I had given him 2 warnings about a week ago but, you know what they say, "3 strikes, you're out!" He would have died with the first neck shot if my dog wasn't trying to bite him but, he adrenaline was high and filled him full of lead...11 pieces of CP Ultramag .22 cal to be exact I want to admit that it felt fantastic taking him out...There, I said it http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/97/coonkill2.jpg Last edited by alphakilla on Mon Mar 08, 2010 3:40 pm; edited 1 time in total _________________ Beeman 1073 Sportsman .177/.22 dual caliber   Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 1:06 pm oddtodd Senior Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 733 Location: eaton preble county ohio usa 11 shots?

I gotta admit I could have stopped shooting it after shot #2 and, he would have died somewhere but, he kept walking and my dog kept harassing him and, caught up in the moment, I continued to unload on the critter cause, it was down right fun I warned him by firing near him several times last week, just to scare him off. He would come back later that night and spoil my trash. broommaster: I was using my break barrel Beeman RS .22 cal _________________ Beeman 1073 Sportsman .177/.22 dual caliber   Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 5:20 pm Lipoly Veteran Member Joined: 06 Dec 2009 Posts: 241 Location: St. Louis, MO, USA How many did it take before it stopped moving? I'm assuming you kept shooting after it was dead? 11 shots would've taken a bit of time with a break barrel I'd think. Anyway, I had a coon ravaging my trash, and knocked my $2500 R/C helicopter off the wall when I accidentally left back door to garage open one night. I caught it in the garage one night but had no way to dispatch it...ended up just opening up the garage door and let him run off. I didn't want to get too close b/c I've heard of coons ripping a dog apart...didn't figure it was worth it. _________________ Philip RWS 350 .22 w/Leapers 4-16x50 Crossman 1377   Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 6:31 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2272 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia I don't think 'coons do so hot against a 9 iron or a Louisville Slugger. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

I thought about that but had visions of it successfully jumping directly on my face and getting plenty of damage done before I got close enough (it was perching up on my garage door rails) . _________________ Philip RWS 350 .22 w/Leapers 4-16x50 Crossman 1377   Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 9:28 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3121 Location: a gun-induced state of euphoria how much did it weigh?? _________________ PIMPIN' AIN'T EASY.....   Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 9:48 pm Mark5043 Senior Member Joined: 12 Apr 2009 Posts: 830 sniper wrote: how much did it weigh??

At one point I was actually trying to spine him so, he would quit running. I load my break barrel so fast you think I got a semi I can shoot on the run too but, I didn't shoot after he died. _________________ Beeman 1073 Sportsman .177/.22 dual caliber Re: Coon kill w/Beeman RS .22 cal   Posted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:50 pm DaveShooter Member Joined: 06 May 2009 Posts: 62 alphakilla wrote: This rascal wandered in my yard looking for my garbage can one too many times.
