her house one evening after dark and the headlights caught 2 of them on the fence, near a tree.

We tried various ways of scaring them away, but when they wouldn't move, I grabbed a dowel and pushed the first one. He ran away. The second one wouldn't budge so I hit him. Still wouldn't budge. Hit him a 2nd time, harder, and he fell off the fence into the neighbor's backyard.

Thought nothing of it until the next morning when my son asked if it was still back there. I walked up, held my phone over the fence and snapped a pic to show him it was gone, only it was still there. Dead. We quickly walked away
