I knew you'd know.

I may actually go today to buy a pellet rifle/pistol for some coons that have been turning over my garbage. They have mastered bungee cord tie downs.

I figure if one of them has to walk around with a 22 pellet in his ass that they may choose another home with a less secure perimeter. They aren't scared of me in the least. When I approach them outside, they all stand up and hiss. My cat won't fool with a pack of them led by a big boar.

I don't want to alert my neighbors with a handcannon...in my hollow it would sound like AAA.

I hope it doesn't degenerate into a replay of my now famous hand to hand death struggle with the Bowie knife on the big boar coon on my houseboat up on Dale Hollow lake a few years back. I still have the scars on my hand and that brave coon is now feasting on the big houseboat in the sky.

I guess my reputation has not yet reached his urban kinfolks down here. They don't show me proper respect.

LOL......knife fighting a racoon ! Kewl ! Before ya spend money on a airgun (unless it's on the gun of the month list) try some of the Agulair (sp?) mexican .22 ammo. Really light CB style stuff from a rifle is actually quieter than my blue streak sheridan air rifle.

Have fun old buddy !.........Stay Safe !

(knife fighting with a racoon..............rotflmao !!!)

Trap him in a live trap and shoot him with the 22 while he is still confined. Works every time.

They're quite dangerous. My husband likens to small bears.

Ya know, that's why I love real men. Willing to fight for their superiority over invading varmits! (and proud of the scars too!) The weenies would howl about "animal rights..."

Amazing story, I would rather just shoot it rather than stick it...
