got one of them the next night. shot in the snout with 22lr. havent seen the other one since.

Great job, so the fur isnt worth a darn right now? dang I was going coon hunting tonight :bash:
It seems too early and too warm for the fur to have gotten decent. I seem to recall in the trapping class that they said prime racoon has a pretty small Nov-Dec-Jan window. I might be wrong though.

Way to weed a few out!! Problem is too many huggers find it is nice to feed those pests cat food, etc.
Don't ever go down the 5-Mile Drive in Tacoma... they're ridiculous out there for that reason, hand fed by everyone.

Don't even need to bother with the treat, if you stop your car and roll down the window they literally come running at you lol.. (this was a cell phone pic with no zoom so they pretty much try to jump in your car with you)

so you could go hunting with a bag of chips and a hammer :chuckle:
That would fix having to sew up a hole in the hide.

Neighbors had a family move in under their house. Didn't know it till it started to smell. $5000 to repair the damage :yike:

I know why you've got a soft spot for them, either A. someone pushed that soft spot in your skull a little too often when you were an infant B. you donate to HSUS or C. you've never had chickens or rabbits. :chuckle:

Silly racoons think that a trellis is a tree. :chuckle: Four shots later, two coons on the ground. I realized I didn't even use the scope. Not bad for instictive shooting --- four holes in two coons. 8)

I might try some hound hunting this winter, could be fun. There are way too many large off-limits areas to eliminate them.:tup:
Post by: lokidog on October 20, 2013, 10:23:36 PM
Good thing I have lots of crap laying around the yard for them to make noise on. :rolleyes:
Might try some pepperoni as well with these.

It is nice to feed them. For desert I like to feed them lead.

Shoot racoons. Split them open a bit and hang high in chicken yard.
Flies deposit spawn, maggots eat racoons and drop into chicken yard.
Chickens eat racoons...

I have a 20 pound Maine Coon cat that chases raccoons up trees like a hound dog. One night he treed 5 coons in the oak outside our bedroom window. He sat at the bottom of the tree howling. I ran out, saw what was going on and made it rain coons with my .410! :chuckle: Damn good cat!
Are you trying to say there is a use for cats besides shark bait??? :chuckle:
