HA! Good morning precious sister! Yes, if it wasn't for those complicated laws and such I would be happy to mail you something to help. we have to get him out of there and/or get you the rest you need.
I see there are some natural enemies, can you have a peregine falcon or something like that for a pet? He just might eat the annoying little Mr. Willie Wagtail.

Because I'm a history nerd. But I guess you're right, it wouldn't be as fun.
Maybe a Kentucky Long Rifle would be a better range choice. "Shoots straight as the Road to Hell and twice as wide."

Or a genuine Hawken gun.
That's one cool thing about being an American. So many legendary, larger-than-life firearms back in the day. That marketing slogans like "God created men and Sam Colt made them equal."

That's cool! My ancestors sat that one out. I suspect they were Copperheads.
What did they do? Which side?

So you have a little bit on both sides? What an awesome heritage to have.
I have a pair of ancestors who served in the Connecticut militia during the Revolutionary War. And a bunch who served in the British/English Army before that. On mom's side anyway.

My great (I don't remember how many "greats" land in there) grandfather was a minuteman in the Massachusetts militia.
Albeit I haven't been there in around 35 years, the old family homestead is up around the Mass/Vt border. Up until my Grandfather, the family had been in that area for almost 300 years.
No kidding! My mother's family settled in Mass, moved to Vermont, then migrated westward in the 1800's. Really cool stuff!
How much do you know about his service? Was he in any major battles?
I know next to nothing about my ancestors. They could've been latrine diggers for all I know.

I really don't know much about him other than his service as a Minuteman. I'm fortunate enough to have (even before sites like Ancestry.com, etc) a decent family tree partially because my father's family remained in the same area for so long and partially because one of my dad's uncles was town historian in that area for quite a while so he was able to compile quite a bit. I do know that one of my ancestors was involved in the Colonial raid on British forces that acquired the boats that George Washington needed to cross the Delaware for the attack on Trenton New Jersey.
My folks have a copy of a book (one of these days I'll have to get it from them) printed in the late 1970's by some distant relative which is basically a reverse family tree tracing all the descendants of that one man.
DUDE! That is so cool! Anything to do with the Battle of Trenton is pure, rock-solid, American myth. I wish I could know the same. Maybe someday...
At times I feel like I missed out because I never really got to know my extended family (older generation) on my Dad's side because we moved from the east coast to the west when I was 6. My dad spent a lot of time up in Mass when he was a kid and when I was little he still had a couple of uncles and cousins that lived there. Now (after 300 years) there is no one in the family that even owns property in the town they helped found.
