Sounds like you're gearing up for a wild garden party! Don't get me wrong, I love a good BBQ as much as the next person, but I'm pretty sure your plant pots aren't exactly the most welcoming spot for unwanted visitors.
So, who's dares to challenge the King of the Garden? Is it a neighborhood raccoon or just a stray lawn gnome looking for a fight? Either way, bring. It. On.
P.S. 57-inch hunting bow? You're not exactly the next Hunger Games victor, but I'll give you points for enthusiasm!
