Some years ago I am out deer hunting and walking out in the star light. Something begins growling and charges me from across an open field. I cannot tell how big it is or how far away it was due to lack of reference points.
About 7 yds out I yell at it and am able identify it as a coon. It turns around and runs off so I made a derogatory comment about it's lack of bravery. (^;
It turned around and charged again, I yelled again, but it kept coming. I drew my hunting pistol, drew the hammer, and dropped it on the safety pin. The juvenile coon was now still running at me and was at my feet. I drop kicked it and it left.

Always carry three extra magazines or speedloaders. Otherwise, plinking just ain’t no fun...

The neighbors heard nine shots. There's a reason Barney was allowed only one bullet kept safely in his pocket.

Once a raccoon jumped and attacked me. Good thing I had a carhardt
on. I was hiding behind a tree, trying to catch kids who were doing donuts on my lawn. Never again!

Sounds like a Jerry Clower routine to me.

Reading a book ain't nothing like doing it.

Raccoons are typically afraid of humans, unless this DC one is somewhat tame. Nonetheless, they can be extremely viscous, downright nasty and scary. I can see why this clown wanted to shoot it. But 9 shots at this close of a range?

We can laugh about this, but raccoons are incredibly strong and can be extremely mean. I used to coon hunt and saw some coons tear up dogs. I watched a 15 lb coon soundly beat a 120 lb coon dog, to a degree that the dog never tracked coons again. The owner had to make the dog a deer dog; which reduced the dogs monetary value by about 2/3s. If a coon started actively fighting me, I would start shooting and only stop when I ran out of bullets.

He is clearly too ashamed to admit the raccoon got his gun and shot him. I don’t blame him. Those varmints are big.

They killed our beautiful cat once. He was the dumbest cat we had at the time. There was a water dish on the porch and the other cats just let all the wild animals eat out of it. He tried to defend his stupid water dish.
