Jeff, what was the varmint?

I have already been forced to go to magnums, they knew the rang of the shorts & longs. Sniping is the only way anymore.

I've taken 11 this year so far. But after you thin their ranks they send in the opossums for reinforcements. Taken 8 of them stinkers. ![[Linked Image]](http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad319/justin10mm/0025.jpg)

T Lee, my son was born in 1964. His first rifle was that Savage 72 Crackshot (1974?), and he still has it. Great little starter rifles. I never thought about a re-chamber. Thanks.

It is a tack driver out to 100 yards or so.

Marlin 39 has been my coon war tool over the years. They are persistent little varmints.

they are hell on Deer Feeders Few years ago I went to the lease to set up the feeder and forgot the varmint guard. Filled up the feeder anyway with the intent to return in the morning. Didn't make it back for about 36 hours and I was cleaned out. 250 pounds of corn gone in 36 hours! Their cute little paw prints were all over the place. Hate them things worse than hogs.

am thinking you're the dude they were talking about in the tactical flashlight thread! is there a number I should call to tell em TLee has a tactical setup to shoot coons?
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

a tacticoon rifle! as far as where to release those coons from the Havahart traps....I like to set them in a couple of feet of water for about five minutes, then you can pretty much release them anywhere you want. Damn, my worst death would be drowning and to each their own, but damnit man, shoot em in the head if you are going to kill em. Thats what I do. Couldn't cotton drowning something on purpose.

I think its the fact that our yard has 4 dogs... we have caught armadillos left and right and some possum.. but not a coon and no destruction to bird feeders etc... yet....
I have noticed tracks at the protein feeder though and I've never seen them there.
Broke down finally and got weak today and ordered a damn game camera.... may change my tune at the protein feeder after that....

haha, if I had to, would use the H/H without a doubt... unfortunately the newest dog is a stray that we took in and is a super dog... but lightning and guns scare the crap out of him... I'm about in the same boat due to taht.... 22LR single shot, firing Aguila super colibri to the head... quieter than most pellet guns....

Steve, My 29 yr. old tax lawyer son-in-law, who I think you have met, was up from New Orleans with my daughter for a wedding. He spotted a coon in my yard and pointed out the pecan tree he was in. As it was dark, I took my 8 3/8" K-22 and a flashlight out in the yard. I spotted the coon's rear end about 50' up in a fork and popped it with a subsonic HP. He growled and clawed around in the tree, then hit the ground. I finished him off with a head shot. This young man, raised in the city, gleefully announced that this was his first "hunting trip". He seemed impressed with the whole operation. Knowing New Orleans city folks like you do, I'm sure you'd appreciate that one. DF
