Some of y'all's responses reminds me of Jerry Clower's Coon Huntin' Story where he talks about giving the coon a "sportin' chance" by not shooting it in the tree but climbing the tree & throwing it out into the pack of dogs...
"Give every coon a sportin' chance... That coon has the option of whoopin' every dog in the pack & walking off... Give everything a sportin' chance"...
