Not on my Watch

Unread postby Boogieman1 » Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:29 pm

Been after this sorry sucker for awhile now. Been getting in the dogs food and in my trash for close to a year. Finally slipped up and moved in daylight! Just happened to look in the backyard and spotted him. Ran and grabbed my bow and slowly slid open the dinning room window. Fired a field tip through the screen. Nothing but net! Well worth it if you ask me. Besides my wife never notices that window anyway. :? Courts Adjourned...

Thanks! Shot wasn't that great he was only 10-12 yards away. But I must say I had a mild case of coon fever! Been after this thing so long it kinda felt like a buck hunt, dear lord don't screw this up lol. Think I'm gonna opt out on the hat, thing smelled a bit rank. However, I might opt for just the tail. Be styling like Bunny on Platoon lol. The hole in screen isn't that bad you really got to look for it to notice it. Now that u mention it, what hole? That's always been there!

Certainly don't wanna upset Carol or anyone else. Should mention I don't take pleasure out of killing things just for the heck of it. I tried a live trap for a week and managed to catch every stray cat in the county. Next I bought a hand trap and baited with a coon grabber. With a buffet of dog food and the sweet smell of trash he didn't care for it. Nothing more I would have enjoyed than to stuff him live in a buddy's mailbox or let loose at a co workers house. Just couldn't catch him.

A bit of history with the raccoon, he chewed the thermostat wire to my unit twice, tore up all the electrical under my truck once and there's only so many Saturday mornings you can go out in your Pj's picking up trash b4 this sucker has got to go.

Didn't ever hear bout that one! But now I don't feel so bad. That coon was just trained to the door, if I would have opened it I had no chance. Needed a special opportunity and dang it I got it and took full advantage. Couldn't be happier, he's currently being scored for Coon & Crockett keeping my fingers crossed 8-)
