When I was a kid one of my friends had a pet coon. He lived on a farm. I've seen some big coons but nothing like his. That thing got so fat - it weighed right at 50 pounds according to his bathroom scale. It could just barely waddle around slowly. I couldn't imagine a wild one weighing that much.

Any luck, Caleb? I've been locked in a war with a raccoon in my roof for over two months. Damn thing escapes my traps, so I'm going to buy one of those leg lock traps. I can tell you for a fact that you can get away with loosing a few .22s without arousing suspicion. I live practically next door to my police department and the former county sherriff's house, and nobody even drove around. I'm also investing in some CCI Quiet. 22 ammo so I don't have to worry again.

Usually takes a couple of point blank to the skull to kill one.

had a rabid coon take 5 x 22lr’s to the head.

just use a 9mm or honesty man up grab a hose and drop a 45 on him.

Little peanut butter on the end of a pellet gun bbl and he'll do most of the aiming for you. Long soak is the quietest way if you have access to a bbl, pond or stock tank. Give 'em an extra couple minutes after the bubbles stop. They are a destructive nuisance and eat my bluebird babies. Make good coyote bait.

Town cop next door might not approve.

Catch and release next door and your neighbor will change his tune.

People dispatch fully grown hogs and cattle with .22 shorts, a 9mm is hardly necessary for a coon. If it takes more than one .22 LR to kill a coon, the problem is one of shot placement not caliber selection.

Ok guys, I think I have a raccoon that made a home out of my crawl space...I've known for a while that I have a creature digging a hole under my foundation walls, but literally an hour ago, I saw the biggest raccoon walking down the alley alongside my house. Columbus Animal Control won't deal with wild animals anymore and they only gave me numbers to a couple people that charge who knows how much to get rid of a wild pest...any suggestions how I can get rid of them myself before being forced to pay for a service?

Kept trying to catch a kitty that had gotten out and kept trapping raccoons. Finally took them out to a forest (not supposed to do that) so I could trap the kitty. Trapped two raccoons, one old and one young. Other than that I leave them alone.

Not yet...but the moment I catch the pest, I got a crossbow bolt with his name on it...

Hadn't caught him yet...

With a Duke's and a marshmallow?
I'm honestly puzzled.

Are you seeing any sign?

I put a black trash bag over the hole to see if there was any signs that some critter was going through the hole...it hadn't moved.
