Got to add about 500 pounds of meat to two families freezers a few days ago. On day three of the hunt, this guy fell over (after walking about 10-15yards) about 150 yards from me. The WildWest Co-Pilot did a great job with all rounds fired hitting the heart/lung area. The only slug in him not in pi...

A normal Night response (depending on how the dog launches) is an 870 Marine with red dot sight with two Buckshot then slugs. Or a lever gun in .44 or .45 with a red dot sight.

Most county and city judicial systems have computer access for the public you could search through. Remember to do Civil, criminal, and traffic. Next, some locations have what is called a Criss Cross that list everyone in town. Finally, try the property records, Good luck.
