2labs Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Re: trapped my 1st coon Yes you should add more swivels, they help alot!. Try useing 22 shorts and shoot them in the heart if possible, alot less blood , works well on coyotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Re: trapped my 1st coon get some .22 shorts and shoot the base of the ear. It makes a small hole an the fur is long enough to cover it on a racoon i would assume. Be careful how you set smares and it is easy to get the wrong animals.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Re: trapped my 1st coon Nice coon!! If that one weighs 24lbs, then I wonder what the one I shot would've weighed!! That one is like 2/3 the size of mine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutter Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Re: trapped my 1st coon Congrats on the coon Big Al. I had a mom and 3 little ones troop under my stand 2 yrs ago first and last time Ive seen coons in the wild. Had the little ones been bigger I would have tried a shot at mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
