Doc-44,
God's Speed to you man.
Not many short years ago, I invested a few enchanted evenings seeking poachers, during the month I spent working for a safari company, in South Africa but found none.
If the situation presents itself again while I'm in Africa, I might have a go at them again one day, you never know about crazy old farts like me.
I have confronted a number of armed/violent/dangerous felons, before I retired from my career and they do not scare me like they should, they just make me very angry.
Likely I do not have enough brain cells to register the danger properly.
The most dangerous animal on earth walks on it's hind legs.
Stay safe amigo,
Velo Dog.
