A better way is to shoot the animal high in the neck, just behind the jaw bone. These idiots need some hunter safety training.
This guy may get himself into trouble for playing Whack a Gator.
The problem is placing a shot when the thing is down on the ground and is thrashing and writhing around. To be honest I know how to shoot a horse but this situation would give me pause. And of course this is in a suburban area, surrounded by people, traffic, etc., where you do not want a shot to go astray. You could certainly do it with a nine--heck, you really could do it with a .22 if you knew what you were doing--but there's a reason Virginia mandates the use of 30.06 when deer hunting.
