Have coontails and velvet tails here with velvet tails being ill tempered, vile creatures that will bite without even having an excuse. Found this goat three weeks ago on a hillside where the velvets are prevalent; on three legs and the struck leg swelled so tight that there was no elasticity in the hide. Did not have a firearm with me to dispatch the goat so I loaded him up and as I was loading, the sucker was hooking me the whole time. Was thinking to myself that this one sure does have a lot of try- while I was heading back to the barn where there was another truck that did have a gun in it. Got to the barn and thought, well heck I aim to give him a try, so I put him in the hospital pen and he went right to the trough and put his head down and went to eating. Loaded him up with a heavy, heavy dose of procrane and thought I would give this one a chance. Photo was took today and as you can see the snake got him pretty good. Still have a little necrotic tissue to cut away and then will pull hide and sew. Three legged goat ain't worth much, might train this one to be my next judas.
