If you shoot the can with a .22, it will release the vacuum and allow the can to come right off.

I live in a big city we don't have critters like that around. Why would you want to shoot it? Not like a deer that you would eat.

My grandparents ate Raccoon all the time and as a child I ate it many times. Today I wouldn't touch it.

Yeah, but that was road kill, and it had a "Flat" taste to it!:yum:

Looked like that critter was coming back after the can was pulled off to do some leg chewing!

Dave!!!!!!!:hammer::hammer::hammer::yum:


What?!?! He was just talking physics and vacuum!

'Course the 'coon was breathing and I didn't hear a "Pop" when the can was yanked off his head!

So could be the .22 was a cheap ploy at target practice! But it sure sounded logical!:whistling:

For those of us who have too many of them, let me enlighten you.

1- They can tear the siding off your home
2- They can tear the soffits off your home and get in your home
3- They can get into your garbage cans, you literally need to strap them closed
4- They can kill your dogs, or tear them up
5- They are cute and cuddly but they are also aggressive and mean.

I have no problem with them if they stay in the woods, but any raccoon inside the fenced portion of my yard is a problem or a real potential problem. Live with them and you'll see these problems first hand.

6- Raccoon's account for 41% of all diagnosed cases of rabies in wild animals. If you have domestic animals or children, then the raccoon's have to go bye bye.

Dave, that doesn't surprise me.

Like I said, if they are on the far side of the fence they get to live.
