My 9 year old son calls me this weekend as says, "Dad, guess what I just did". "I shot a coon!" The guys at the Herf met him. He's the little one we call Ocho.
So he goes into the story of how he hears his weenie dog barking and going nuts in the back yard. He goes to see what is going on, and he finds his dog has cornered a racoon. He tried to call the dog inside but the dog wont turn its back on the coon.
So he runs inside and grabs his pellet gun. He has a Gamo Shadow that shoots 1000 ft per second. He shoots it in the shoulder and drops the coon.
Now the pride in me doesn't come from him killing the coon. I'm impressed with the fact that he knew he could handle the situation!
He said, "Dad, I wasn't going to let the coon hurt my dog!"
And now the poor coon is dead.
If I had a coon he would look just like the one Ocho shot.

was it a rabid coon or just a regular one..?? 😕
My guess is that it was just normal. It was very small, maybe 10 pounds. There is a stand of woods about 100 yards away and I would imagine he calls that home. I'm sure he was just milling around in trash cans.

A buddy of mine has a coon dog puppy that he is training. He has taken the coon to help the puppy learn to hunt.
So this coon will be a vital part in the death of many more coons in the future!
soudns like the coon is gonna help the puppy-dog learn how to find dead coons... 😟
