I rented a farmstead out for a few years out in the middle of nowhere. One night I was woken up by a loud noise outside of the back door. I looked at the clock and it was 3:30 in the morning. I kept hearing a pounding sound outside of the door. Talk about getting the heart pumping. So I snuck down stairs with the shotgun and some 00 buckshot and get to the door and I could still hear the sound. So I counted to 3 and opened the door and turned the lights on outside all at once, and standing on my porch was a big Angus bull!!! That thing was very close to getting shot I centered my sight right between his eyes but somehow managed not to squeeze off the trigger

Don't sneak around. Barricade/guard the family and call 911 within reason. Weapon choice is debatable.

I prefer birdshot and a FC. One could also say choke has no meaning within home ranges. The above vid is a good example of the need for extended range relative to pattern density. A turkey gun with small shot is the best home defense weapon and perhaps the best turkey gun. IMHO

I have an older (6 or 7 years old) Tom Mt Lion I see 7-8 times a month here, he minds his own business and Max and I mind ours.

Now the "new" young Tom may find his way onto the floor as a rug and into the crock pot if he keeps screwing around.

sneaking around is funner. Stealth mode is my favorite. I'm a ninja
