My wife was going to the store the other day when she noticed a huge racoon walking along the outside edge of my back deck not 10 feet from her. She ran for the truck, got in and watched. He casually strolled across the 10 feet of yard to my persimmon tree, climbed the tree and proceeded to eat the fruit while staring at my wife, sitting in the truck in amazement.
Well, now, there is a critter living in the warm crawl space under my house. It has been digging at the wall behind my stove, driving my dogs crazy. Well, it got through the wall and proceeded to push the drawer open on the bottom of the oven, attempting to gain access to the inside of my house. My dogs are going ape crap all day because it teases them, scratching and throwing pieces of sheet rock out from under the stove at my dogs.
Called the local police, referred me to dnr, called dnr, referred me to local licensed trappers. Called trappers and they don't mess with raccoons because they are too smart and aggressive. In an urban environment, raccoons are at the most dangerous because of all the food. Dnr officer told me that.
All I know is, this footer is about 18 to20lbs and had dads the size of Texas. No fear in him. I can't shoot it because I am inside city limits so I am left with trapping it. What if it's too smart for the trap? I don't sleep well because the dogs won't leave the stove......ever. Funny site but, really need this over with. Waiting on a trapper to show up now. Wish me luck.....

22 caliber rifle round, subsonic. I've got a box made by Fiochii(sp?) Not much louder than a BB gun. I've got a problem with vanishing rabbits in my neighborhood....  |

For that matter, a target air rifle rivals the velocity of .22LR and you can get pellets that will easily kill a coon.

Thanks for reminding me Anvil. The subsonic rounds don't have enough a$$ to cycle a semi auto. Bolt action only for this one kids....

If you shoot him inside, or get under the house where it's at, the noise level will be nil actually. I have plugged a few in my suburban back yard from right inside the kitchen... open window/screen, take aim and pop. Ground hogs, Racoons, Skunks..... and let me tell ya, even a triple bagged skunk will stink after a few hours (I wonder if a sealed 5gal bucket would hold back the odor). Subsonics are the ticket, best in bolt action rifle.... but some will even cycle my Ruger MKIII semi auto pistol (not reliably tho)

2 liter coke bottle actually 3 2 liters cut the bottom off the first one and the tops off the other 2. Pack the first one full of tissues careful tot to get any in front of the opening where the cap screws on then put the top piece of the second inside the first repete this another time and electrical tape it up and to the barrel of your 22. Makes one hell of a silencer. Did this with my browning buckmark rifle and magically 12 cats in our neighborhood dissappeared. Sorry if thete are any cat lovers out there. Just dont like finding their crap in my garden and flower beds. I have some more magic potions for getting rid of rodents if any one would like to hear them just message me. Just stuff you can pick up at your local farm store

But don't get caught... Making that would be a federal felony. Not something you wanna mess around with, IMHO... (I think... Won't claim to 100% know for a fact, but I'm pretty sure that'd be considered illegal manufacture of a class III weapon.) |

I have a .22 pellet rifle (RWS Model 52) that is super accurate and powerful enough to kill a coon. See if you can borrow one, practice a little, then plug the sucker in the head.

The only known natural predator ( besides us ) is a coyote. Coyote urine is available at Gander Mountain (on line if not in your area) , or as a good replacement is non-sudsing amonia. I fought them for about six months in my old house until I learned this trick. If possible, get to the backside of the entrance to spray the fragrence as this will drive them out. Once the vacancy sign goes up, block the enterance with sheet metal. It is a deterant to new tennants for a while. If they burrow, bury chain link fence a couple inches below the grass. The amonia smell will disapate in a few days. (I never tried to use the urine as they were out of it when I needed it) If this method fails , board up the holes and burn the house down (just kidding) I speak from first hand experience.

