Bingo!

I haven't shot any, but our secured garbage cans are a near nightly
target for possums, bears, and raccoons. Whenever I go out at night
to check any unnatural noises that may be garbage raids, I take a 12
gauge. I'm not gonna be the one who is surprised! Sure, I'll put one
over their bow to run 'em off, but if that don't work, it's a pump.
