I thought my cat had been eating an alarming amount of food lately. It seems a Raccoon is sneeking into my back porch and eating her food. My first reation was BB Gun and punch some holes in it. Then I got to thinking I really dont want to hurt it. So I busted out the paintball gun and Pint it day glo orange.



I waited up for it last night. It turns out it comes at 2:00 a.m. sharp. As I was sneeking out the back slider my Choc. Lab. tried to push past. The ruckus scared the Raccoon away before I could get a shot off.



I feel like I am playing Halo. I taped a Mag light to the barrel so I can hunt it down once it gets off the back porch and into the fenced yard.



Here is a pic of my kid holding the paintgun and my hyer Lab. She really wants a part of the Raccoon bad. I am just worried a wild animal might tear her up. Plus we have been having problems with rabies in South Florida so I think they should not meet.

If it's a big coon he'll take her apart. Sit up on your roof in a lawn chair and let him have it!!

A bunch of raccoons come up on my dads deck if we leave dry catfood out. He wants to shoot some of them with my paintball gun.

be sure and change to your lightest springs, and also set the trigger pretty light. your shooting in your yard so you dont need to tear him apart with the highest settings.

my old autococker wouldn't go below 330fps. Wasn't legal on too many fields. Well, none really. It sounded like a friggin cannon when it was fired. It would rip the bark clean off the trees