I'm gonna do this when your kids walk thru' the neighborhood talking loudly and disturbing the birds I'm watching. Parents oughta keep them locked up if they dont want em shot !  And I find the color of your car distracting as well. Might loose a window if ya dont paint it another color. |

Super-Colibri won't cycle a semiauto, but I have shot some thousands thru my 10-22 with no hangups in the bbl. Dirty though. Dogg, if the trappers don't show, why not throw a can or two of insecticide bomb down in where the coon is, and wait outside his exit hole with a sharp ax? |

Just use one shot and no one will know where it came from. Cops come to the door, dont let them in. Tell them you heard it to.
Gavinsons trick will work. Never heard of his way before but have heard of taping a 2L jug to the end of the barrel.

Wow a couple of you are a little hateful. I just dot appreciate other peoples animals doing theis business on my property. I was raised to keep my animals on my property. If your not responsible enough to do this then your animal should be killed on the spot. And as for the one that said you would just shoot kids for scaring the birds, you sir need help and should be locked up for even thinking such a thing. The animals im talking about got many chances and so did their owners. Not toention the claw marks on the hood of my truck. But for someone to even think about shooting a child for anything at all is very low.

Since you know where it is and can access it, poison it and remove the body. Do it before it gets too comfortable or has babies there.

Starlings and grackles crap on my truck every spring. I usually use my .22 but used the 20 ga last spring. It was kinda fun. Got pricey tho. I get about 25 birds by the time the trees leaf. |

several years ago we had a raccoon on the transformer in the back yard. you could see it was in distress, and wasn't moving to quickly. i noticed it 'cause the lights in my house dimmed a few times, so i'm pretty sure that coon was getting a good zapp!! i called the city police and they told me they don't deal with animals, they gave me the number for the local DNR guy, he came by and saw the coon, asked me if i had a gun so that i could "take it out". i asked him why he didn't have one, and he said that he was on the way to a wedding and that he didn't have anything in his truck. so i went and got my .22 Ruger Target pistol then gave it to the guy, he said to me "i'm not going to shoot it, it's your gun" i told him, "i'm not going to shoot it in city limits!!" he told me that a raccoon is a rodent and that i do not need a small games liecense and that he has MORE ATHORITY then the police when it comes to "animal" situations and that I WOULD NOT GET IN TROUBLE!! so, i popped a round off into the raccoon, hit it in the gut, scared the crap out of me, hoping i didnt' hit the transformer!! didn't kill it, put another round in it, this time in the head. got it! as it falls, it hit the top of my steel shed, caving in the roof!! now i've got a good 30# dead coon! the DNR guy say's good shot, then starts to walk away! i'm like, "what the hell am i supose to do with this thing?" he say's through it away!! so to make a long story short, i talked him into taking it! TO HIS NIECES WEDDING!!

Speaking of Purple Grackles, I helped my neighbor once when I was about ten. I had picked up a homemade firecracker cannon somewhere and he had a huge Martin house on the corner of his garden sitting on a 15' pole, the Grackles loved it. He asked me one day if I knew how to get rid of them, told him I had the answer...my cannon. He gave me the OK to try it, so I removed the cap on the back end and inserted the largest firecracker I could find...sucker was like a small stick of dynamite. The cap had a hole in it for the fuse, I filled the barrel first with some wadding then a bunch of heavy sand and pea gravel. Blocked the base so it wouldn't move, took careful aim at the birdhouse, and lit the fuse. His three story Martin house was now a one story bungalow on a 15' tall post, took the entire top off. Got rid of the Grackles though. I was upset with him, he never thanked me for getting rid of them. |

2 liter coke bottle actually 3 2 liters cut the bottom off the first one and the tops off the other 2. Pack the first one full of tissues careful tot to get any in front of the opening where the cap screws on then put the top piece of the second inside the first repete this another time and electrical tape it up and to the barrel of your 22. Makes one hell of a silencer. Did this with my browning buckmark rifle and magically 12 cats in our neighborhood dissappeared. Sorry if thete are any cat lovers out there.

