Nick Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I went outside to take care of my beagle today. With the temperatures so frigid, I keep his house stocked with plenty of hay. We have an old chicken coop that we keep some bails in. I went to the coop to get some hay with my bare hands...I reached my hand deep into it to get a good arms full and when my left hand got in about a foot, I felt fur and something warm and shaking very nervously. I whipped my hand out and ran to the house to get the .22 and got a shovel. I used the shovel and broke apart the bail of hay to discover a full grown raccoon in it!!!! The .22 took care of him and I feel very lucky I'm not in the hospital getting my hand stitched up and a tetanis shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Re: That Was a Scare!!!! Amazed at the sentiment for a coon in here sometimes. They're vermin in these parts, I hate them. Good job Nick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Re: That Was a Scare!!!! I'll take a coon any day. Seems like I always manage to find a rattlesnake in the hay bales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Re: That Was a Scare!!!! [ QUOTE ] Honestly this is scary.....Hopefully you didn't shoot the coon in the head. You NEED to get it tested for rabies if it bit you! That is something that is pretty darn serious.....get it checked, you physician should recommend it! [/ QUOTE ] Cept he didnt get bit ...

Guest realtrhunter Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Re: That Was a Scare!!!! Why does everyone feel bad for coons? They spread disease and get in the garbage, steal the chiken eggs and herass the dogs at night. I wish it would warm up here so I could get back out and shoot some more.
