raccoon

[Fishaholic]

got it  a few nights ago. she was getting into my trash can and came into my house and i chased her off and grabbed by 22 and shot it right behind her shoulder with a winchest cb match it was 30 or more pounds and has 8 rings around the tail

I didn't even think they were in season? Am I wrong? If they are nice work

[Fishaholic]

no there not i got permission for the WDFW to remove the  Nuisance animal. the night before they killed my cat on my front porch. so this is a legal kill.  i am also getting my trappers lisence so i can deal with the rest of the family.

Sweet man looks like a lot of fun!

[Fishaholic]

yeah, i was surprised the cb caps worked so well there only 29 grain bullets and sounded like a BB gun. the raccoon ran about 30 feet and dumped over

thats one h3ll of a trash master pic  no offense but nice shot if you really had permission 

[Humptulips]

You know you really do not need permission from WDFW to kill problem wildlife if it is on your own property and it is doing damage.

You know you really do not need permission from WDFW to kill problem wildlife if it is on your own property and it is doing damage.

That is correct, however, you are then supposed to contact WDFW to let them know you did the deed.  Best just to quietly wack those troublemakers....  Too bad deer don't fall into that category.     CB's are nice but can mushroom on the back of their (coons) thick skulls.

ya i learned that, shot one from 15 feet away and hit it between the eyes and it made a big ''WHACK''  and it tryed to run up my fence and i had to finish it off with a knife. true story.

I will back you up on the cat issue.... My wife had a kitten once and at around 2am I hear this loud screaming going off at my front door ...I run down the steps with no gun or anything and when I opened the door this huge arz coon had her kitten cornered ..I tried scaring it of but it would not leave ... I then run upstairs crab my bow , screw on a broadhead and run back down the stairs ...We had this fir tree right in front of our house ..I hear the kitten still screaming but now its at the top of the tree ,, I could see the coon and I had enough light to see threw my peep so I whacked it and it landed right on top of my wifes hood  Seriously !!!! left alittle dent but saved her kitty... she was happy I did that .... and another thing I would do with neighborhood opposums is take a plate full of scrapes and place it under my fir tree in back and sit there at my kitchen table with bow in hand and leave the slider cracked open just enough so I could get an arrow threw it ......works really well ...cant remember  how many I whacked but it was a few !

ha ha ya  when i was little i remember seeing 3 raccoons tearing apart a cat, one coon was by the cats head the other was by the tail and it looked like they were casing her alive and my old man stepped out side with a pistol in each hand and shot 5 or 6 coons and our neighbor called our house and asked what the hell was going on( it was about 330 in the morning).

go to you local feed store pick up a live trap and go to walmart or somthin and pick up a higher end 22 cal pelet gun nice and quite and 1100 FPS catch them in the trap and put one in thier head. I remove about 2 to 3 coons and opossums from my girlfiends mothers house a month now if she would just let me shoot the cats

Live trap and a garbage can full of water.  When you catch the coon.  Drop the cage into the water.  Come back 20 minutes later and it is taken care of.  No shooting involved.

I use a gamo .17 pellet gun head shot seems to work for me

You need a coon hound. Talk about fun!
