Wayne SW/MO Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I had a half grown coon on my porch this morning. I'm not sure what was going on with him. I thought maybe he had distemper, and he may have it, but it must be early because he was full of piss and vinegar when I shooed him off the porch. We have a cedar that is probably an easy 50' and he went up 20' or so into it and settled on a limb to sleep. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Terrierman Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Keep trying with the cat food. I've caught several that way. Closer to den the better.

I'm telling ya..... this one isnt gonna fall for that elementary crap. This ain't no Wile E. Coyote we're dealing with here. The only thing that'll stop him is a set of Firestone's.
Guest Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 He's lucky that I missed with the 12gauge last year, its a full choke & I got too close when I blasted the #4's. This was on foot in the side yard as he was walking the fence row. I snuck up on that dude & missed at point blank range. Next time, he might get the 7mag from 40 yards, its sure to spread the aroma.

If I was going to shoot one with a rifle, it would be a .22 LR or .22 WMR. Might still spray but maybe not. They really don't move very fast and are no harder to kill than a cat but remember there is a lot of fur on them.
Goggle-Eyed Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 no harder to kill than a cat but remember there is a lot of fur on them. from experience, that scares me a bit!!! cats and the 9 lives saying seem to be what i have seen!!!! LOL... Good Luck with the skunk!!!
Guest Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I swtiched to ice cream & brownies, but caught a possum instead.
Terrierman Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Possums are one ugly critter. Toothy critters too. The most teeth of any mammal.
Wayne SW/MO Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Toothy critters too. The most teeth of any mammal. Did not know that. We have a constant stream of them through here, best fly deterrent there is. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