all im saying is if you dont like how I handle animals that make a mess on my property that I worked for and paid my own money for then keep them pinned up. If you call the county police here and tell them your having a problem with someones pet, they tell you to get rid of it yourself, whether that be by catching it and taking it to the pound whete it will eventually die any way or by shooting it. As long as you dispose of it yourself it is perfectly legal out hete In the country where I live. Trust me when I say I do not take the life of someones pet before many warnings to the owners. If yhey cared that much about their animals they would not let them run wild. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own and if they got out and caused a problem on someone elses property I would expect someone to notify me about it and if it happened again I would expect them to be shot. As for the raccoons if no one wanyed to come take care of them if I were in city limits I would shoot them no mater what anyone says. Raccoons are very destructive and will keep coming back. Get rid of your animals however you see fit. Your way may not be the next guys way.

Good thing you aren't my neighbor. I have a cat that never gets out, but if she did one day, and you shot her, I'd be plinking your a$$ with either my Pump Pellet/BB gun, or some "subsonic" ammo in my 22. What the he77 gives you the right?  Anvil is right, not only are you a Douche, but a dumb at at that for publicly advertising the fact that you are. |

Say what you will. Everyone is different. It has alot to do with what area of the country your from, if you live in the city or in the country. I grew up on a farm and have alot of respect for other peoples property. I know the hard work people put into their lawns and gardens. So you guys are right im a big dousche for standing up for what I believe in. I wish more people could work an a farm for one summer, maybe that would open their eyes and see what you worked so hard to produce get destroyed in one night.

I grew up on a farm and have alot of respect for other peoples property. I know the hard work people put into their lawns and gardens. So you guys are right im a big dousche for standing up for what I believe in. I wish more people could work an a farm for one summer, maybe that would open their eyes and see what you worked so hard to produce get destroyed in one night.
A cat turd didnt destroy your garden,you need to move to the city and get you a nice little apartment with a no pet policy and stop pretending to be a man just because your petunias are catshit free ! why did you need a home built suppressor in the country when you were in the right to kill pets ? Scared your neighbors would drop you dead with something more than a 22 pistol ? Most farmers prefer cat turds to mice in the grain bin..must be a really rural setting with 12 neighbor cats in one flower bed....farm neighbors must live really close to need a silencer. DOUCHE |

I just love how some people jurn a simple post into a big deal. Im at falt for this also should have never said anything to begin with. Interesting to see how people responded though, thanks for the amusement tonight. I have silenced guns for the same reason I have fully auto and 50 cal sniper rifle, because its my american right and because I can.

posting in a open forum that you used home built suppressor to kill pets is always what I do before bragging about my class III purchases. And then I like to call the BMG cartridge a sniper boolet just before calling the midget escort service hotline to complain about getting a tall one last time! |

We have dealt with dogs around here the same way Gavin. Tell the neighbors keep them on your own property. Few days later here comes the Retriever. Went home with 410 shot in him. Died in the owners garage. Folks dont know how destructive pets can be. Cats can kill chickens/ other birds as well as dogs. Neighbors dog came down a few weeks ago and was running the fenceline. Heard the neighbor yelling for him. Had my rifle out watching the the dog. Soon as he would have made a threat to the livestock, I'da dropped him.
I own a Border Collie. He is smart and stays on the property even when I'm gone. He knows his job so he never runs off. Except when it thunders. He ran a 1/2 mile and I expected him to be shot. I would not be upset at the homeowner if he did.

Any one shoots toward my dog while I'm chasing him will have a large entry wound. He shot at me first...musta missed and hit my dog,but I got him when he went to reload. I'm sure he was driving into town to get more ammo but I think he put on his work uniform to try and fool me. |

I spent lots of my youth on a farm; live in a small town in rural Connecticut that has more milking cows than people; wifes family were potato farmers in Northern Maine. I respect other peoples property, and land. But to kill someone pet for a turd in your garden makers you an even bigger turd.  I hope that what happened is that you engaged your typing fingers before your brain, and are now trying to defend an indefensible position. If that is the case, I forgive you. Just stay the hell away from my cat!  |
