Re: Had to shoot a thieving....

Raccoons are tough animals, and very smart too.

A buddy of mine has game camera video of a raccoon climbing a corn feeder, hanging from the varmint cage with one claw while sticking his other front claw through the varmint cage, and hand spinning the spinner plate for 5 minutes to spin out corn.

I once rolled one (while stealing corn from a corn feeder) with 41 Pellet 3 Inch Magnum #4 Buckshot from an 870 12 Gauge with a .675 turkey choke from 15 yards away. He ran another 15 yards before he expired.

Pound for pound they are the toughest varmint out there, except for maybe an Armadillo.

Just my .02,
LeonCarr
