My dad does have a pellet gun but I have no idea if it will take out a racoon
Anybody near me selling a 22lr for a reasonable amount of money?
Tannerite is the only way to go. The other coons take notice, and vacate the area.Usually takes a couple of point blank to the skull to kill one.
I know(last time I checked) that it's illegal to relocate racoons in Indiana, so it will have to be dispatched one way or another. All I have atm is a 1911, a 22LR would be sufficient but I'm not in a position to buy another gun atm.
I know somebody with a coon trap but I can only imagine how messy it will get blasting it with my 45acp...
I catch chipmunks with a bucket full of water. Highly effective. And no noise.
A few years ago when the tree rat infestation was out of hand we had a water slide into a large bucket of water. It was very effective. Very effective.
We've got a ton of squirrels in our yard, but we have two large oak trees that produce plenty of acorns. They don't seem to bother anything though. The two dogs are too old to chase them anymore, and I think they and the cat all think they're just other "pets" and they all seem to get along. The dogs (both 13 years old) can literally walk within 5 or 6 feet of the squirrels out in the yard and neither the squirrels nor the dogs seem to even care that the others are there.

Here's what I found on the DNR website:
Resident landowners and tenants can trap a raccoon that is causing damage on their own property without a permit from the DNR. The raccoon must be euthanized or released within the county of capture on private property in which you have permission to release the raccoon. In order to prevent the spread of disease, the DNR encourages homeowners to safely and humanely euthanize the raccoons, if possible. If you do not want to trap the raccoon yourself, contact a licensed nuisance wild animal control operator.

That's just embarrassing.
