I had coon infestations in my attic and barn . After going through that I have no problem shooting them.
Anyone that has had the experience of raccoons inhabiting the house or barn will do the same as you and I have done. Raccoons are destructive creatures and don’t belong in close proximity with humans and their pets. They will kill small dogs and cats and tear up food intended for animals or us. Raccoons can destroy a corn field in a matter of days. If one has a garden, they can destroy it in one night. If one has a chicken house, they will kill all of the chickens in a house in one night and destroy the eggs. I can live trap them and there are families around here that Bar B Que the young healthy ones.
