This is sick. To kill an innocent animal is sad. Steve, by killing this creature you screwed up, in a big way. What will you do differently going forward to avoid similar incidents? Sorry, but killing innocent creatures and then bragging about it paints a pretty sad picture of humanity. Here's an idea. Next time you see a creature by the side of the road, slow way down. That's what I do, and it works.
