Tick-Tock

The die has been cast; we've crossed the Rubicon towards retirement.  Now it is just a matter of time.  We've had the inspection (amazing result for a 121 year old house - 10 year effective age) and the appraisal (in the ballpark, but lower than the sales price).  The sellers agreed to drop their price by $10K, so we're getting a really good deal.  We are set to close on or before May 17th.

In the meantime, we'll all have to use our brains to imagine what it might be...which brings me to the contest at which I've hinted.  Let' see who can guess the first thing that will be shot from the porch, with the tiebreaker being the name of the shooter.  

So far the lineup is:

Armadillo



Skunk 


Possum



Coon


Gray squirrel


Fox squirrel


Cottontail


Swamp rabbit


Sasquatch


Red fox


Gray fox


Bobcat


coyote


Rou-garou


deer


hog


rat


turkey


dove


...or crow


Remember, the tie breaker will be to name the shooter.  Mike T., Joe T., Jack T., Alice T., Audrey T., Scott T., Brian T. Pappa T., Big Daddy, Gran, someone else named Fell.

You don't have to pick from either list, but if you go rogue (off list) for either choice and you are correct, you will get double the points.  The prize for the winner will be determined later...but it will be fabulous.
