My BiL and I would walk on cold sunny days and shoot coons out sunning on limbs. We got 25-30 bucks for them in the early 80's. We both had surplus alice packs for hauling them. He had a "dead" coon come back to life in the bag, wish I video of him and that coon rolling around.

Vaseline and a pliers. Or is that the bot fly?

If squirrels got to 100 pounds, you would need a cannon to kill em.
Groundhogs can be tough too. Have walked up to where I shot one and seen chunks all over. Blood spattered everywhere and a nice wide trail to the hole. Could here them breathing still.

Woodchuck, I've spun those suckers around in a circle with a 410 and they keep right on running.

Snapping turtles? When I was a kid I shot a snapper through the neck with a .22 LR and watched a caliber size stream of blood pump from that hole. I went on and some time later came back and that turtle had crawled about 150 yards to a pond pumping blood all the way. Catfish seem to be able to hang on out of the water for a surprising amount of time.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

My vote is for fleas. You can try to mash one between thumb and finger all you want then watch it merrily jump away. Ticks come in a close second.

Vaseline and a pliers. Or is that the bot fly? A lot of flying insects will take off and fly if their head is cut off - typically only in a straight line though. My grandfather used to pull the heads off the grasshoppers in our yard whenever he came around - they'd fly straight and even gain altitude if they came head onto a wall, and then fly over the top and then straight. This wasp even tops that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LmdmltW-XU
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

I vote cat.
Head shot will anchor them, anything else and they’re gone.
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Opossums are very hard to kill.... I'll take all you got plus any mouse eatin' snakes to get rid of the rodents that do the most damage. Plus anything that eats stink bugs. They're hard to get rid of too.

Kids, and I gave them every opportunity. They are in their 30's now. Ungrateful, still, too. Boat swampings ( they refer to my old trustworthy 1972 boat as "the submersible". Once, Ty was hoping for a helicopter rescue.), living in bear habitat with bears regularly through the yard, "moose hunts", mama moose giving birth to calves in the yard, driving rain storms on camping trips ("just lay there- I don't care if your are in a puddle of water, we need the weight for the tent not to blow away!" ) , trips to the remote cabin which they for some reason term "survival trips", leaving them alone in malls (damn- they have good directional skills!), fishing trips to remote lakes when they had chicken pox. etc. They know "deal with it!" I like to think of myself as a good parent..... What the hell - I tried and failed - they will make it, whatever.
