Well, I think you did the right thing. The law wouldn't care if your baby was killed. You did the only thing you could have done in my opinion. Sometimes you have a hard decision to make. Actually, after shooting at it the first time and then being face to face with it, I would have shot it again at closer range and made sure it was over. Then of course I would dispose of the carcass so nobody would find it. Your little Maggie (I have a Maggie too, her pic in my avatar) would have had no chance against that size bird. |
