth is I really am one of those non hunters that respect the rights of others to hunt. But, I am going to call a trapper to solve this problem.

I suspect I will learn a few things about pigs and how to keep them from destroying my backyard.

But, a little help from my friends will be accepted. So what should I do?
