I was squirrel hunting when I was a teenager and saw a large
raccoon asleep in the top of a dead tree. It awoke and raised its head up, I was using a 22 magnum and put the cross hairs on his head and fired. He crashed to the ground and I walked up to him and flipped him over with my boot. He immediately came back to life and tried to bite my boot, I grabbed a large stick and whacked him good, killing him this time. I skinned him right there and the bullet had only grazed his head. Im glad I didnt grab him by the tail and pick him up, probably would have got bitten pretty bad.
