I would not expect a .22 to ricochet of an ordinary live trap, but I have never conducted the experiment.

He dropped the gun and it fired again, shooting him again in about the same spot. Okay, no more shootin for gramps.

A .22 is just a lead slug, I don’t see how that could ricochet, then the gun went off from dropping it? There has to be more to this story.

First coon I shot I used and old 25 gage that jammed up. The went to the 38 special and heard it ping off the cage wire, then my old neighbor told me to never shoot anything in a cage...he came over when I got a wood chuck. Used an air pistol to stun the critter dumped it out of the cage then shot it....I learned my lesson, don’t shoot into a live trap, you can get hurt....but the pond had dried up and couldn’t drown the nasty critter...Hate rabies carrying vermin. Nasty thing spit and growled at me before I shot him. Blood thirsty predators those coons are...

This guy really needs to hang up his handgun, and take up skydiving or scuba diving.

If he was going to eventually kill the varmint anyway he should have used a different trap.
Either way, ya got to be smarter than the varmint.
