I don’t recommend trying to kill a racoon with a .22. They have thick fur and hides. They run away after taking a .22. They may eventually die from it after some suffering.
You need something more powerful than a .22 to humanely kill a raccoon. You might get lucky and pierce their brains but your chances are much less than 50/50 that you’ll kill it.
That old O3-A3 should do the trick.
On the one occasion I had to dispatch a raccoon I used a .22 short. But it was in a cage trap so the shot was close and precise.
well if it crawls away and dies that is ok. not the best but. I can’t discharge a firearm in the hood. pellet, when no ones looking. may be the bobcat will eat em. but i doubt that.
