We have been having alot of damage inflicked on our feeders and our deer blinds by racoons in the last month. I deceided that some coons had to go so I sat over some of our spin-cast feeders on friday night for a couple of hours. I had a group of 5 small ones come in right after dark then a group of 3 large coons came in a hour later. I was 2 for 5 on the first group and 1 for 3 on the second group. One was a large female and the other two were small males. I used a red head lamp and a ruger 22 with some hollow-points. I am sure that I will have some more shooting in the next couple months.
